Waters was an acting Major in the 218th Field
Company, Royal Engineers when, at the second Battle of the Sambre, he |
|
was awarded the Victoria Cross. The citation in
the London Gazette (issue 31178, page 2249) reads:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"For
most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the 4th November, 1918, near
Ors, when bridging with his Field |
|
Company
the Oise-Sambre Canal. From the outset the task was under artillery and
machine-gun fire at close range, the |
|
bridge being damaged and the building party
suffering severe casualties. Major Waters, hearing that all his officers had |
|
been killed or wounded, at once went forward
and personally supervised the completion of the bridge, working on cork |
|
floats while under fire at point-blank range.
So intense was the fire that it seemed impossible that he could escape being |
|
killed. The success of the operation was due
entirely to his valour and example." |

Watson was a Lieutenant in the 1st Punjab
Cavalry in the Bengal Army when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his |
|
actions at Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny.
His citation in the London Gazette of 18 June 1858 (issue 22154, page 2960) |
|
reads:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Lieut.
Watson, on the 14th November, with his own squadron, and that under Captain,
then Lieutenant, Probyn [qv], came |
|
upon a body of the rebel cavalry. The Ressaldar
[the native captain of an Indian cavalry regiment] in command of them - a |
|
fine specimen of the Hindustani Mussulman - and
backed up by some half dozen equally brave men, rode out to the front. |
|
Lieutenant Watson singled out this fine looking
fellow, and attacked him. The Ressaldar presented his pistol at Lieutenant |
|
Watson's breast, at a yard's distance and
fired; but, most providentially, without effect; the ball must, by accident,
have |
|
previously fallen out. Lieutenant Watson ran
the man through with his sword, and dismounted him; but the native officer, |
|
nothing daunted, drew his tulwar [a curved
sword or sabre] and with his Sowars [members of a cavalry regiment] renewed |
|
his attack upon Lieutenant Watson, who bravely
defended himself until his own men joined in the melee, and utterly routed |
|
the party. In this rencontre, Lieutenant Watson
received a blow on the head from a tulwar, another on the left arm, which |
|
severed his chain gauntlet glove, a tulwar cut
on his right arm, which fortunately only divided the sleeve of the jacket,
but |
|
disabled
the arm for some time; a bullet also passed through his coat, and he received
a blow on his leg, which lamed him |
|
some days afterwards." (Despatch from
Major-General James Hope Grant, K.C.B., dated 10th January 1858.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Watson continued his career in the Army and
rose to the rank of General in 1891. |

Sir Henry Vassall Webster [Kt Bach 1843] |
|

Sir Henry Webster committed suicide by cutting
his throat. The following report appeared in the London "Morning
Post" |
|
of 21 April 1847:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"We regret to announce the decease of [Sir
Henry Vassall Webster]. Sir Henry died at midnight on Monday, at his
residence |
|
in Brook-street, from the effects of injuries
inflicted on himself at an early hour in the morning of the same day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The
unfortunate gentleman had only recently returned, in company with Lady
Webster, from the Continent, whither he |
|
had been travelling for the benefit of his
health. It appears that within the last few weeks his malady had increased
rather |
|
than
otherwise. On Sunday night he was left by his servant in bed, nothing
particular being observed in his demeanour. |
|
Next morning at seven o'clock his servant
knocked at the door in order to ascertain whether his master had taken some |
|
medicine left with him for that purpose the
previous night, but on Sir Henry making an observation when witness under- |
|
stood to be a desire that he should not be
disturbed, the man retired. He returned some time afterwards, and knocked, |
|
but on receiving no reply again went away. At
half past eight o'clock he knocked a third time, and finding that his master |
|
still remained silent, became alarmed, and
informed Lady Webster of the circumstance. Her Ladyship immediately suggested |
|
that the door should be broken open, and this
object having been accomplished, the man entered the room, and found his |
|
master lying on the floor, at the foot of the
bed, in a senseless state, there being a severe wound on the left side of his |
|
throat, from which blood was copiously flowing.
The servant forthwith left the room, for the purpose of obtaining surgical |
|
aid, and by a fortunate presence of mind spared
Lady Webster the pain of witnessing the melancholy sight, as her |
|
|
Ladyship was in the act of entering the
apartment just as he was retiring from it. No time was lost, and ere many
minutes |
|
had elapsed several medical gentlemen were in
attendance, and rendered all the assistance in their power. The unfortun- |
|
ate gentleman, according to the position in
which he was discovered, must have got up from his bed to commit the rash |
|
act. Various statements are afloat in the
West-end on the subject, which, out of respect to members of the family, we
do |
|
not insert, as an inquest will be held on the
body this day, when the truth will be elucidated. [The inquest jury returned
a |
|
verdict "that the deceased...died from the
effects of wounds inflicted on himself while labouring under temporary
insanity"] |
|
From
the moment of the medical gentlemen being called in Sir Henry gradually
lingered up to twelve o'clock on Monday, |
|
when he breathed his last. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir Henry Webster's untimely end will be
regretted by a numerous circle, as well as by many of the military
profession, of |
|
which, for years, he was a distinguished and a
hard-working member, indeed one who so noble braved the storms and |
|
|
dangers of Portugal, Spain, Holland, Belgium,
France, and lastly those of the ever-memorable battle of Waterloo, deserved |
|
a
better fate. He was born in 1794, being the second son of the late Sir
Godfrey Vassall [Webster], Bart., and brother to |
|
the
present holder of that title, with which is connected the celebrated Battle
Abbey, Sussex. His mother was the late |
|
Lady Holland, a lady who, in the fashionable
world, gained much distinction. She was the daughter and heiress of Richard |
|
Vassal, Esq., of the island of Jamaica, and
married Sir Godfrey in 1786. The marriage was dissolved in 1799, by Act of |
|
|
Parliament, and in the same year she married
Lord Holland. Sir Henry entered the army in 1810, being then twenty years of |
|
age
[sic]. In 1831 he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, but since
he attained his majority in 1826 [i.e. |
|
became a Major], would appear to have been on
the unattached list. In 1815 he was nominated a Knight of William of the |
|
Netherlands. This honour, it appears, was
conferred in consideration of the services which he rendered while acting as |
|
Aide-de-Camp
to the Prince of Orange at Waterloo. In 1832 he was nominated a Knight
Commander of the Tower and |
|
Sword of Portugal, and in 1835 received the
Orders of that of St. Bento d'Avia. In 1843 he received the only English
title |
|
which he held, that of a Knight Bachelor by
patent. He was decorated with a medal for Waterloo, and would of course be |
|
entitled to the Peninsula one, had he lived.
The deceased married some years since, the only daughter and heiress of the |
|
late Samuel Boddington, Esq." |

Sir Hugh served in the Royal Flying Corps and
the Royal Air Force before joining the Indian Civil Service. He later
transferred |
|
to the Indian Political Service and was
Political Agent in Assam, Central India, Baluchistan, the Persian Gulf and
Delhi. His |
|
last role was as Secretary to the Indian
External Affairs Department from which position he retired on Indian
independence |
|
and was subsequently rewarded with a
knighthood. He was killed in a plane crash at London Airport, the cause of
such |
|
crash probably being the combination of
dangerous overloading of the plane and ice on its wings, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'Daily Telegraph' of 29 October 1949
reported:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Investigations were conducted all yesterday at
London Airport in an effort to discover the cause of the crash there just |
|
after 2 a.m. of an American Grumman Mallard
amphibian.......six of the seven people aboard lost their lives. Those killed |
|
were Sir Hugh Weightman, 50, an official of the
Central Mining and Investment Corporation, London [and five others, being |
|
three passengers, the pilot and the radio
officer]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
plane was owned by the Superior Oil Company of Los Angeles and was bound for
Cairo via Rome. The sole survivor |
|
was the co-pilot, Mr Earl Oscar Sivage, 33, an
American living in Egypt, who escaped with superficial injuries. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Describing the crash he said: "We were
going down the runway when the plane started swerving to the left. I found |
|
|
myself standing on my head. My clothes and hair
were on fire when I released my safety belt. I have no idea what went |
|
wrong." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The subsequent inquest was described in 'The
Times' of 29 November 1949:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A verdict of "Accidental Death" in
each case was returned at the resumed inquest at Kilburn yesterday on the
bodies of |
|
the six persons who were killed when an
American Grumman Mallard aircraft crashed at London Airport on October 28 |
|
|
while taking off for Cairo via Rome. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Ezuard Karl Dupker, station operation officer
for K.L.M. (Royal Dutch Airlines), who serviced the aircraft, said he asked |
|
[pilot]
Captain Jordan before the crash whether he wanted the weights and number of
bags for his load-sheet and was |
|
told not to bother. Another K.L.M. Station
operation officer, Edward Robert-Sheppard, said he asked Captain Jordan |
|
|
whether he wanted the baggage weighed in pounds
or kilos, but Captain Jordan said that it did not matter because he had |
|
to take whatever there was. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Oliver Howard, a ground engineer, said there
was frost on the aircraft. Captain Jordan wiped some of it off with his
glove, |
|
but said it did not matter as the ice would
come off with the take-off. The aircraft was de-iced on the engineers' own |
|
initiative for the safety of the aircraft. John
Holden, a navigation officer, said that Captain Jordan asked for his aircraft
to |
|
be de-iced. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The sole survivor, Oscar Earl Sivage, co-pilot
mechanic, said that both engines were replaced in Amsterdam by K.L.M. and |
|
a seven-hour test followed. In London
servicing, but no overhaul, was done. He was quite satisfied at the take-off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Charles Walling, of California, a pilot for
the Superior Oil Company of Los Angeles, owners of the aircraft, said that it
was |
|
over-loaded by roughly 1,500lb. It was his
conviction that the aircraft took off with ice on its wings and that
seriously |
|
destroyed its lifting ability. |
|
|
|
|

