The Cripple and His Crutch. - DEATH OF J. P. LAMB. - CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
On August 30 last, a man named Joseph Patrick Lamb fell (or was thrown by another man) in Cathedral-street, Woolloomooloo, and sustained an injury to his head. He went about his usual work for a few days, but died under circumstances which necessitated a coroner's inquest being held.
The police arrested Henry Spencer Hanssen, a cripple who keeps a small grocer's shop in Crown-street, Woolloomooloo, on a charge of having caused the death of Lamb.
He came before the Water Police Court, and Sergeant Drew asked for a remand. The officer said he would require a fortnight, as the coroner was rather busy these times, and he did not wish to bring the accused man up twice if it was possible to avoid it. "The circumstances of the case are," he said, "that the accused was in a hotel with deceased drinking —— "
Accused: “No, no. I was not drinking at all. You are wrong.”
Counsel: Keep quiet. He was not, your Worship, in a hotel at all.
Sergeant Drew: "I was only saying what has been told me. The deceased and the accused had an altercation in a hotel; after coming out there was an altercation between them again, and the deceased said something, or did something, to annoy the accused, who made a blow at him with one of his crutches, hitting him on or near the temple. The deceased was apparently not injured, but went about his work for some days ——"
Counsel: "Ten days."
Sergeant Drew: "And after that, the deceased, it is said, died from the effects of the blow."
Accused was remanded until September 15, bail being allowed. (See also: Sydney Morning Herald (NSW) Friday 2 September 1910 Page 4; National Advocate (Bathurst, NSW) Friday 2 September 1910 Page 2)

MAN'S SUSPICIOUS DEATH. - EVIDENCE AT THE INQUEST.
The Coroner conducted an inquest yesterday into the death of Joseph Patrick Lamb, 38, who died at his residence, 14 Riley-street, on Tuesday last. Henry Spencer Hanssen, a cripple, who has been charged with causing Lamb's death, was present in court, and Mr J. Howarth watched the case on his behalf.
Ellen Quinn, who had been living with Lamb as his wife, said that on August 22, when he arrived home in the evening, Lamb looked strange. He was bleeding from a wound in the left side of the forehead, and in answer to a question told her that Hanssen had struck him with his crutch. He said that they both rolled together on the footpath, and Hanssen was put on his feet, and swung his crutch round, and struck him. "Oh, it was a cowardly blow," he added.
The Coroner: Was there any ill feeling between Hanssen and Lamb? — Yes.
The Coroner: Did you ask Lamb whether he struck Hanssen? — Yes, and he replied "I don't know. I can't remember how it happened "
Continuing witness said that on the Monday night a week alter the occurrence. Lamb went to bed, and on waking up during the night complained of his head. She could not wake him next morning and sent for a neighbour. The police were subsequently informed and Dr. Riley ordered his removal to the hospital, but Lamb died before he could be removed.
Dr. Palmer, who made a post mortem examination of the body, said he found a bruise on the left side of the forehead. There was no fracture of the skull, but there was some laceration of the under-surface of the brain, with subsequent hamorrhage. Death, in his opinion, was due to the injury of the brain. The injury could have been caused by either a blow or a fall, but from the outline of the wound he should think it more than likely that it was due to a fall on a hard surface.
Charles Robinson, a carter, said he was standing with his horse and cart outside the Woolloomooloo Lockup on the afternoon of August 22 when he saw Hanssen come out of the door of the Australian Inn. Lamb followed almost immediately and seemed to bump Hanssen. The men then grappled with each other, and fell on to the footpath. The deceased was underneath, and Hanssen held his head and bumped it on the ground several times. As Hanssen was getting up he struck deceased in the nose and witness going over said, "That was a cowardly thing to do." Haussen replied, "I'll kill him for coming at a cripple." Witness helped Hanssen up, and he walked towards Crown-street. Lamb, who was bleeding from the nose and forehead, also walked away round the corner.
Mrs. Martha McIntosh said she was sitting on the balcony of her sister's residence, next to the Australian Inn, on Monday afternoon, when she saw Lamb strike Hanssen in the face with his open hand. The latter dropped his crutch, and grappled with the man, and they both fell struggling to the pavement. While there she did not see Hanssen strike Lamb.
