FATAL MOTOR CRASH
ENGINEER’S DEATH NEAR PALMERSTON FAILED TO TURN CORNER Press Association PALMERSTON N., Today. A formal verdict that deceased died from head injuries accidentally received on May 19 was returned by the coroner at the inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of William Stafford Anderson, aged 38, an engineer, of Canada, who was killed when the car he was driving failed to take a turning at the Taonui railway crossing, near Feilding. Detective Barling said he first met Anderson in 1925 in Auckland. He was born in 1892 in Chatham, New Brunswick, and was a civil engineer. He had no relatives in the Dominion. The medical evidence was that Anderson died from head injuries received in the smash. Evidence was given by two employees of the Bunnythorpe Hotel that Anderson called there, giving the name of Brice, and offered to drive them to Feilding to attend the pictures. He missed the intersection at Taonui, jammed on the brakes and the car capsized, he being fatally injured.