Sir Charles Wheatstone [Kt Bach 1868] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following [edited] biography of Sir Charles
Wheatstone appeared in the November 1966 issue of the Australian monthly |
|
magazine
"Parade". It draws an interesting parallel with the case of Dr.
Crippen, the first man to be apprehended by the |
|
use of radio technology, since it commences
with the arrest of John Tawell, the first man to suffer the same fate brought |
|
about by telegraphic means. The biography makes
no mention of Wheatstone's invention of the cipher system which has |
|
become known as the Playfair Cipher, named
after Lord Playfair who popularised its use. Nor does it mention his
pioneering |
|
work in relation to electricity, particularly
"Wheatstone's Bridge." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"On the evening of January 2, 1845, John
Tawell arrived at Slough, on the Great Western Railway, just in time to catch
the |
|
8.15
train to London. He was a portly gentleman of 61 and nothing about his
conservative attire or dignified manner |
|
|
suggested
he had once been transported to New South Wales for forgery or that he had
just poisoned a woman. He had |
|
had a strange career. He had made a fortune as
a druggist in Sydney, advertised the cause of temperance by pouring 600 |
|
gallons of rum into Port Jackson and built a
Quaker chapel in Macquarie St. Now he had entered the last phase of his life. |
|
Leaving the body of his mistress, Sarah Hart,
at Salt Hill, he rushed to catch the train at Slough, believing he could lose |
|
himself in the London crowd before the crime
was discovered. But, despite his knowledge of poisons, Tawell had not kept |
|
abreast of other scientific developments. What
he did not know was that the Great Western Railway Company had chosen |
|
that 17-mile stretch of line to experiment with
Cooke & Wheatstone's electric telegraph. So he stepped out of the train |
|
into the arms of police at Paddington station. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The
trial and execution of John Tawell gave the electric telegraph the boost
needed to convince the public that it was a |
|
practical necessity and not a scientific
plaything. Within a few months telegraph lines were extended so rapidly that
Queen |
|
Victoria's speech at the opening of Parliament
was wired to Southampton and Bristol almost as she delivered it. Until then |
|
the fastest means of communication were
semaphore signals which, on a few key routes, laboriously relayed signals
from |
|
hilltop to hilltop. Useless at night and almost
so in bad weather, they were soon put into the discard by the Wheatstone |
|
telegraph,
whose magnetic needle could spell out 40 words a minute. The whirling arms of
the semaphores, which had |
|
carried news across the country for so long and
had given Londoners the first hint of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar, ceased |
|
operations in 1847, leaving their stone towers
standing like abandoned lighthouses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The
man who accomplished this revolution was Charles Wheatstone, a self-taught
genius who received honours from |
|
every scientific body of the time and yet was
too nervous to give a public lecture. The telegraph was only one of |
|
|
and yet was too nervous to give a public
lecture. The telegraph was only one of Wheatstone's many interests. His work
in |
|
field
of music and sound would have won him renown had he given no thought to
electricity or optics. Although |
|
|
Wheatstone was one of the intellectual giants
of the early Victorian age, he had little interest in money, and thus much of |
|
the profit and a good deal of the credit for
some of his most important inventions went to men with keener commercial |
|
minds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The son of an obscure musician, Charles
Wheatstone was born in 1802 in the quiet West Country town of Gloucester. At |
|
a small grammar school he was taught some
mathematics but no science. Yet he was a natural technician and turned his |
|
skill to the making and repairing of musical
instruments. When his father moved to London as a teacher of piano, flute and |
|
violin, Charles opened a music shop in Pall
Mall. The business languished until the young proprietor announced the
exhibition |
|
of a scientific marvel called the Enchanted
Lyre. People rushed to see the wonder which could play string quartets all by |
|
itself. The mysterious instrument was an
outsize lyre of ancient pattern, suspended from the ceiling by a single stout
wire. |
|
Instead of strings it was fitted with metal
rods. The two horns had open mouths, like trumpets, from which the music |
|
|
issued. Every day the lyre gave three concerts,
each program lasting an hour. An enormous success, both commercially |
|
and artistically, it remained on exhibition for
years, and made Wheatstone's establishment famous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Although the lyre was a mystery to all
who heard it, the explanation, as eventually given by Wheatstone himself, was |
|
simple.
The musicians were in a cellar below the shop. The sounds they produced were
carried in a series of vibrations |
|
along a metal conductor to the lyre, which
acted as a sounding board. In effect, Wheatstone had produced the world's |
|
first microphone. Rudimentary as it was, the
Enchanted Lyre has an important place in the story of sound reproduction. |
|
Among Wheatstone's most important gifts to
music were the portable harmonium and the English concertina, now better |
|
known as a
piano-accordion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"While he was improving the range and
compass of many musical instruments, he was also gaining a reputation in
scientific |
|
circles. In 1831, at the age of 29, he
astounded the savants by calculating the velocity of electricity. The
apparatus he |
|
devised for this momentous demonstration is
still on view in King's College museum, London. Its main component is a
mirror |
|
geared
to revolve so fast so that electric sparks are reflected as continuous
lines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In
1834 Wheatstone was appointed professor of experimental physics at king's
College. Although much of his most |
|
|
important work was carried on in the college
laboratory, he was not a success as a teacher. Too diffident to address the |
|
students, he was often forced to write his
lectures and give them to his friend, Professor Michael Faraday, to deliver.
A |
|
bewildered
student once protested that a statement made by Faraday contradicted what he
had said the previous |
|
|
Thursday. "Possibly," said Faraday
dryly, "but I was Professor Wheatstone last Thursday." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In the 1830s Wheatstone was one of
several scientists who in various countries were investigating the
transmission of |
|
messages
by electricity. In 1833 Carl Friedrich Gauss, German pioneer of
electro-magnetism, set up a telegraph line |
|
|
between Gottingen Observatory and his house a
mile away. He transmitted intelligible signals but his apparatus, the pointer |
|
of which weighed 56 pounds, proved too slow and
clumsy to be practical. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Samuel Morse |
|
was working on the problem of
telecommunication. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wheatstone's telegraph was based on the
fact that an electric current switched on and off will move a magnetised
needle |
|
suspended nearby. In its original form the
Wheatstone instrument had a wire and a needle for every letter of the
alphabet. |
|
But the inventor speedily realised that far
fewer wires, together with a skilfully designed dial, would provide enough |
|
|
combinations
for ordinary messages. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"While he was working on this, Wheatstone
was visited by William Fothergill Cooke [1806-1879, Kt Bach 1869], a former |
|
army engineer who had become interested in the
electric telegraph while studying in Germany. He asked Wheatstone for an |
|
opinion on an instrument he had designed. When
told that it would not function, he hurled his plans to the floor and angrily |
|
declared that he had wasted two years of his
life. Persuading him not to despair, Wheatstone offered help. At that Cooke |
|
explained that he was only interested in the
telegraph as a means of making money and suggested they pool their |
|
|
knowledge. Wheatstone was concerned solely with
the scientific aspects of the telegraph and could not afford to take out |
|
international
patent rights. He had no idea how to exploit the invention. Cooke, on the
other hand, was an intensely |
|
|
practical man, well able to find his way about
the jungles of finance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The pair entered into a partnership and
the telegraph was first tried out on July 5, 1833, over a mile and a half of
line |
|
between Euston station and Camden Town, London.
The instruments functioned perfectly, the letters registering on the |
|
dials being quickly read, even when the range
of the experiment was extended to Slough. But the public remained |
|
|
apathetic. The murder of Sarah Hart caused a
sensation and focused attention on the mysterious electric device. Thanks |
|
to the villainous John Tawell, the rise of the
telegraph system became one of the phenomena of the period. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The Cooke-Wheatstone partnership was an
uneasy one. Disregarding his agreement with Wheatstone, Cooke entered his |
|
his own name first on all documents connected
with the telegraph and invariably declared that he was the real inventor. |
|
Commercially, however, Cooke was an able man,
and although he and Wheatstone quarrelled bitterly in private, they |
|
|
presented a united front to the world. Their
partnership was not wound up until they sold their rights to the Electric |
|
|
Telegraph Company for £140,000. By 1885 more
than 20,000 Wheatstone instruments were in use in Britain. From then on |
|
they were gradually superseded by the Morse
system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Charles Wheatstone also made the first
stereoscopic viewer and pioneered stereoscopic photography. Also, to demon- |
|
strate he could explode underwater charges by
electricity, he blew up the sunken hull of the old Royal George, which had |
|
Royal George, which had capsized off Spithead
80 years before [29 August 1782]. Although his inventions ranged from a |
|
a combination fiddle and accordion to a means
of detecting the 200-millionth part of a grain of sodium in a metallic flame, |
|
he seldom spoke about his work. He was knighted
in 1868, and died in 1875 at the age of 73." |