The Coroner: Did you see Hanssen strike the man with his crutch? — No.
What was the condition of the men? — Hanssen was sober, and Lamb appeared to be intoxicated.
At this stage the inquest was adjourned until Friday next.

A COWARDLY BLOW. - COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S DEATH. - EVIDENCE AT THE INQUEST.
Mr. Stephen Murphy held an inquest at the City Coroner's Court, concerning the death of Joseph Patrick Lambe, 38, which occurred at his home in Riley-street, Surry Hills, on Tuesday last. Henry Spencer Haussen, grocer, who had been arrested and charged with causing Lambe's death, was present in court. He is a cripple, having had one leg amputated above the knee, and he walks about with the aid of two crutches.
Mr. J. Howarth watched his interests.
Ellen Quinn, a machinist, said she lived with Lambe as his wife (and went under the name of Lambe) for five years. Lambe was formerly a commercial traveller. Witness frequently burst into tears during the recital of her evidence. "On August 22," she said, "I left home in the morning, and returned at 6.15 p.m. Lambe looked strange, and was bleeding from a wound in the forehead. I asked him what happened, and he said, "Haussen hit me with his crutch. Oh, it was a cowardly blow! We both went out on the footpath, and rolled over together on the footpath. Haussen was put on his feet, and taking his crutch swung it round his head and struck me. Oh, it was a cowardly blow!" He did not tell me how it happened. I said to him, "Did you strike him?" He replied, "I don't know. I can't remember how it happened." When I again asked him if he had struck Haussen he said, "No. We both fell together."
The Coroner: Was there any ill-feeling between them? Witness: Yes, Haussen was always passing remarks about us. Oh! we lived in our own poverty-stricken way, and never did any thing for that man to talk about.
Continuing, witness; said that Lambe, from the time he came home on August 22, was pretty bad, but did not go to bed till the following Monday night (August . 29). He died next morning. During the week he was bad, he took an occasional drink. He was not of temperate habits.
The Coroner: Did he fall downstairs after he was injured Witness: Oh, no. That was another man, whose wife threw him downstairs. I went down to pick him up, but his wife cried out "Don't pick him up; I threw him down stairs."
Dr. Palmer, who made a post-mortem examination of the body, said there was a bruise on the left side of the forehead. There was no fracture of the skull. The bruise was lacerated, and there was a consequent hemorrhage. The injury could have been caused, by a blow or a fall.
Charles Robinson, carter, said he was standing outside the Woolloomooloo lock-up with his horse and cart on the afternoon of August 22, when he saw Haussen come out of the side-door of the Australian Inn, closely followed by Lambe. Lambe seemed to bump Haussen. The two men, who smelt of drink, grappled with each other, and fell on to the footpath. Lambe was underneath. Haussen held Lambe's head, and bumped his forehead against the footpath several times. As Haussen was getting up from the ground, he struck Lambe on the nose. Witness ran over, and said, "That was a cowardly thing to do." Haussen replied, "I'll kill the —— for coming at a cripple." Witness helped Haussen to his feet. He then walked away towards Crown-street. Lambe, who was bleeding, got up, and walked away round the corner.
Emma Starcevich, proprietress, of a wine shop at 108 Cleveland-street, city, said she was sitting in the shop on the afternoon of August 22. She could see into the street, and noticed Haussen and Lambe on the ground together. Haussen seemed to be on his knee, and was striking Lambe on the face and head. Haussen kept a grocer's shop opposite her's. She saw him enter his chop, and heard him exclaim to someone, "I have given him something to go on with this time." Witness bore no enmity towards Haussen.
Mrs. Martha M'Intosh said she saw Lambe strike Haussen across the face, and Haussen, dropping his crutch, grappled with him. They fell to the ground, and were struggling with each other. A young man lifted Haussen up, and said to Lambe, "You're a coward. He has only one leg." There was nothing else said or done. Witness said to Haussen "It serves the man right. He deserved all he got."
The Coroner: It has been sworn that Haussen bumped and struck the man. Is that true? — Witness: It is not true.
Do you know Haussen? — No. They were both strangers to me.
