FOUND SHOT IN FIELD. A well known
Cleveland farmer, …, aged 61, of Haredale Farm, Moorsholm,
was found dead in a field a short distance from his home last Thursday. At the
inquest conducted by the Cleveland Coroner, Mr Bernard Wilkinson, on Friday, a
verdict of “Death from internal haemorrhage resulting from a gunshot wound,
self-inflicted while the balance of his mind was disturbed”, was returned. Ernest
William Farndale, of Freeborough Farm, Moorsholm, told the coroner that
after Mrs Newton had called about 1:50 pm on Thursday, seeking her husband, he
went with Albert Dale, of 31 Southampton Street, Redcar, to look around the
field. It was nearly 3 pm when they found Newton lying about 20 yards outside
the boundary of his farm, and he was then dead. There was a gun lying near him
with a piece of string fastened to the trigger and the other end attached to a bush.
Farndale said that a week previous to the tragedy he
was talking to Newton, who remarked that he was worried about the damage being
done to his farm by rabbits. He then estimated is it equivalent to a year's
rent of the farm...