White [Kt Bach 1912] |

In normal circumstances, my focus on members of
the Knightage would be limited to the various knights themselves, and |
|
would not extend to knights'
wives/widows/children, unless such family members earned a note regarding the
facts |
|
|
surrounding them. It would seem to me that
being murdered qualifies one for the right to a note, and this is precisely
what |
|
happened in the case of Lady White, widow of
Sir Edward White. The report below (one of an extremely large number at |
|
the time) appeared in the Gloucester
"Citizen" on 15 March 1922:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'[Sophie]
Lady White, the widow of Sir Edward White, at one time Chairman of the London
County Council, was found in a |
|
dying condition on Tuesday at the Spencer
Hotel, Portman-street, London, having been brutally attacked in mysterious |
|
circumstances while in bed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady
White, who is between 50 and 60 years of age [other sources say 65], formerly
lived at Upper Berkeley-street, and |
|
had a bedroom at the hotel, which is really
four inter-communicating houses in Portman-street. On Monday night she went |
|
to
be about 11 p.m., after spending the
evening playing bridge with other ladies at the hotel. She was then in
good |
|
|
health, and no unusual sound was heard during
the night, but between 8.15 and 8.30 on Tuesday morning the chamber- |
|
maid
made the discovery that Lady White was lying unconscious in bed with her face
and the pillow covered in blood. A |
|
doctor was at once summoned, and found that
there was a scalp wound on the left side of the head. So much force had |
|
been
used that the skull was not only fractured, but a portion of the brain was
protruding. The wound could not have |
|
been self-inflicted, and had apparently been
caused by a blunt instrument. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
blinds of the bedroom were down and Lady White had retired for the night
before she was attacked. So far as can be |
|
ascertained nothing is missing from the room,
and no weapon was found. The night porter heard nothing nor saw anyone |
|
moving about during the night. There are only
two exits from the hotel, the street doors of two of the houses having been |
|
blocked up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
crime seems absolutely motiveless except on the assumption that Lady White
awoke and disturbed a burglar who had |
|
entered her room. A bruise on her left arm
rather suggests that she raised her arm in order to ward off a blow. If the |
|
|
assailant
was a burglar, the mystery is how he got into the hotel without being seen.
Although the closest inquiry has |
|
been made, there is nothing to suggest that any
of the guests staying at the hotel could have been guilty of the attack.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within
a week police had arrested one Henry Julius [Harry] Jacoby, the 18-year-old
pantry boy at the hotel. Jacoby was |
|
tried
at the Old Bailey and, on 5 May 1922, was found guilty of the murder of Lady
White and sentenced to death, as |
|
as reported in the "Tamworth Herald"
on 6 May 1922:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
eighteen-year-old pantry-boy, Henry Jacoby, was at the Old Bailey, on Friday,
found guilty of the murder of Lady |
|
White at the Hotel Spencer, Portman-street,
during the night of March 13th-14th. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
jury added to their verdict a strong recommendation to mercy on the ground of
the prisoner's youth, and the fact |
|
that
they did not believe he went to Lady White's room intending to kill, but for
the purpose of robbery. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
a statement to the police, Jacoby described how he went to Lady White's room
to steal money. She awoke, shrieked, |
|
and he struck herb two blows with a workman's
hammer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Jacoby,
in the box, said that on March 13th he felt queer all day. He went to bed
about 11, but got up at 1.20 to go to |
|
the lavatory, and on passing the kitchen heard
the murmur of voices like two men speaking together. He told the night |
|
porter, and they searched the basement. The
porter thought there burglars, and took a poker to defend himself. They |
|
could find nothing, but on returning to his
room he thought he heard the voices again, and decided to have another look |
|
round. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Fior (defending counsel): "Had you any intention then of stealing any
money, or doing anyone any harm?" - "No." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I armed myself with a hammer,"
continued Jacoby, "and went upstairs, where the voices seemed to come
[from]. Lady |
|
White's door was partly open, and I thought the
sound came from inside. I rushed in, saw a form, and hit out." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Justice McCardie, in passing sentence, said he would send the recommendation
at once to the Home Secretary. |
|
|
Jacoby received the sentence unmoved.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jacoby appealed his sentence, but his appeal
was dismissed on 22 May 1922. Notwithstanding the jury's recommendation |
|
to mercy, the Home Secretary, Edward Shortt,
refused to interfere, and Jacoby was hanged on 7 June 1922. The hanging |
|
caused a great deal of controversy; at the same
time another man, Ronald True, who had been found guilty of strangling |
|
a prostitute, was reprieved, and it was
suggested that True was treated more leniently because his family were
influential |
|
people. |

Sir Thomas Walter White [KBE 1952] |
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following biography of Sir Thomas White
appeared in the July 1963 issue of the Australian monthly magazine
"Parade":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Most mornings between 1951 and 1956, a
car flying the Australian flag threaded the traffic of The Strand in London, |
|
|
swung
into Aldwych and stopped outside Australia House at 9.30. From it stepped a
genial man in his early sixties, |
|
|
generally immaculate in the orthodox black
jacket, striped trousers and homburg of the diplomat. Nothing about this man, |
|
who was Sir Thomas White, KBE, DFC, FRGS, and
son-in-law of a former Prime Minister, Alfred Deakin, suggested he had |
|
once disguised himself as a Turk and lived a
cloak-and-dagger life in Constantinople. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Here is how it came about: Late in
November 1918 two unshaven, shabby young men arrived in Sofia, capital of
Bulgaria. |
|
Bulgaria had been knocked out of the war on
September 30, and Sofia was thronged with Allied troops and refugees from |
|
all over the Balkans. Carrying swags like
Australian sundowners the two newcomers pushed through the crowds until they |
|
located British headquarters. There they had
great difficulty in convincing anyone that they were Allied airmen who had |
|
spent
three years as prisoners of the Turks. One was Captain A[lan] J[ohn] Bott
[1893-1952], of the Royal Flying Corps. |
|
The
other, who wore a ragged oversize coat and a white waistcoat adorned with
bilious green checks, was Thomas W. |
|
White, of Melbourne. Known as
"Australia" White to his fellow officers, he was a member of the
Mesopotamian Expeditionary |
|
Force which set out from the Persian Gulf in
1915 in an ill-starred attempt to capture Baghdad. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"His nickname was prophetic. More than
three decades later he rounded off a brilliant career by representing his
county in |
|
England
as one of the most popular High Commissioners Australia has had. But in 1915
the odds against him ever seeing |
|
Australia again were astronomical. On Friday,
November 13 [1915], he and his observer, Captain [Francis] Yeats-Brown |
|
[1886-1944],
of the Bengal Lancers, volunteered to land behind the Turkish positions and
destroy the telegraph line |
|
|
Baghdad and Mosul. That night the
Commander-in-Chief, General Sir John Nixon, was told they had not returned.
Three |
|
years were to
pass before either of them showed up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Thomas Walter White was born in 1888, the
son of a Melbourne timber merchant. When the universal military training |
|
|
scheme
was established by the Fisher Government in 1910 he joined the Citizen Forces
as a volunteer, and at the outbreak |
|
the outbreak of World War I was a captain in
the 60th Battalion. He enlisted in the AIF [Australian Imperial Force] and
soon |
|
after seized the opportunity to transfer from
the infantry to the Australian Flying Corps, which at that time existed only
on |
|
paper. He was one of the first four officers to
enter the flying school at Point Cook [near Melbourne], recently established |
|
under
the command of Captain [Henry Aloysius] Petre [1884-1962], an RFC officer.
The only aircraft at the school were |
|
two BE biplanes and a "box kite."
These primitive open-fuselage machines were without dual control and their
instruments |
|
were limited to a barometer. Their speed was so
low that they were liable to fly backwards if caught in a strong wind. Thus |
|
instruction was usually held at dawn or sunset
when the air was still. Nevertheless, White won his wings - only to be sent |
|
back to the infantry because there was still no
air force. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In February 1915 the Australian
Government was requested to provide four pilots and 50 men to serve with the
army in |
|
Mesopotamia. Captain Petre selected White,
together with Lieutenants [George Pinnock] Merz [1891-1915, the first |
|
|
Australian airman to perish in WW1], [D.T.W.]
Manwell and Williams (afterwards Air-Marshall [Sir Richard] Williams). Petre |
|
went ahead, leaving White to recruit the
remaining personnel and bring them to Basra, on the Persian Gulf. After
collecting |
|
NCOs
and mechanics from the AIF training camp at Broadmeadows [10 miles north of
Melbourne], White finally reached |
|
Basra, where they found the job lot of
secondhand aircraft provided by the Indian Government unsuitable and
unreliable. |
|
They
had no machine-guns and an average of five engine failures for every 2000
miles flown was not uncommon. Yet in |
|
such planes the first Australian airmen went
into action, armed only with rifles and grenades. Usually the pilots were |
|
|
employed on reconnaissance work. They always
considered themselves lucky to return from a mission, for a forced landing |
|
meant
certain death at the hands of marauding Arabs who roamed Mesopotamia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The British were within 70 miles of
Baghdad when White and Yeats-Brown flew off to cut the telegraph line running
north- |
|
west from the city. As their plane was capable
of barely three hours' flying time at 50 mph, they stripped it of all super- |
|
fluous weight in order to carry extra fuel.
Soon after taking off they became the first men in the Mesopotamia force to
see |
|
the city which was their target. But their map
was inaccurate. It showed the telegraph line running several miles off the |
|
main road whereas both followed the same route.
Searching for a place where the line could be cut without interruption, |
|
White cruised about until the fuel ran low.
When he put the plane down in what appeared to be a reasonably safe spot, an |
|
unexpected gust of wind dashed the flimsy
machine against a telegraph pole and wrecked a wing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The
two men were busily blowing up telegraph poles with gun-cotton when a furious
horde of Arabs armed with daggers |
|
and swords suddenly descended on them. White
and his comrade put up a bold resistance, but were wounded and would |
|
certainly
have been murdered but for the arrival of a party of Turkish military police,
who put them in a cart and drove |
|
them to Baghdad. They were followed by a
screaming mob of Arabs, whose sheik claimed them as his prisoners and wanted |
|
hold them to ransom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"After a spell in hospital, where they
were well treated, the two men were clapped into solitary confinement to
force them |
|
to give military information. When this failed
they were sent to Mosul, 300 miles north, where they had their first glimpse |
|
of
Turkish brutality. Later White was taken to Aleppo and finally to Afyon
Karahissar, in Asia Minor [in western Turkey, 150 |
|
miles south-west of Ankara]. There the prison
camp was under the command of Musloum Bey, a man with few human |
|
|
feelings who had formerly held the job of
personal assassin to Enver Pasha, leader of the Young Turk Party. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Meanwhile,
the badly prepared invasion of Mesopotamia came to a catastrophic halt when
General [Sir Charles Vere |
|
|
Ferrers] Townshend was trapped in Kut-el-amara
with 13,000 troops, mostly Indians. Forced by starvation and disease to |
|
surrender, the survivors had to march nearly
1000 miles to Afyon Karahissar. [Unfortunately these survivors did not
include |
|
my great-uncle William Charles Rayment who is
buried in the Baghdad War Cemetery]. The prison camp became a place of |
|
under
Musloum Bey, mitigated only by parcels sent by the American Embassy at
Constantinople and the Red Cross. Even |
|
then most of the parcels were delivered only
after the Turks had stolen the pick of the contents. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"By 1917 the end of the war seemed farther
off than ever and White felt he must either escape from Afyon Karahissar or |
|
die there. He had learned to speak Turkish
reasonably well though with a baffling accent, but even with this advantage |
|
escape from the middle of Asia Minor seemed
impossible. The brutalities of Musloum Bey became so notorious that even the |
|
Turkish Government took notice, only to see him
bribe his way out of a court of inquiry. During the inquiry conditions were |
|
relaxed sufficiently to allow White to persuade
Turkish doctors that he was seriously ill and should be sent to Constantin- |
|
ople for treatment. He left Afyon Karahissar in
July 1918 for Scutari [now Üsküdar], opposite Constantinople, on the Asiatic |
|
shore of the Bosphorus. He was admitted to the
hospital made famous by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It did not take the doctors long to find
nothing wrong with him, but three years as a prisoner of war had made White a |
|
master of bluff. After learning that the
hospital did not possess the necessary equipment, he demanded an X-ray
examin- |
|
ation. The Scutari medicos ordered him removed
to a hospital on the European side of the Bosphorus. The X-ray, of course, |
|
revealed nothing and White faced the unpleasant
prospect of being returned to Afyon Karahissar. But luck was with him on |
|
the way back. The suburban train he was on for
the first stage of the trip crashed into some trucks. The Turks panicked, |
|
so
White from the carriage and plunged into a labyrinth of streets and alleys,
where he found temporary sanctuary in a |
|
house occupied by Turk-hating Greeks. Later he
acquired a fez and other clothing which enabled him to pass as a Turk. In |
|
this guise he lived an underground existence in
Constantinople, expecting to be arrested and shot as a spy at any moment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"He met Captain Bott during this period.
Through the agency of a mysterious Russian, the two escapees secured a
passage |
|
in
the steamer Batoun, which was running contraband across the Black Sea to
Odessa. But it lay in the Golden Horn for |
|
over a month while the ship's company held
nightly orgies. White and Bott lived on bread and cheese, spent most of their |
|
time concealed in the ballast tanks, where the
atmosphere was so foul that matches would scarcely stay alight. When at |
|
last
the ships reached Odessa they were confronted by more problems. As the chief
port of the newly formed but |
|
|
temporary Republic of the Ukraine, it was in a
state of complete confusion. White's money, carefully hoarded out of the |
|
pittance
paid as a prisoner of the Turks, was running out. He bought a forged passport
from a Russian refugee and, as |
|
Serge Feodorovich Davidoff went to work in a
tannery. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"With the combined aid of the Dutch
Consulate, an English internee and a Russian merchant service captain, White
and |
|
Bott eventually left Odessa in a Ukrainian
hospital ship and disembarked at Varna in Bulgaria. The Armistice was
declared a |
|
week later, so they headed for Sofia. A few
days afterwards, still in the rags in which they had escaped, they were the |
|
guests of Air Marshall Sir John Salmond in
Salonica. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Captain Yeats-Brown, who also escaped,
wrote a once-famous book called "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer." But
no Bengal |
|
lancer lived more lives than Thomas White,
author of "Guests of the Unspeakable," founder of the Australian
Aero Club and |
|
the Australian Musical Society, and - as Lieut.
Colonel White, commanding officer of the Royal Melbourne Regiment. He was |
|
a Federal parliamentarian for 10 years before
World War II [and for nearly 22 years in total] and was Minister for Customs. |
|
Although
more than 50 in 1939, he donned uniform again and went overseas as a
group-captain to take command of an |
|
RAAF base in the south of England [at
Brighton]. After the war he rejoined the Cabinet as Minister for Air and
Civil Aviation |
|
but gave up this post to become High
Commissioner. He was knighted in 1952. He returned to Australia in 1956, a
year |
|
before he died at the age of 69." |

