ASSAULT ON DR. FRED KEW.

TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1931.

ASSAILANT BELIEVED TO

HAVE BEEN PAID.

A possible explanation of the recent sensational attack made on Dr. Fred Kew, outaide the Nether lands India Commercial Bank, in Ice House Street, was advanced by Mr. Leo d'Almada, БПТ, on his appearance before Mr. William at the Central Police Court yes- terday afternoon, to prosecute im Fun, a

street coolle, on four charges arising out of the inci- dent. According to the pro- adcutor there was reason to be lieve, that the men were paid as sallunts.

A Time of Trial Australian Clergyman's

Experience.

After an illness, when the vitality has becomo depleted, there often follows a period when health still hangs a balance.

Somo people recuperate more quickly than others, but there aro those who, seeming to have used up all their reserva strength; are unable to regain their

former vigour. These after effects may mennen the health for a life-time. During this time of trial, the convalescent period, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, are a wonderful ald.

the first three charges the defendant entered pleas of guilty but denied the Inst

count.

Incident Described. Before calling Dr. J. H. McElney to give evidence as to the nature

of the injuries sustained by the complainant, Mr. d'Almada re- capitulated the events leading to the defendant's arrest. He said that Dr. Kew, as his Worship knew, was a dentist by profession but was now practising as a share broker. In the Course of his duties he had occasion to visit the Netherlands India Commercial Bank in Des Voeux Rond, in the premises formerly occupied by the King Edward Hotel.

Dr. Williams Plak Pills were recommended to me and after three weeks I taking them for noticed definite improvement. I am glod to say that the course of these pilis did me much good and remedied these distressing cond- tions. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me all that is claim- ed for them. Otherwise I would not give this testmonial."

y Dr. Kew defended himself with his arm and received the blow across the wrist. The recund wound was not serious but Dr. Melney would tell the Court that the injury on the head was of a severe nature and if Dr. Kew had not been wearing a thick feli hat he might have had his skull fractured. His Worship would see the seriousness of the offence and would inflict a heavy penalty accordingly.
