FACES MURDER CHARGE
CHIEF FIGURE IN GANG DUEL ON TRIAL SEQUEL TO SURRY HILLS FIGHT United P. A.—By Telegrap\—Copyright SYDNEY, Monday. The inquest into the death of Bernard Dalton, who was shot during a gang feud outside a hotel at Surry Hills on November 10, was concluded today. The coroner committed Francis Green for trial on a charge of murder. James Devine, who was arrested on the same charge, was discharged. The chief witness against Green was Walter Tomlinson, who was wounded on the same occasion. Neither Tomlinson nor Edward Brady, who was also wounded slightly, would give the police any clue to their assailants after the affray on November 10. They simply said a dispute had arisen over the second League football Test match, which was played in England on November 9. In the course of their inquiries into the murder of Dalton the police on December 3 carried out a lonely and hazardous trek along the foreshore of Botany Bay, over boulders and through dense scrub, to a lonely hut, where they arrested Francis Green, aged 29, and James Devine.