appeared in the May 1956 issue of the Australian monthly magazine |

"Rare botanical specimens for Her
Britannic Majesty's Royal Gardens at Kew." The fat little Brazilian
Customs chief in the |
|
port
of Belem fanned himself with a palm leaf and pondered the document
doubtfully. It would not do to offend Her |
|
|
Britannic Majesty without due cause. He
shrugged and scrawled his name at the foot of the paper. When the little
British |
|
steamer butted out of the Amazon River into the
Atlantic that day in 1876, the English explorer Henry Wickham had staged |
|
one of the most remarkable smuggling coups in
history. Hidden in banana-leaf baskets in the ship's hold were 70,000 seeds |
|
of the jealously guarded Amazon trees that
provided three-quarters of the world's rubber. They were to found the great |
|
plantations of the East, and make possible the
giant development of the modern rubber industry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Europeans had never heard of rubber till
the first Spanish explorers turned fire and sword loose in South America. In |
|
|
Mexico, they found the Indians playing ball
games with "spheres made of the juice of a certain herb which bound
incredibly |
|
in the air." The Indians also used rubber
to coat water bottles and waterproof their sandals. The gold-greedy
Spaniards, |
|
however, paid little attention to the strange
product. For more than 200 years rubber was ignored. Then, in 1736, the |
|
French explorer De la Condamine made his epic
journey up the Amazon and across the Andes to the Pacific. The black, |
|
resilient lumps of rubber he brought back
stirred scientific curiosity throughout Europe. Twenty years later, the
Governor- |
|
General of Brazil sent a suit of rubber clothes
to his lord, the King of Portugal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Before 1800, the British scientist,
Joseph Priestley, and the Frenchmen, Grossart and Fourcroy, were all
experimenting to |
|
find industrial uses for rubber. The great boom
began in the 1820s when a Soho coachbuilder, Thomas Hancock, built the |
|
first factory to make rubber belts, braces and
coach fittings. In 1839 the American, Charles Goodyear, discovered how to |
|
mould rubber by vulcanisation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In 1825, only 30 tons of raw rubber was
exported from Brazil. The rubber tree, Hevea
Brasiliensis, that flourished in the |
|
sweltering American jungles was virtually the
only source of the world's supply. With the increasing demand from Britain |
|
and America, the Amazon rubber traffic
developed into a hideous orgy of exploitation. Slavery was still legal in
Brazil. The |
|
infant
rubber trade flourished and waxed fat on the blood and suffering of the
primitive Indians. Thousands or men, women |
|
and
children were torn from their homes and set to work tapping the precious
milky-white fluid from the rubber trees. |
|
|
Smoke
houses lined the riverbanks, where the Indians converted the latex into
rubber by turning it slowly on wooden |
|
|
paddles over fires of palm nuts. Loaded with
the smoked rubber, the boats of the rubber traders floated down the Amazon |
|
to Santarem or Belem, where the foreign agents
gathered to chaffer and deal over their whisky bottles in the stifling heat |
|
of the mud-walled warehouses. Uncounted numbers
of the wretched Indian serfs died from malaria, yellow fever and |
|
|
dysentery. Others were flogged to death or
mutilated when they tried to escape from their masters into the trackless |
|