Has Haussen or anyone else spoken to you about this affair? — No. Haussen did not use his crutch. Lambe appeared to be intoxicated, and Haussen sober.
Joseph Downey said he was in the Australian Inn and heard Haussen and Lambe having an argument about Adelaide. Lambe said to Haussen, "You're a liar." Haussen walked out of the hotel. Lambe went out soon after. Witness heard someone outside cry out, "Don't hit the man down." Lambe came back to the hotel with a lump on his forehead and his nose was cut. Lambe and Haussen, in witness opinion, were both sober. In the hotel Haussen said to Lambe, "I knew you in Adelaide, and you are no good."
Patrick Quinn said that when Lambe came into the hotel with a lump on his forehead he said: "That fellow struck me with a stick." He was not asked by anyone how it was done, or who did it. He did not hear anything about "liars and Adelaide." He was sober. He had a pint of beer in front of him and was talking to Downey.
At this stage the inquest was adjourned until Friday afternoon.

WOOLLOOMOOLOO STREET BRAWL. - A CRIPPLE COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
The adjourned inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Joseph Patrick Lambe, who died in his home at 14 Riley-street, Woolloomooloo, on August 30, about a week after he had been engaged in a street brawl with a man named Henry Spencer Haussen, a cripple with only one leg, who has since been apprehended, occupied the attention of the City Coroner this afternoon.
Mr. T. Howarth appeared to watch the inquiry in Haussen's interest.
Senior-constable Lonsdale gave evidence regarding the arrest of Haussen, who, when charged with causing Lambe's death, said, "It is very humiliating." Subsequently Haussen made a statement which witness took down in writing. It was to the effect that Lambe had insulted him in a hotel at Woolloomooloo, and shortly afterwards, in the street, they had a scuffle. No blown were struck, and Haussen denied the allegation that he had hit Lambe with a crutch or bumped his head on the footpath.
Constable Montague also gave evidence.
Haussen elected to make a statement on his own behalf. He denied absolutely that he had struck Lambe with his crutch or had ever punched him or bumped his head on the footpath. He did get into holds with deceas-ed and they fell together. Lambe was the aggressor, and insulted him without cause in the hotel, and afterwards attacked him in the street.
After recalling Charles Robinson, who was an eye-witness of the fracas, the Coroner returned a verdict of manslaughter against Haussen, and committed him to take his trial at the next Court of Quarter Sessions, bail bring allowed.

JOSEPH LAMBE'S DEATH. - THE CORONER'S VERDICT. - A CRIPPLE COMMITTED.
Mr. Stephen Murphy concluded the adjourned inquest at the City Coroner's Court concerning the death of Joseph Patrick Lambe, 38, formerly a commercial traveller, which occurred at his home in Riley-street, Woolloomooloo, on Tuesday, August 30.
C. Henry Spencer Haussen, who had been arrested and charged with causing Lambe's death, was again present in court. He is a cripple, having had his left leg amputated above the knee, and he walks about with the aid of two crutches.
Mr. J. Howarth watched his interests.
Senior-constable Lonsdale said that he, in company with Constable Montague, arrested Haussen on August 31 at his shop in Cathedral-street, city. The previous day witness obtained a statement from him.
Constable Montague gave corroborative evidence, and said that when he accompanied Charles Robinson (who previously gave evidence) to the Morgue, Robinson, looking at Lambe's body, said. "That's the man who I saw the cripple assault. You can still see the bruise on his forehead."
Henry Spencer Haussen said he had a general shop at 107 Cathedral-street, Woolloomooloo. He was in the Australian Inn, at the corner of Riley and Cathedral streets, Woolloomooloo, on the afternoon of August 22, and saw Lambe there. Witness heard Lambe talking, and witness thought he was referring to him. He left by the Cathedral-street en-trance, and Lambe came after him. Lambe made some remark, and witness was turning round when Lambe punched him on the face. Witness dropped his crutches and grappled with him. They both fell.
The Coroner: It has been said here that there were blows struck while you were on the ground. Is that true?
Witness: It is perfectly untrue, your Worship.
There has been a suggestion that you struck Lambe with your crutch? — That is also untrue, your Worship.
Do you know Robinson? — No.
