low a playful demonstration of the antics of performing fleas led to the death of a young married man was told at Accrington, whon a vordict of "accidental death" was returned at the inquest on George Dransfield (24), commer cial traveller, of Aitken Street, Accrington.
It was stated that Dransfield and his wife, visited a local fair ground and saw a performance of floas in which two of them were aupposed to be fighting a duel..
Mrs. Ethel Dransfield said that next evening she was preparing tea and took up a knife to cut bread. At that moment her hus- band mentioned tho' flean' perform- ance. Laughing, and joking she began to demonstrate the thrusts. She made a slight thrust towards her husband and felt the knife pierce his flesh. He bled profusa. ly and did not speak.
They had had four years of happy married life, she said.
James Booth said that Mrs. Dransfield came into his room as- sisting her husband. When he asked what had happened, she re- plfed, "I have done it, not him." He noticed a small Woun on Dransfield's chest and began to batho it
Mrs. Dransfield was hugging her husband and imploring him tô speak to her,
Dr. Anderson said that it was a thousand to one chance on the knife getting between the ribs. With such an instrument, the force required to inflict the wound would not be very greni.
The Coroner (Mr. F. Rowland) said it seemed to him that the tragedy was the result of lurking, nol an unknown thing among | young couplea.
The jury must realise that young
people, did silly things and must not put too extreme a test when asking themselves whether they. could have avoided it by reason- able care.
RIDDLE OF
A WILL
BEERSELLER'S GIFT
TO CHARITY
Mr. William Hurst, a retired beer-seller living at Little Hulton, neur Bolton, Lancashire, left what was described to Mr. Justice Farwell, in the Chancery Division by counsel, as the "surprisingly Jurge" fortune of £57,000.

DECCA PORTROLA

Something that- until the introduction of this truly remarkable little instrument was ..considered out of the question. But the seemingly impossible has been accomplished and DECCA- the Inventors of the first acoustic portable-now introduce tho world's first portable radio-gram.
A marvel of ingenuity, the Portrola' is distinguishad not merely for its portability and novelty, but it really is a highly efficient radio-gram, giving superlative results on radio or records and challenging favourable comparison with most multi-valve receivers.