"Despite this ferocious exploitation, the
world was clamouring for more rubber. By 1854, the price had soared to nearly
3/- |
|
a pound. New sources of supply were desperately
needed. Britain, the workshop of the world, led the way. Thomas |
|
|
Hancock demanded the establishment of
plantations in the British colonies. He was supported by the great botanist
of Kew |
|
Gardens, Sir Joseph Hooker, and by Sir Clements
Markham of the India Office. Markham had already successfully trans- |
|
planted
the Peruvian cinchona tree, the source of quinine, to the British East. He
saw no reason why the rubber tree |
|
|
should not flourish equally in Malaya and
India. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"There was, however, one very powerful
reason. The Brazilian Government jealously guarded its rubber monopoly. The
only |
|
The only way to get the vital seeds of Hevea Brasiliensis out of the
Amazon was to steal and smuggle them. In 1873, a |
|
man named Farris delivered 2000 seeds to Kew,
but they failed to germinate. The India Office then began to heed the |
|
letters written by a rnysterious and voluble
Briton named Henry Alexander Wickham, who had buried himself for years in the |
|
heart of
the Amazon jungle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wickham had been born on May 29, 1846,
into a wealthy City family. Scarcely out of his teens, he set out to wander |
|
through South America on foot or by canoe.
After crossing Venezuela and exploring the upper reaches of the Orinoco
River, |
|
Wickham
pushed south into the vast, matted wilderness of the Amazon Valley. He lived
in Indian huts, and listened |
|
|
appalled to their horrifying stories of the
bloodstained rubber traffic. By 1873, Wickham had carved out his own rubber |
|
estate on the Tapajos River, a wide,
alligator-infested stream that flows down to join the Amazon at Satarem. He
refused |
|
to employ Indians, and slaved at tapping and
smoking the rubber himself. Wickham was convinced that the odious Brazilian |
|
monopoly could be broken. He dreamt of lifting
the rubber trade out of the fever-ridden swamps of the Amazon into clean, |
|
healthy, well-ordered plantations. He wrote
long and fervid appeals to the British Government. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"At last, in 1876 he received his answer.
The India Office offered him £10 for every 1000 rubber seeds he delivered in |
|
|
Britain. How he got them out of Brazil was his
own business. Wickham was at Santarem when the letter reached him. As he |
|
tossed
in the sweltering gloom of his room in the grubby "hotel" debating
how to proceed, an incredible stroke of luck |
|
|
brought a British seaman, Captain Murray, of
Liverpool, to him. Murray's ship, the steamer Amazonas, was anchored in the |
|
river. Her supercargoes had deserted. She had
no cargo to take back to Liverpool. Risking money and liberty on the plunge, |
|
Wickham
promptly chartered her on behalf of the India Office. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Telling Murray to wait for one month at
Santarem, Wickham set out to obtain his precious shipment of rubber seeds.
With |
|
a small band of picked Indians and a flotilla
of canoes, he paddled up the Tapajos River to an area he knew was rich in |
|
virgin trees. The wild Tapuyo Indians, who
would have murdered any other white man at sight, helped his party collect
the |
|
seeds. The native girls packed them carefully
between layers of banana leaves in baskets of split cane. By the end of May, |
|
Wickham was back at Santarem with no fewer than
70,000 of the smooth, brown, mottled seeds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"There now remained the problem of getting
them past the suspicious Brazilian port officials at Belem, on the mouth of
the |
|
Amazon. Wickham knew what discovery would mean.
He would probably be flung into prison. He had involved the British |
|
Government by chartering the ship in the name
of the India Office, but he had been warned that he could expect no help |
|
from Whitehall. Again good luck was with him.
When the Amazonas reached Belem, he personally interviewed the Port |
|
|
Officer. Grandly he produced a carefully-worded
document claiming he was taking out only "rare botanical specimens"
for |
|
the Royal Gardens. The name of Her Britannic
Majesty Queen Victoria and her powerful Government was not to be trifled |
|
with. Wickham himself, with his confident
voice, great physique and enormous, curling moustache, was an imposing
figure. |
|
The Brazilian officer was overawed. Her papers
in order, and the seed-baskets carefully stowed in the hold, the Amazonas |
|
steamed safely out of the huge river on her way
to Britain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"On June 13, 1876, she docked at
Liverpool. Wickham flashed a triumphant telegram to Sir Joseph Hooker at Kew
Gardens. |
|
Visiting royalty could not have been greeted
with greater preparations and rejoicings. A special train was sent to bring |
|
Wickham and his precious freight to London. For
24 hours, right through the summer's night, a team of gardeners worked |
|
at Kew to receive the seeds. Every orchid and
rare tropical plant was cleared out of the vast £1,000,000 hot house - the |
|
biggest
in the world - to make room for the seed beds. By the morning of June 15 all
70,000 seeds were planted in beds of |
|
loam, leaf mould and sand. Wickham,
"striding round the gardens as if he owned them," personally
supervised the work. |
|
Within a few months it was evident that the
grand coup had succeeded. Only 4,000 of the 70,000 seeds germinated, but |
|
they were sufficient to found the
rubber-growing industries of the East. Their descendants are still
flourishing on the |
|
|
plantations of Malaya and the Indies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Late in 1876, nearly 2000 of the young
seedlings were sent to Peradiniya Botanical Gardens in Ceylon. From there,
some |
|
were transplanted to Singapore. By the early
1880s the seedlings were being distributed to plantation owners in Ceylon and |
|
Malaya. Nevertheless, the development of
plantation rubber was slow for some years. Wild rubber from Brazil still
brought |
|
the
highest price. Many believed that a flood of plantation rubber would cause a
collapse in the world market. Tea |
|
|
remained the staple crop of Ceylon. In Malaya,
the efforts of Henry Ridley [1855-1956], chief of the Singapore Botanical |
|
Gardens, induced some planters to cultivate
rubber on their coffee and sugar estates. In 1900, the plantations produced |
|
only 1000 tons of rubber, compared with 40,000
from Brazil. The development of the automobile industry then touched off |
|
a
boom that sent the plantation output soaring to 320,000 tons by 1920, and
spread rubber estates all over the East |
|
Indies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wickham, detested in Brazil as a
"buccaneer" and smuggler, had lived to see his dream come true. The
last years of his |
|
life
were spent roaming the world. He held the posts of Inspector of Forests in
India and Police Inspector in British |
|
|
Honduras. He travelled widely in Central
America, Australia, New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. In 1911, the
associations |
|
of rubber planters granted him a gift of 1000
guineas and an annuity for life. In 1920, he was knighted. From then on he |
|
mainly in retirement in London. On September
27, 1928, Sir Henry Wickham died." |

This biography of Sir William Wilde, father of
Oscar Wilde, appeared in the July 1959 issue of the Australian monthly |

magazine "Parade":- |

"The
crime in the doctor's surgery! Read all about it!" bawled the half dozen
ragged news-boys who erupted into the |
|
|
Abbey Street Hall, Dublin, one summer evening
in 1864. The lecturer, bearded Sir William Wilde, stopped in confusion as |
|
the boys began hawking their pamphlets through
the hall. Sir William's erudite lecture on Irish history was forgotten in the |
|
gasps of the fashionable audience. The scandal
that had so long hung over the head of Ireland's most famous eye surgeon |
|
had broken in a woman's vengeance. Like his
famous son, Oscar, after him, Sir William Wilde was to end a brilliant career |
|
in disgrace
and obscurity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oscar Wilde's dazzling notoriety has
relegated his father to the shadows of history. In his own day, however, Sir
William |
|
Wilde was one of the most famous figures on the
Irish medical scientific and literary scene. He was acknowledged the |
|
|
greatest eye surgeon of his generation. His
books made medical history. His patients included a Royal Princess. He was |
|
Surgeon Oculist to the Queen in Ireland. It was
Sir William Wilde's reckless amours, however, that brought him down in ruin. |
|
Ugly, shambling and slovenly, he still had a
way with women. His love affairs were the scandal of Dublin. When, finally,
one |
|
of his vengeful victims dragged his escapades
into court his name and fortune were blasted beyond repair. He died, still in |
|
disgrace, just as his butterfly son Oscar was
making his first conquests in the salons of London. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"William Robert Wilde was born in Co.
Roscommon in 1815. His father, a prosperous doctor, sent William to study
medicine |
|
at Stevens' Hospital in Dublin. The cholera
epidemic that swept southern Ireland in the 1830s gave Wilde his first
chance. |
|
As a volunteer doctor, he travelled hundreds of
miles on horseback among the plague-haunted mud cabins of the |
|
|
peasantry. He escaped the fever by soaking
himself with brandy and porter, acquiring a habit of hard drinking that never |
|
left him. In Dublin, where he obtained his
surgeon's degree in 1837, he was quickly regarded as the most promising young |
|
promising young doctor of the day. This led a
rich and eccentric merchant to take Wilde with him as "private
physician" on |
|
a nine months' yacht cruise in the
Mediterranean. Wilde turned the tour to profit by writing a travel book that
sold 2000 |
|
copies
and brought him £250. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"With
the money he studied in London, Berlin and Vienna. In 1841, he returned to
Dublin and set up an eye clinic in a |
|
|
disused, rat-infested warehouse in the slums.
At that stage in his career, Wilde cared little for money. He wanted |
|
|
experience in his chosen field. He refused to
accept payment from the poorer patients who flocked to him. Soon they were |
|
coming from all parts of Ireland. In time, the
fame of shabby, genial little Dr. Wilde spread into the aristocratic Dublin |
|
|
quarters round Merrion Square. Fine carriages
with liveried servants clattered over the muddy cobbles to the little slum |
|
clinic. Wilde charged his wealthy patients
enormous fees to make up for his free services to the poor. With the surplus
he |
|
rented an old hospital
in St. Martin's Lane. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"By 1845, Wilde was recognised as the
leading eye surgeon in Ireland. From his big house in Westland Row poured
medical |
|
pamphlets and treatises that helped to
revolutionise the primitive eye surgery that mutilated and disfigured
thousands of |
|
sufferers
in the past. Medical science, however, was only one of Wilde's interests. He
had two others of strangely |
|
|
contrasting
types - one harmless and scholarly, the other so disreputable that Dublin
matrons would only mention his |
|
|
name in
horrified whispers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wilde was a fervent Irish nationalist,
with a passion for Irish history and archaeology. He wandered Ireland,
digging up old |
|
coins, surveying prehistoric villages, ancient
castles and burial mounds, and writing learned articles about them. When not |
|
engaged
in examining eyes or tumuli, however, he was employing the arts of seduction
far and wide among women |
|
|
patients, friends and casual
"lights-of-love" in Dublin. Wilde had few outward attractions to
ensnare the fair sex. One |
|
|
acquaintance described him as a "miserable
looking little creature, unkempt and unshorn, who looked as if he'd been
rolling |
|
in the dust." Another candid friend called
him a hairy little monkey. Wilde was short, bow-legged, with a straggling
beard |
|
and
an untidy mane of hair. His clothes were slovenly. His breath frequently
reeked of brandy. As a counterbalance, he |
|
had a brilliant mind, conversational wit and
charm and a gift of Irish blarney that went straight to a woman's heart.
Before |
|
he was 30 he had several illegitimate children.
He was an indulgent father and always provided for their education and |
|
upbringing.
Victims of his far-flung gallantries ranged from serving maids to the
daughters of substantial citizens who |
|
|
visited him
as patients. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"At first scandal whispered only in
corners. Outwardly, Dr. Wilde was rich, famous and respected. About 1846 came
his |
|
first meeting with Ireland's most flamboyant
woman, Jane Francesca Elgee, 20-years-old poet and fiery rebel, whose |
|
|
writings under the name of "Speranza"
infuriated British officialdom in Dublin Castle. "Speranza" was the
centre of the |
|
|
ardent young coterie who published the
"seditious" journal, the Nation. She too was fascinated by the
charm of "Doctor |
|
Willie" and, according to some, became his
mistress. This may be true, as Wilde was notoriously not the marrying kind.
He |
|
had, indeed, once proposed to the Shakespearean
actress Helen Faucit [1817-1898, later the wife of Sir Theodore Martin] |
|
and been rejected. Since then, his relations
with women had been entirely unconventional. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In 1848, the Nation was suppressed.
"Speranza's" political enthusiasm began to wane. She was seen more
and more with |
|
Dr. Wilde. On November 12, 1851, to the
astonishment of Dublin, they married. After a honeymoon in Europe, where
Wilde |
|
collected honorary degrees from several
universities they returned to set up house in Dublin's Merrion Square. The
square, |
|
with
its fine old Georgian mansions, was the social and artistic centre of Dublin.
The Wilde house was the heart of this |
|
little world. The novelists Charles Lever and
Sheridan le Fanu, the poet Samuel Ferguson, the chief of the Irish party in |
|
Westminster,
Isaac Butt, led the throng that flocked there to indulge in torrents of
treasonable talk and the doctor's |
|
|
famous brandy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wilde's professional reputation was then
at its zenith. He had published several volumes that stood as medical
textbooks |
|
for nearly 50 years. He was called in to treat
one of Queen Victoria's daughters, when no other eye surgeon would handle |
|
the delicate case. His patients included
Bernard Shaw's father, whom he treated for a squint, "so
successfully," said Shaw |
|
years later, "that my father squinted in
the opposite direction for the rest of his life." Marriage, wealth and
fame, however, |
|
made no difference to Wilde's amorous
adventures. "Speranza" accepted with resignation, and eventual
indifference, the |
|
unsavoury gossip that
gathered round his name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In
1854, began the liaison that was to ruin him. This time, the victim was Mary
Travers, 19-years-old green-eyed |
|
|
daughter of a Professor of Medicine at Trinity
College. In the sensational court case 10 years later, Mary claimed that |
|
|
Wilde seduced her in the surgery while he was
treating her eyes. In any case, they were soon appearing openly together, |
|
at
theatres, concerts and on archaeological expeditions in the country. Wilde
lavished gifts of jewellery on her, dresses |
|
and even "warm winter underclothing."
Mary frequently visited Merrion Square, where "Speranza" received
her with unfailing |
|
dignity. Most of "Willie's" amours
were brief, and ended in the mistress being pensioned off with provision for
the children. |
|
Mary Travers enjoyed an unusually long reign in
his favour. Wilde was to be sadly disillusioned when he tried to repeat the |
|
usual arrangement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"By the early 1860s, Wilde was tiring of
Mary, and trying to get rid of her. After hysterical scenes, he gave her £100
on |
|
the understanding that she go to Liverpool and
take ship to Australia. Mary got as far as Liverpool, but refused to go any |
|
further. Wilde followed her. His persuasions
were in vain. She threatened to take poison or throw herself in the sea. They |
|
returned together to Dublin, where Wilde told
her bluntly he would never see her again. Maddened by his neglect, Mary |
|
bombarded Merrion Square with abusive letters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Early in 1864, when Wilde was knighted by
the Lord Lieutenant in Dublin Castle, she renewed her campaign with extra |
|
venom. She hired newsboys to hawk scurrilous
pamphlets round the audience whenever Sir William appeared on a lecture |
|
platform. Her journalist friends printed
barely-veiled paragraphs in their newspapers. The whole of Dublin buzzed with
the |
|
scandal. His rich practice was falling off. The
furore was so great that he packed "Speranza" and her two young
sons off |
|
to the country town of Bray until the storm
blew over. Mary followed the family to Bray, took lodgings near them, and |
|
|
engaged
street urchins to shout insults under their windows. At last, even
"Speranza's" resignation gave way. She wrote |
|
to Professor Travers, begging him to restrain
his daughter's insults. The letter forged the weapon of the wronged Mary's |
|
Mary's vengeance. She at once issued a writ for
£2000 damages for libel against Lady Wilde, and named Sir William as co- |
|
defendant. The storm had burst. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The lawsuit, heard before the Chief
Justice of Ireland in December, 1864, provided Dublin with the most
sensational case |
|
of
a generation. When it was over, the reputation of Sir William Wilde had been
blasted forever. The highlight of the |
|
|
hearing was Mary's account of her first
seduction in the surgery. "He put his arms around me and asked me to
call him |
|
William," she said. When I refused, he
told me to go to the devil, so I went to a solicitor." Later, when she
had been under |
|
the
influence of chloroform, she awoke to find Dr. Wilde pouring water over her
and saying: "Pray rouse yourself, madam, |
|
or we shall both be ruined." "And had
you been - er -ruined?" asked her counsel, amid a breathless hush in
court. "I had," |
|
said Mary grimly. The jury were not strongly
impressed by Mary's story. They awarded her the contemptuous damages of |
|
one
farthing. Wilde, however, had to pay costs amounting to £2000. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wilde's name never recovered from the
shock. He was lampooned as the "Wild Knight." Undergraduates of
Trinity College |
|
chanted in the streets a
ballad that began: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
"There's an oculist living in Merrion Square, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whose skill is unrivalled and talent is rare, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And, if you will listen, I'll try to reveal, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
matter that caused poor Miss Travers to squeal." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"For some years, Wilde lived obscurely in
the country. His closing years were darkened by tragedy when two illegitimate |
|
daughters on whom he doted were burned to death
at a ball in a nearby house. As one of the girls was dancing, her |
|
|
crinoline caught fire from an open hearth. Her
sister rushed to her rescue. Her dress also burst into flames. The two girls |
|
were carried from the ballroom and rolled in
the snow outside. Both died next day from terrible burns. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wilde returned to Dublin in 1875. The
lawsuit scandal was dwindling. His son Oscar had been launched on a brilliant
career |
|
in London. On April 19, 1876, Sir William Wilde
died. Legend has it that a mysterious, veiled woman called to see him on |
|
his
death-bed, sat watching him silently for an hour, then slipped from the
house. Some say it was Mary Travers, the |
|
woman whose wrongs had crushed him." |

