KILLED ON THE RAILWAY
Melbourne 14th June.
The coroner held an inquest today concerning the death of Peter Lester, a carpenter, 72 years, whose body was found on the railway line at Richmond on Saturday morning last. The deceased had been an invalid for 26 years and was depressed and appeared dazed when last seen alive by his wife. Death was due to shock and haemorrhage which could have been caused by a blow from an engine. The injuries were extensive. The coroner found that body was picked up dead on the line, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show how he met his death.