Can you give any reason why he should tell a falsehood about you? — No, I cannot.
A woman has said she saw you striking Lambe? — That is untrue, your Worship. I don't see how she could have seen me at all. She lives a block away from where we fell.
Continuing, witness said he certainly did not say, 'I'll kill the —— ."
Evidence was given that Lambe was of drunken habits, and bad and quarrelsome disposition.
The Coroner said he had come to the conclusion that Haussen had used violence. He had denied all the evidence against him, even the portion where it was said that Haussen fell on top of Lambe. The evidence had shown him that Lambe was intoxicated, and Haussen sober. "I have often said," concluded Mr. Murphy, "that a drunken man should be treated as a harmless child."
The Coroner found that Lambe's death was caused by Haussen, whom he committed for trial. Bail was allowed, self in £80, or two sureties of £40.

A MAN'S DEATH. - CRIPPLE COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
The adjourned inquest concerning the death of Joseph Patrick Lamb, 38, who died at his residence, 14 Riley-street, Woolloomooloo, on August 30, was concluded at the Coroner's Court yesterday afternoon. Lamb it is alleged, died from the effects of a wound in the head received during a street brawl on August 22.
Henry Spencer Haussen, who has been arrested and charged with causing his death, was present in court, and Mr. J. Howarth watched the case on his behalf.
Henry Spencer Haussen, who elected to give evidence, said he carried on business as a general store-keeper at 107 Cathedral-street, city. Shortly before 2 o'clock he was in the Australian Inn in company with another young man. Lamb made some remarks, which witness thought were directed at him. He left by the Riley-street entrance, and as he was coming out of the door Lamb came out, and, after saying something, hit him under the left eye with his closed fist. Witness dropped his crutches, and grappled with the deceased, and they both fell to the ground. While they were there no blows were struck by either of them. Witness was assisted up by a young man. When Lamb got on his feet there was a slight abrasion over the left eye.
The Coroner. There has been a statement made that you struck the deceased with your crutch. Is that correct? — No.
Can you assign any reason for any of the witnesses saying that they saw you bump the man's head on the ground? — No, I cannot.
After hearing further evidence, the Coroner found that Lamb died from the effect of injuries to the head, unlawfully inflicted upon him by Henry Spencer Haussen, and he committed Haussen for trial at the next Court of Gaol Delivery on a charge of man-slaughter. Ball was allowed.

DEATH OF JOSEPH LAMBE. - CASE AT THE CRIMINAL COURT. - HENRY HAUSSEN DISCHARGED.
Henry Spencer Haussen, a one-legged man on crutches, appeared in the dock at the Central Criminal Court, Darlinghurst, this morning, before Mr. Justice Sly and a jury, on a charge of causing the death, of Joseph Patrick Lambe.
The accused pleaded not guilty.
The case for the Crown was that Lambe and others were in the Australian Inn, Cathedral-street, Woolloomooloo, about 3 p.m. on Aug-ust 22. Haussen came to the door, and Lambe, it appeared, made some reference to him. Shortly afterwards Lambe came out on the footway, when Haussen went towards him on his crutches. Lambe, who had made some remark to the accused, struck the latter in the face. Haussen then dropped his crutches, and the two men closed and fell on the pavement. Lambe was underneath, and it was said that accused seized him by the hair and bumped his head on the asphalt. Another man pulled Haussen off the deceased. Lambe subsequently went home, and died on August 30. The medical testimony was that death was due to an injury to the brain, which was much more likely to have been caused by the fall than a blow or a bumping of the head on the asphalt.
At the close of the evidence for the prosecution, the solicitor for the defence asked his Honor to take the case from the jury.
His Honor said he thought it was a case in which he could exercise his powers under section 24 of the Crimes Act. After hearing the evidence of the doctor, who said that death was due to the fall, he did not think the jury could find a verdict of guilty. His Honor pointed out that under the section of the Act mentioned even if he was satisfied that it was a case of manslaughter, he had power to take the case from the jury and impose a nominal penalty if he thought such a course was justified by the circumstances.
The jury was thereupon discharged without giving a verdict, and his Honor, addressing Haussen, said, "You are discharged."
Haussen then left the court with his friends.