Of all the many thousands of dates of birth and

The following biography of Sir William appeared
in the September 1960 issue of the monthly Australian magazine
"Parade". |

It is recommended that the biography be read in
conjunction with that of Sir Julian Emanuel Salomons. |

|
"Gay young blades wending their way home
in Sydney, November 27, 1886, were surprised to see lights still burning in
the |
|
Central Criminal Court. They would have been
even more surprised had they looked inside. Eleven prisoners on trial for |
|
|
their lives slept fitfully in the dock, heads
lolling from side to side. At the bar table lawyers nodded from weariness,
jerking |
|
back to attention at a thundering interjection
from the judge. Jurymen, struggling to keep awake, passed a salts bottle up |
|
and down their ranks to fight off exhaustion.
The only man in the whole courtroom still alert, listening keenly to every
word |
|
and making frequent notes, was the judge, Sir
William Windeyer. Sir William had kept the court in session for more than 16 |
|
hours. When counsel protested he sternly
reminded them that "personal considerations ought not to prevail in a
case |
|
|
where men are on trial for their lives."
This marathon sitting and Sir William's general conduct of the case, the
notorious |
|
Mount Rennie rape trial, brought violent
outbursts from newspapers and the public. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir William became one of the most
controversial figures in Australian legal history. No sooner had memories of
the Mount |
|
Rennie case faded than Sir William was again
the subject of nation-wide attack over the Dean case, a trial which rocked |
|
Australia
and almost led to the fall of a Government. Sir William was assailed from all
sides. Newspapers howled for his |
|
scalp. Mobs burned his effigy. He was labelled
the "hanging judge." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir William's association with these two
famous cases made him a marked man, yet there was another side to this stern |
|
judge which was scarcely known. As a member of
Parliament he worked for many reform measures. He guided through the |
|
House Acts whose benefits are still enjoyed. He
took a keen interest in education and was the author of many measures |
|
to help brilliant, but poor, students receive
good schooling. Untiring in his work for charity, he founded the Discharged |
|
|
Prisoners' Aid Society. Now recognised as a
brilliant lawyer, Sir William was one of the best judges Australia has ever
had. |
|
But he had a brusque, abrupt manner and a
dogmatic attitude which made him many enemies. |

