FIGHT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. Death of a Bully.

The bearing of the case in which John Wilston (38) was accused of having unlawfully killed William Edwin Mott in a train between Cannon Hill and Guanana stations on November 29 was commenced at Wynnum Police Court to-day.

Doctor Dods. Government Medical Officer attributed death, to fracture of the jaw and haemorrhage of the brain.

John Alan Nichol stated a boy named Smythe tried to throw a cardboard match-box out of a carriage window, but the wind blew it back on to deceased, who thereupon turned upon the boy and used bad language. Smythe begged the deceased's pardon, explaining it was an accident. Accused smiled, whereupon deceased turned upon him and there were exchanges of bad language. After several times refusing to fight, the accused rose upon deceased striking at him. Witness described the fight, which they said terminated by the deceased who had previously called out "Oh," falling on his face on the carriage floor. Deceased was the aggressor. After further evidence, accused was committed for trial. Bail was allowed. 

The deceased was a married man. 35 years of age and resided at Bride Street, Wynnam South, and was a carpenter by trade.
