Note: DROWNING FATALITY

DROWNING FATALITY Old Resident's Death ATTEMPT TO RESCUE FAILS While Mr. William was fishing in a deep hole at Pipeclay Creek, Eurunderee, on Saturday, at about 3 p.m., he saw Mr. Isaac Menchin, an old age pensioner, residing at Douro-street, Mudgee, coming along the Creek. They had some talk and Menchin said he was going to cross over and get figs on the other side. He then left Mr. and went on his way. A few moments later he slipped and fell into the hole, but on rising to the surface immediately commenced to swim to the other side. Mr. who had seen his misadventure, went round to his assistance. Menchin, it appears, kept going till within a yard of the opposite bank, when either from exhaustion or cramp, he ceased to swim. By this time Mr. had reached a spot near him, and held out his hands to the struggling man. He managed to get hold of him, and endeavored to drag him from the water. This was, however, beyond his strength, as the old man was powerless to help himself. Mr thereupon slipped a pair of braces round one of Menchin's wrists, and made it fast to a tussock of grass. He then left to get help. Patmore's, of Eurunderee, was the nearest place, and there Mr. went as fast as he could go. He saw Mr. Frank Patmore, and the latter rushed off to the scene. On arriving there he got hold of the old man and drew him up on to the bank, where he applied artificial respiration, but without result, and shortly after, when medical assistance arrived, life was pronounced to be extinct. The body was conveyed to the morgue. An inquest will be held on Friday. The deceased was a man of 72, and a very well known identity in Mudgee, where he had resided all his life. The remains were interred in the Church of England portion of the Mudgee cemetery on Sunday, the Rev. Canon Parr conducting the funeral service. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. H. Barton. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 7 March 1932, p. 5.

AN OLD MAN'S DEATH The Drowning at Pipeclay Creek INQUIRY ADJOURNED At the Mudgee Court House on Friday, the Deputy-Coroner, Mr R. J. Cohen, held an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Isaac Menchin (71), who was drowned on the 3rd inst, at Eurunderee. Inspector Armstrong conducted the enquiries on behalf of the police. The first witness examined was Constable C. J. Cook, of Mudgee, who stated that at about 4 p.m. on the 3rd inst, in response to a telephone message he went to a deep hole in Pipeclay Creek, on Roth's property at Eurunderee. He there saw the body of a man which he identified as that of Isaac Menchin. On examining the body he could find no marks of violence or of a suspicious character. The body was fully clothed, including boots, and the clothing and boots were satur-ated with water. Witness examined the bank on the opposite side and saw tracks where a man had been walking and slipped. This was right opposite where he was told deceased had been pulled out of the water. To the Deputy-Coroner: Witness was quite sure there was nothing of a suspicious nature about the drowning. To Inspector Armstrong: There had been a thunderstorm that day making the ground slippery. The water was 4ft deep at the side of the bank, but deeper further in. William Roth's Story William Roth, senior, said he was a grazier and vigneron, residing at Eurunderee, about 3 miles from Mudgee. On the 3rd inst. Isaac Menchin, who was employed by him, followed him to the creek, where witness went fishing; he left his rods on the bank on account of the rain and turned back. Deceased was going to get figs, and as witness turned to go home he saw deceased slip into the water. Witness was about six yards away. A statement as to what happened subsequently was put in. According to this witness saw deceased swim towards the opposite bank, and he ran round to give him a hand. A yard from the bank deceased stopped swimming, and witness reached out and got him by the hand. He was unable to pull deceased out, and deceased had his face under water. Witness slipped a pair of braces over the man's wrist and secured it to a tussock. He then ran for help and Frank Patmore ran down, followed by his mother and witness, and they pulled the body out of the water. Patmore tried to restore deceased by artificial respiration. To the Deputy-Coroner: Deceased was in fairly good health, and had never complained of his heart. He was perfectly sober. F. V. Patmore, a farmer of Eurunderee, told how in consequence of what he heard he ran down to the creek half a mile from his place, and saw Menchin in the water. The water was up to his chest. Witness got into the water and got the body out. Later Mr Roth and witness' mother reached the spot, when they got deceased higher up the bank. Witness tore open deceased's shirt and singlet and tried artificial respiration. He worked for an hour without success. To the Inspector: He had training in using artificial respiration in the case of the apparently drowned. He got that training in the Boy Scouts at Granville. Deceased showed no sign of life either in the water or during the operations to restore animation. At this stage the inquiry was adjourned till Monday to admit of the doctor's evidence, the latter having been called to a serious operation that afternoon.