"William Charles Windeyer was born in
England in 1834. His parents came to Australia when he was a year old. He was |
|
|
educated at The King's School, Parramatta, and
graduated M.A. at Sydney University. Called to the bar in 1857, Sir William |
|
later served as Crown Prosecutor in many
country districts gaining experience which served him well on the bench. In
1866 |
|
he entered Parliament as member for West
Sydney. Eleven years later he was appointed Attorney General in the second |
|
[Sir
Henry] Parkes ministry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In 1881 Sir William was appointed a
puisne judge of the Supreme Court. Thereafter he was constantly in the public
eye. |
|
He soon won a name for himself as a
conscientious and hard-working judge. Criminals regarded him as a terror to
be |
|
|
avoided at any cost. He had the knack of
spotting a liar the moment he entered the witness box. Many a criminal who |
|
thought he could lie his way out of trouble
wished he had never met Judge Windeyer. The judge would lash a man with his |
|
tongue, then give him the stiffest sentence the
law allowed. On one occasion when a jury acquitted a man of theft Sir |
|
William told him: "You're a lucky man,
prisoner. It is not my verdict. It is the verdict of the jury." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir William was a stickler for protocol.
Heaven help the inexperienced junior counsel who was not quick to his feet
when |
|
Sir William entered the courtroom. Lawyers
would get a scathing dressing down for the slightest breach of court
etiquette. |
|
Counsel who came into court with a weak case
were even more likely to feel the sting of Sir William's tongue. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir William was soon a prominent figure
in Sydney. The Mount Rennie rape case brought him right into the limelight.
On |
|
September 9, 1886, a 16-year-old orphan, Mary
Jane Hicks, was lured into dense scrub below Mount Rennie near Moore |
|
Park [now an inner suburb of Sydney]. A gang of
youths sprang on her, tore off her clothing, flung her on a bed of leaves. |
|
Each in turn ravished the young girl while the
others pinned her to the ground. The vicious assault continued even after |
|
Mary Hicks had lost consciousness. A passing
shipwright told the police. The youths scattered but within a few days police |
|
arrested
15 boys. Eleven were committed for trial before Sir William Windeyer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The hearings were sensational. On Monday,
November 22, the first day of the hearing, the Court sat for 12 hours. The |
|
following Friday it sat for 18 hours till 3.30
a.m. Saturday. During these late hours counsel for the defence had to address |
|
the
nodding jury on matters that meant life or death for the youths in the dock.
The final address for the Crown began |
|
at 1.45 a.m. on Saturday. When it ended Sir
William adjourned the court till 9 a.m. The court resumed five and a half
hours |
|
later.
The jury retired at 8.21 p.m. And after two and a half hours found nine of
the prisoners guilty, but recommended |
|
mercy
on account of their youth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In passing sentence, Sir William made an
astounding speech to the youths. Glaring down from the bench, he thundered: |
|
'I
warn you to prepare for death. No hope of mercy can I extend to you. Be sure
no weakness of the executive, no |
|
|
maudlin feeling of pity will save you from the
death you so richly deserve. I advise you to prepare to meet your Maker.... |
|
your time is short. The recommendation to mercy
the jury has made in your favour it will be my duty to convey to the |
|
executive.....but I can hold out no hope that
this recommendation will be acted upon." The judge then formally
pronounced |
|
sentence
of death but took the most unusual step of altering the formal pronouncement
".......and may the Lord have |
|
mercy on your souls." Instead, he said
".....and may the Lord help you repent of this crime." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"On Monday the storm broke. The Bulletin
described the trial as "such a travesty of justice as we recently been
shocked |
|
to see." Newspapers expressed doubt as to
the fairness of Sir William's attitude to the jury's recommendation for
mercy. |
|
They attacked his presumption in officially
forecasting the decision of the executive. The lengthy sittings during the
trial |
|
were also bitterly criticised. The issue of the
death sentences became a State-wide affray overnight. Letters both for and |
|
against the commutation of the death penalties
flooded newspapers. Petitions to the Governor (Lord Carrington) were |
|
|
delivered almost daily. Public meetings to
discuss the affair were held throughout New South Wales. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"On December 16, after a lengthy meeting
of the Executive Council at which Sir William Windeyer was present, three of |
|
the prisoners were reprieved and sentenced to
life imprisonment. On January 6, two more were reprieved. At Darlinghurst |
|
Gaol on January 7, 1887, the remaining four
were hanged. Two were only 17. The other two had recently turned 19. At 9 |
|
a.m. they plunged to their doom, but the
hangman had bungled the job. Only one of the youths died instantly. Three
were |
|
slowly and horribly strangled, jerking out
their lives at the end of the rope. One took fully 10 minutes to die. Had the |
|
|
hanging been quick and clean the affair might
soon have been forgotten, but this butchery brought a new wave of public |
|
anger. The storm reached its peak, then slowly
died away. It was almost buried in history when the famous Dean case |
|
came before the Criminal Court. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Dean, a ferry master, was charged with
attempting to murder his wife, Mary. The case was heard before Sir William |
|
|
Windeyer on April 4, 1895. It soon resolved
itself into one simple issue. The jury could believe Mrs Dean, who said that |
|
her husband had tried to poison her, or it
could believe Dean, who said his wife had taken the poison herself to get him |
|
into trouble. In a brilliant address to the
jury, Richard Meagher, a rising 29-year-old lawyer, closed the defence case
by |
|
suggesting that the jury should accept Dean's
testimony because of his excellent character. Popular feeling was on Dean's |
|
side and it was generally expected he would be
acquitted. There was a stir, therefore, when Sir William summed up most |
|
unfavourably for Dean. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The jury retired at 12.25 p.m. on
Saturday, April 6. Eight hours later, when it stilled showed no sign of
returning with a |
|
verdict, the judge summoned the jurors. Sir
William told the men he could not understand why it was taking them so long |
|
to reach a verdict. He said the only question
they needed to consider was 'who administered the poison?' He said the |
|
|
suggestion that Mrs Dean had taken it herself
was 'monstrous.' Then Sir William said if the jury were still undecided by |
|
midnight he would have them locked up till
Monday. He added that if the jury were being influenced by Dean's good |
|
|
character it could add a recommendation for
mercy to any finding it made. Ten minutes later the jury returned with a |
|
|
verdict of guilty, adding a strong
recommendation for mercy because of Dean's good character. Sir William then
said |
|
|
that he was as satisfied that Dean was guilty
as if he had personally seen him administer the poison. He indicated he |
|
|
would not endorse the jury's recommendation for
mercy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The uproar started the next day. The
general feeling was, guilty or not, Dean had not had a fair trial. Following
a |
|
|
monster protest meeting at Sydney Town Hall the
Government seemed so much in danger of falling that it appointed a |
|
Royal Commission to still the outcry. The
Commission in a majority report found the charges against Dean had not been |
|
proved beyond all reasonable doubt. Dean was
immediately granted a Royal pardon. Sir William stuck to his guns. He |
|
|
insisted
that Dean was guilty and that he had had a fair trial. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In October a series of sensations proved
the verdict had been correct. Sir Julian Salomons QC, who had represented |
|
|
the Crown before the Royal Commission, told the
Legislative Council of an amazing conversation with Meagher, Dean's |
|
|
counsel. Sir Julian alleged that Meagher had
told him that Dean was really guilty. Meagher replied in the Legislative |
|
|
Assembly. He denied that he had ever spoken to
Sir Julian, and cast doubts on Sir Julian's mental stability. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"On October 4, Richard Smith, a North
Sydney chemist confessed to having sold Dean quantities of poison.
Immediately |
|
Meagher, his partner Crick, two of their
employees and Dean were charged with conspiracy. On October 9, Dean |
|
|
confessed his guilt. Meagher resigned his seat,
but later was cleared. Dean could not be charged twice on the same |
|
|
count, but the Crown now pressed charges of
having made a false declaration and having committed perjury. On |
|
|
October 24, Judge Backhouse sentenced him to 14
years' imprisonment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Judge Windeyer had shown himself a man of
courage who had stuck to his convictions. The public tried to make amends, |
|
but it was too late. The affair had broken Sir
William's health. A year after the trial he resigned his position and went to |
|
Europe on a health trip. He collapsed in
Bologna and died on September 11, 1897, from paralysis of the heart." |

