BOXING.
Kid HUGHES (Maesteg) and Hector ALDERMAN (Pontypridd) put up a great fight over ten rounds
at Gilfach Goch Workmen's-hall on Wednesday, HUGHES receiving the decision on points.
In the ten-round contest between Tommy HERBERT (Tylorstown) and Johnny DAVIES (Ferndale)
some surprise was caused in the second round when the former's seconds threw the towel
into the ring, there being no apparent reason for such a course.
Albert DAVIES (Gilfach Goch) and George GRIFFITHS (Trealaw) met in a six-round bout. The
referee intervened in DAVIES' favour in the third round.
Thomas JONES 42, a colliery check weigher, living at the Triangle, Cefn Coed, Merthyr was,
it is alleged, found hanging from a rafter in a barn near the local railway station.
JONES is now undergoing treatment at the Merthyr Infirmary. He is a married man with one
child.
A further stage was reached on Wednesday in connection with the alleged murder of the
pretty country girl, Doris Moody BYARD, of Llandenny, on the morning of Sunday, September
12.
Albert Edward RUDGE, who is accused of the crime, was removed from the Monmouth Hospital
to the Monmouth Police-station, and afterwards taken from there in a closed motor-car to
the Cardiff Prison Infirmary.
At the Monmouth he was formally charged.
Prisoner made no reply. His left arm was bandaged in a sling.
Evidence of arrest was given, and Superintendent BULLOCK asked for a remand until Friday,
October 15.
The application was granted. (Will follow this up).
Thomas EVANS, of Whitehouse, St. Bride's near Newport, a workman on the sea wall,
discovered the body of a woman lying on the on the beach on Wednesday morning. The body
was fully dressed, has been identified as that of Mrs. Mary COCKER, of Maesgwyn Farm,
Llanfrechfa Upper. The woman, who had been missing since Tuesday, was last seen leaving
the farm and proceeding towards Pontnewydd.
When she was missed an all-night search of the mountains surrounding her home was made.
It is thought probable that she was drowned in the River Usk some time on Tuesday, and
that her body was carried out to sea, being washed up at St. Bride's when the tide
turned.
A verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded by Mr. D. J. TREASURE at an inquest
at Aberbeeg on Wednesday on Lesie EMES 21, an assistant draughtsman, of Duffryn-row,
Aberbeeg, who was employed at the Six Bells Colliery.
Gilbert Edward HAMILTON said that he and EMES were on the roof of the fitting shop pulling
up some corrugated sheeting by means of a rope to which was attached a clamp. Suddenly the
clamp slipped and EMES fell through the roof to the ground.
He died at the Abertillery and District Hospital.
Dr. W. L. KAY, Six Bells, said the cause of death was pressure on the brain, due to
hemorrhage or a fracture of the skull.
