Western Mail Saturday April 24th 1926. David GRIFFITHS 28, of Cwmgorse, was killed on the road near Old Star Inn on Friday night, being run over by a lorry belonging to Messrs. Fords, of Swansea. Louis EVANS, Salvation Army bandmaster, of 8, Glynhir-terrace, Pontardulais, was riding a bicycle down Maesyberllan Hill, Bettws, on Friday night when the forks of his machine snapped, and he was thrown on his head, sustaining concussion. He was found unconscious and taken to a cottage near by, where he was attended by Dr. STEWART. Mr. E. Charles JONES, deputy coroner, held an inquest at Newport on Friday concerning the death of Leslie ROBSON 27, an insurance agent, of 13 Lower Wood-street, Bargoed, who died at the Royal Gwent Hospital on April 18 from a fracture at the base of the skull sustained as it was thought in a collision with Ernest MORGAN, a boiler smith, of Machen, on a motor-cycle on April 15. Mr. C. Davies JONES, appeared for the relatives of ROBSON, and Mr. H. PETTY (Messrs.MOXON and PETTY) appeared for Ernest MORGAN, who said the collision, for which he could not account, occurred at the Lime Kiln Bend, Machen. He was knocked unconscious. He had ridden over that same road thousands of times. Police-constable FEARIS said he was called to the scene at 6.10 p.m. and found blood and glass on the road. It was a very dangerous coroner. He had heard that this fatal occaision was the first time ROBSON had been out on the cycle. Frederick PUGSLEY, of Newport, a motor-van driver, said he saw ROBSON and MORGAN lying on the road with their motor-cycles lying on top of them. He took both men to Bedwas, where they were medically attended. ROBSON was afterwards taken to Newport Hospital. The Deputy Coroner said he was perfectly satisfied that MORGAN was on the right side of the road, and ROBSON was quite within a reasonable distance of his right side. How the two met, and why they met, he could not say. The only verdict he could find was that ROBSON died from a fracture of the skull caused by falling from a motor-cycle. The funeral of Mr. Ll. WALTERS, of 15, Corn-street, Newport, who served 23 years in the Navy, was accorded Service honours. A gun carriage with a team was provided by the 5th Brigade Royal Horse Artillery at Newport Barracks, and the bearer party was provided by H.M.S. Mutine (the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserrve training ship at Newport), under Chief Petty Officer Strath, of the permanent staff. A bugler from the Mutine sounded the "Last Post" at the graveside. The interment took place in the Cardiff Cemetery on Friday of Mrs. Mary DYER, of 183, City-road, Cardiff. The Rev. Ven. Archdeacon D.H. GRIFFITH (archdeacon of Monmouth), assisted by the Rev. William P. JONES, B.A., St. Jame's officiated at the house, and in conjunction with the Rev. Canon M.JONES, D.D., at the cemetery. The chief mourners were Messrs. G. DYER (son), C. STRATTON (son-in-law), T. SMART and C.H. STRATTON (nephews), W. LANE and F. PHILPS (son-in-law), and C. DURFIELD (cousin). Following an operation Mr. T. Reginald JENKINS, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. JENKINS, of Blaina, died in Siam, where he served on the school inspectorate staff. Educated at the Blaina Central School, Abertillery County School, and Burrow Road Training College he acted as teacher at the Garnfach and Bournville schools, Blaina, afterwards returning to Burrow-road Training College as a member of the staff. In 1913 he took up the post in Siam which he held until the end. Mr. JENKINS, who was 38 years of age and a bachelor, was a keen Rugby player in his younger days, and was a member of the Middlesex County team at one time. John Patrick