Sir (John) Evelyn Leslie Wrench [Kt Bach 1932, KCMG 1960] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Evelyn was founder of the English Speaking
Union, an organisation whose aim was to promote friendship between |
|
|
the members of the British Commonwealth and the
United States. It was therefore not surprising that he despised Hitler |
|
and all that he represented. The following
tongue-in-cheek article, which appeared in the Adelaide "Mail" on 8
May 1954, |
|
describes an incident which occurred in Sydney
in 1941 when he failed to deliver a promised lecture, because he felt too |
|
few people had turned up to hear him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
saying rude things about Herr Hitler, Sir Evelyn Wrench took what he
considered to be a calculated risk. He was very |
|
conscious that some day the Gestapo might come
for him. But as a noted lecturer and a public-spirited man, he felt he |
|
must expose his
valuable breast come what might. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
1941, he arrived in Australia to tell the locals what a very wicked chap
Hitler was. One would imagine that he would be |
|
pretty safe our here. But Sir Evelyn knew
better. He was forever on the alert, and wisely so, as shall soon become
evident. |
|
A
small band of undergraduates at Sydney University styling themselves the
British Unity Society, invited Sir Evelyn to |
|
come
and address them in the university union hall. Now, if there was one thing
the knight enjoyed doing it was addressing |
|
young people and guiding their thoughts in the
way they should go. He accepted, having in mind the fact that a similar |
|
invitation
he had received in New Zealand had resulted in his being confronted with 600
eager, shining, undergraduate |
|
faces. On Wednesday, July 23, 1941, Sir Evelyn
went up to the university bright and early. He had lunch with the vice- |
|
chancellor
and actually hurried the meal so that he would be free to begin speaking to
the students at 1.15 p.m. on the |
|
dot.
Came 1.15 p.m., Sir Evelyn strode through the door of the Union Hall all
braced to withstand the shock waves of |
|
cheering which were likely to greet him. He
suddenly stopped, looked, and staggered. There were barely six bodies in the |
|
whole hall, and they seemed more interested in
the food than in the lecture which lay ahead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Evelyn withdrew to the corridor. He was much upset. Nothing like this had
ever happened to him before, and he made |
|
a
sharp statement to that effect. He decided to walk up and down for a while,
to give students an opportunity to mass |
|
into the hall. He walked, but the students
didn't mass. Sir Evelyn decided that he wouldn't give his lecture. The
president |
|
of the British Unity Society, an undergraduate,
drove the distinguished visitor back to the plush Hotel Australia, mumbling |
|
apologies
all the way. The daily papers duly reported the whole affair, plus Sir
Evelyn's indignation. And it can be |
|
|
reasonably presumed that the Fifth Column read
the reports and shaped their actions accordingly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Evelyn was scheduled to give an address over national stations at 9.15 p.m.
Thursday. His subject was 'The Empire |
|
in the Post War Era.' At 9.5 o'clock on the
night of the broadcast, Sir Evelyn was sitting in his hotel suite, relaxing
in |
|
|
striped pants, black coat, and old school tie
when his phone rang. A voice said the Australian Broadcasting Commission |
|
was speaking. "Our landline to the other
states has broken down," the voice said urgently. "The Commission
would be most |
|
grateful if you would go out to our Mascot
studio to make your speech. Transport will be provided, and will arrive at
your |
|
hotel at once." Sharp was he was, Sir
Evelyn didn't sense anything wrong. "Of course," he agreed. After
all, the broadcast |
|
had to go on at all costs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Exactly
three minutes later, Sir Evelyn was down in the foyer of his hotel. Waiting
for him at the desk was a tall, dark |
|
young man, with heavy circle under his eyes.
These circles alone should have warned the lecturer who stood constantly in |
|
the
shadow of the Gestapo's wrath. Good, clean living young Britishers don't have
such marks upon them as a rule. |
|
|
However, the young man was otherwise
immaculate. He had striped pants and black coat just like Sir Evelyn's. And
he |
|
certainly looked as though he could have been
on the ABC's payroll. He introduced himself as 'Philps,' expressed regret |
|
at all the inconvenience that was being caused
to Sir Evelyn, and said that transport waited without. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
walking down the hotel steps, Sir Evelyn got a very nasty shock. The
'transport' consisted of a very ancient jalopy |
|
which wouldn't have been much out of place if
lined up with Boadicea's war chariots. Sir Evelyn was too nicely mannered |
|
to ask any questions. Perhaps the ABC was too
poor to afford any better. The visitor climbed into the car. The driver, who |
|
sat hunched and silent over the wheel, got it
into gear, and jumped his charge away from the pavement like a performing |
|
flea. Sir Evelyn registered the sensation that
the seat beneath him was not firmly fixed. The driver did not appear to be |
|
an expert at his trade. Two minutes after take
off he almost became involved in a collision. He stamped on the brake and |
|
Sir Evelyn and seat lifted into the air. It
took the knight some time to settle down, but when he did he sought to make |
|
conversation
with the driver. The figure at the wheel remained dumb and crouched. The
dark-eyed Mr. Philps seemed |
|
ready to say a few words every five minutes or
so. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
houses gradually became fewer until Sir Evelyn realised that the car was far
out into the wastelands. This did not |
|
particularly startle him. After all, a people
who would not turn up to one of his lectures were quite likely to build a
broad- |
|
casting studio in a completely remote area. The
car suddenly halted. There was a deep silence except for the call of sea- |
|
birds in the distance. "Here we are,"
said Mr. Philps. A great, white building showed dully in the darkness at the
end of a |
|
long gravel drive. "There's the
studio," continued Mr. Philps. "I'm sorry, but we have to pick up
another party." Sir Evelyn |
|
alighted. The strange car, Mr. Philps, and the
silent driver disappeared into the darkness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
visitor was now quite alone. With his normal measured tread he proceeded up
the gravel drive and reached the |
|
|
imposing building. Rap, rap, rap, he went on
the big double doors. There was no response. He hit harder. Still no result. |
|
Impatiently he rattled the doors. At this
moment he became fully aware of something very strange. There wasn't a single |
|
light in the building. He peered out into the
night. There wasn't a light anywhere there either. Suddenly he realised the |
|
whole thing was a wicked plot to block his ABC
broadcast. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Hurrying
away from the big, white building, he wandered through the night until he
found a house. Knocking up the |
|
|
householder he asked simply: "Where am
I?" The householder wasn't the type of fellow who enjoyed silly pranks
and made |
|
this fact quite evident. Sir Evelyn had a busy
time explaining to him how he came to be wandering round the wastelands |
|
of Botany Bay clad in striped pants and a black
coat. The householder said that a couple of miles along the road was a |
|
tram
stop and if Sir Evelyn ran real fast he might soon get a tram. Sir Evelyn -
to use his own words - ran like a hare. |
|
Speed plus endurance won out and the tram was
caught. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
first thing Sir Evelyn did on getting back to his suite at the Hotel
Australia was ring the Criminal Investigation Branch. |
|
There was no time to waste. The Fifth Column
had struck, and struck hard. Newspaper reporters rushed to the hotel and |
|
Sir Evelyn told the whole ugly story at length.
"I know I'm on the Nazi black list." the knight declared
fearlessly. "The Fifth |
|
Column
were trying to block my broadcast," he added. "But I foiled the
gangsters. They didn't know that I had had a |
|
|
record made of my speech and it went over the
air in spite of them." (This was the truth. The broadcast had gone out
all |
|
over Australia. The world learned that, in the
opinion of Sir Evelyn Wrench, Australia had a very good chance of becoming |
|
a most important key country in the British
Commonwealth of Nations in the post-war era.) And so Hitler and all his
minions |
|
had been foiled despite their dirty deeds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
the night of the escapade, certain anonymous persons rang the Press to advise
that the kidnapping of Sir Evelyn |
|
|
had been simply a prank by university
undergraduates, to show that gentleman that he shouldn't refuse to speak to |
|
|
even six people at the university if he had
promised to address a meeting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
great, white building had been the Botany Bay Crematorium which stands on the
edge of Botany Bay cemetery, on |
|
the lonely edge of Botany Bay. When Sir Evelyn
Wrench was told all this, he scoffed indignantly. He knew an under- |
|
|
graduate when he saw one, and he also knew a
gangster. The creature who called himself 'Philps' was no university |
|
|
student, but a 'tough nut.' Sir Evelyn insisted
that the police should get to the bottom of the whole affair, claiming that |
|
the matter could seriously affect Australia's
reputation. And furthermore, it was preposterous that he should be taken |
|
by hooligans from "a hotel where I was
paying 55/- a day." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
is perhaps little to Sydney's credit that it rocked with laughter over the
whole incident, and seemed little concerned |
|
with the damage done to Australia's reputation.
Sir Evelyn proved that he didn't lack spirit by visiting the scene of the |
|
crime on the day following the kidnapping. He
stood before the big white Botany Bay crematorium and shook his head in |
|
amazement. "It is amazing I did not lose
my way," he announced, "or meet with some accident. Fortunately I
have a very |
|
good sense of direction." Gradually Sir
Evelyn began to realise that perhaps there might be something in the theory
that |
|
university students and not Hitler's Gestapo
had worked his kidnapping. "In that case, out of fairness to a great
seat of |
|
learning and for the community's sake, the
University should take the matter up," he argued. The university vice- |
|
|
chancellor retorted that he would take no
action, because he was not aware that students had been involved. Two vice- |
|
presidents
of the British Unity Society published a joint letter criticising Sir
Evelyn's poor taste in not addressing the |
|
|
solitary six who turned up for his lecture.
They furthermore disassociated themselves from the apology their president |
|
had made when driving the visitor back to the
city. Sir Evelyn felt he was getting nowhere, for the police kept assuring |
|
him they were working night and day on the
case, but were producing no culprits. He announced that he was going on to |
|
Melbourne, and then to Adelaide. "Will you
address university bodies in those cities?" the reporters asked him.
"No," said |
|
Sir Evelyn. "Even if specially
requested?" wheedled the Press. "Definitely not." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Evelyn had learned that while he could take risks with Hitler and his
Gestapo, it was 100 per cent fatal to monkey |
|
|
about with Australian university students.' |

Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie [KCIE 1902] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyllie was assassinated on 1 Jul 1909 while
attending a reception for Indian students in London, which had been organised |
|
by the National Indian Association. The
following report is taken from "The Aberdeen Daily Journal" of 2
July 1909:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The Press Association was informed early
this morning that shortly before 11 o'clock last night, at the Imperial
Institute, |
|
at the conclusion of a public gathering, an
Indian student, whose name has not yet been disclosed shot dead Lieutenant- |
|
Colonel Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie,
K.C.I.E., and Dr. Cawas Lalcaca, of Shanghai. He was immediately seized by
those |
|
about him and given into the custody of the
police. In the student's possession were found two fully-loaded revolvers, a |
|
dagger - quite a new instrument - besides a
knife, also a number of visiting cards. It was thought at first that Dr.
Cawas |
|
Lalcaca
showed some signs of life, and was taken to St. George's Hospital, where,
upon arrival, life was found to be |
|
|
extinct. Two doctors had previously examined
Sir Curzon Wyllie, and found him dead. The crime was evidently pre- |
|
|
meditated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Mr. D.W. Thorburn, who witnesses the
tragedy, gave the following account:- All at once the native drew a revolver.
The |
|
action was as quick as thought. He fired four
shots very rapidly full into the head of the Englishman with the muzzle of
the |
|
weapon close to the face. Then another shot at
him as he fell, and a sixth, which struck down an elderly Indian gentleman |
|
standing
two or three yards off, who fell shot in the side. The first four shots were
all fired so quickly that I could do |
|
|
nothing. Then I rushed at the assassin, and
another man sprang at him from the other side of the door. We seized him and |
|
he struggled. Wresting one hand free, he placed
the revolver to his head and pulled the trigger, but it clicked harmlessly. |
|
He had fired all his shots. "Shut the
folding doors!" I called, and this was done to prevent the people seeing
the fearful |
|
sight. A doctor was in the hall and he came at
once. He said:- "Nothing can be done for him," as he knelt down by
the side |
|
of
the Englishman. I had asked while I was still holding the Indian - "Whom
has he shot?" Someone - I don't know who- |
|
called out in horror - "It is Sir Curzon
Wyllie!" A stately woman in dark evening dress came upstairs. She knelt
down, for |
|
the
wounds had disfigured him. Then I saw horror leap to her eyes. Quite quietly
she said"- "It is my husband! my |
|
|
husband! Why was I not with him?" It was
Lady Wyllie. She had only left her husband a few minutes before to get her |
|
cloak, and he was following her when the Indian
student engaged him in conversation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Lieutenant-Colonel Sir William Hutt
Curzon Wyllie, who was 61 years of age, entered the Indian army in 1867 and
retired |
|
as lieutenant-colonel in 1901. He served for
eight years on the Oudh Commission, and subsequently transferred to the |

On 17 December, "The Times" published
the obituary beneath:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lieutenant-Colonel
Sir Frank Popham Young, K.B.E., C.I.E., whose death in na motor accident on
the Marlow-Henley road |
|
was recorded in our issue of December 14, was a
man of much versatility and one of the few Indian administrtaors whose |
|
plays have been produced on the London stage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
son of Colonel G. Gordon Young, he was born in 1863, and followed his father
into the Indian Army, being gazetted |
|
in 1888. He was appointed to the Punjab
Commission, and lived to be one of the few remaining military officers whose |
|
|
service
was almost entirely in civil administration along with members of the
I[ndian] C[ivil] S[ervice]. He reached the |
|
post of Commissioner of Rawalpindi in the last
War, and gave the late Sir Michael O'Dwyer, then Lieutenant-Governor, |
|
|
enthusiastic aid in recruitment of the Army. No
less than 120,000 fighting men were obtained for, in the words of his |
|
|
chief, Young knew how "to get the best out
of his officers and people." In 1916 he submitted to the authorities a |
|
|
confidential note propounding a scheme for the
establishment of a Territorial Army in India. For a few months thereafter |
|
he was placed on military duty, and he may be
regarded as having had some share in planning the formation of the Indian |
|
Territorial Force, which was established under
an Act passed in 1920. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Young,
who had now been knighted, retired in the summer of 1919, and turned to
account his delight in imaginative |
|
|
writing. A first play, Behind
the Purdah (1919), was followed by two others, A Dog's Chance (1926) and The One-Eyed |
|
Herring (1927). The
latter had a theme suited to the pen of Edgar Wallace, but lacked his
sureness of touch. Young |
|
|
spent some of his later years on the Riviera,
and in 1922 brought out a poem, "A Ménage à Trois across the Styx."
He was |
|
twice married, first to a daughter of the late
olonel J.A.L. Montgomery and secondly to Elisabeth Anne Marcus, of San |
|
Francisco, who died in 1936.' |
