Something of a sensation was caused at Haverfordwest when it became known that Mr. D. L. WILLIAMS, a well-known Fishguard man and a former bank manager, had fallen from the train at Clynderwen and been removed to the Pembrokeshire County Hospital in a critical condition.   Mr. WILLIAMS, who up till recently was manager of the Midland Bank at Fishguard, resigned his position a short while ago. It will be recalled that his name was mentioned in the Pembrokeshire Bankruptcy Court on September 20, when Mr. James EVANS, clerk to the Goodwick Urban Council, was examined by the register regarding a deficiency of £1,495.    Mr. WILLIAMS was taken ill on Sunday, and it was whilst he was on the way to a London nursing home accompanied by his brother, on the mid-day train that the unfortunate affair had happened a few miles on the Clynderwen side of Whitland railway station.   After being dressed he was conveyed to hospital with serious injuries.   On inquiry late on Monday night it was ascertained that his condition had slightly improved.
