Western Mail Friday May 21st 1926. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned at the inquest on the two victims of the Old Level disaster at Pantygog on Tuesday, Herbert JONES and Cyril JONES, brothers, of Pantygog. The two men were buried under a fall of rock under the Old Level at Pantygog while obtaining coal for the purpose of the soup kitchens which are being run in connection with the feeding of the miners' children. An audacious but unsuccessful attempt to rifle the pockets of Mr. Trevor JONES, J.P., of Radyr, a Cardiff Docksman, was made at the General Railway Station, Cardiff, on Thursday afternoon. Mr. JONES had just alighted from the 3.15 train from London and was engaged in conversation with his son and the Rev. Canon JONES-POWELL, when he felt someone tugging at his coat. Turning round sharply he found a man had his hand in his pocket. The man bolted, chased by Mr, JONES'S son. A railway ticket collector joined in the pursuit, and an arrest was made in the station approach. The sequel will be heard before the magistrates this (Friday) morning. An ambulance competition for the Ince Challenge Shield will be held at the Methodist Schoolroom, Somerset-street, Abertillery, on Whit-Tuesday, May 25. Monday, May, 24, is the last day for entries to be received. The present holders of the shield are the Ffaldau Institute and Garw Team. Full particulars may be obtained from Mr. A.O. GIBBS, 1. Victoria-street, Blaenau Gwent, Abertillery. According to a report prepared for the Glamorgan Agricultural Committee on egg-laying tests for 1925-26, J. JOSHUA, Tondu (Rhode Island Reds), led with 2,304, and L. DAVIES, Morriston (White Wyandotte), was second with 1,989. Other results were:- R.J. EVANS, Abertridwr (R.I.R.), 1,981, and Mrs. JENNER, Wenvoe (White Wyandotte), 1,958. For single birds in the heavy breed White Wyandottes were easily first. In the test for light breeds HOWELL and PHILLIPS, Barry (White Leghorn), led with 2,960. Two well-dressed visitors called on Mr. Henry BENNETT, tobacconist, of 49, and 50, Adam-street, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening, when he was alone in his shop, and informed him that boys were carving their names on the woodwork outside his premises. Mr. BENNETT was going outside, when, turning back sharply, he caught one man in the act of emptying the cash from the till. The other stranger made a dash for the door, but Mr. BENNETT seized him and shouted for help, whereupon the second intruder leapt over the counter and bolted. A fierce struggle ensued between his companion and Mr. BENNETT, but when civilians appeared on the scene the suspect surrended. A sequel was heard in the magistrates' court on Thursday when Ernest MAKINSON 24,, said to be a Londoner, was remanded in custody charged with being found on enclosed premises and attempting to steal £2. the money of William Henry BENNETT, and further with assault. A hue and a cry was raised in Cathays when a daring daylight robbery was effected at Gabalfa Villa, Allensbrook-road, the residence of Mr. Andrew DAVIES, dairyman. The intruders gained entry by forcing the lock of the rear door. They had evidently kept the premises under observation, for although Mrs. DAVIES, and Miss Margaret DAVIES, were upstairs at the time the theives confined their activities to the basement, purloining a large sum of money, incvluding trade takings from a drawer in the sitting-room and a rental book. Hearing a slight noise below, Mrs. DAVIES, descended, and found her rooms in a state of great disorder, drawers having been ransacked and contents strewn about. Miss Margaret DAVIES, declares that she was just in time to perceive two figures dive into Heath Wood, which lies behind the house. Neighbours joined her in a search for the men, but they made good their escape. Early arrests are, however, expected. Percy LAWRENCE, clothier and boot dealer, of Monnow-street, Monmouth, was committed for trial at the assizes from the local court on Thursday on a charge of driving a motor-car in a wanton manner and causing bodily injury to Albert Stanley REES, an electrical engineer, of Pontypool-road. Further charges against defendant were of being drunk when driving a motor-car and also of driving in a manner dangerous to the public. The offences were alleged to have been committed between Monmouth and Raglan on the night of April 6. Mr. Gibson HARRIS, solicitor, of Brynmawr, defended, and thge chairman of the magistrates was Mr. F.R. BOSANQUET, K.C. Relating to the charge of driving in a dangerous manner Albert S. REES said that he was about 21/4 miles from Raglan and was following another car when defendant swerved across the road. In trying to avoid a head-on collision witness swerved out, but struck the defendant's car. His motor-cycle combination was smashed and he was injured. He was of the opinion that defendant was under the influence of drink. Police-constable MEEDS said defendant denied that he was drunk. Police-sergeant CAINES said that when charged at the police-station defendant denied being drunk or driving in a manner dangerous to the public. Dr. LANGDON, of Raglan, who examined defendant at the police-station, was of opinion that LAWRENCE was under the influence of drink and not in a fit state to drive a car. Mr. HARRIS: What tests did you make ? Dr. LANGDON: I have a dozen tests put down in my book. You can have them if you like. REES, recalled, said he had been medically attended, but had not been in hospital. He was not able to work for three weeks. LAWRENCE, who pleaded "Not guilty," reserved his defence. He was allowed bail. The funeral took place at Newport on Thursday of Mrs. Ellen BREWER, widow of the late Mr. Richard BREWER, Padstow, Cornwall, who died at St. Enodoc, Glasllwch, Newport, at the age of 91 years.
