Mr. A. T. Robineon Fatally Injured in Remarkable Accident extraordinary and very, distressing accident occurred on Saturday evening, resulting-in the death of Mr. Alfred Theresius. Robinson, aged 38, a Norwegian, employed at the Old Dock. While Mr. Robinson was at home, at 22 Bubbling Well Road, about 8.30 p.m., his little boy, aged two years, began to ery and, hoping to laugh his troubles away, the father went to play with him, indulging in various antics.
Unfortunately, Mr. Robinson, picking up a long, sharp Japanese dagger, flourished it about as he danced round the room. In his contortions he allowed the point of the dagger to fall on to his left thigh, with the result that it severed the main artery, about six inches. below the -groin. The police received a telephone call for assistance and Detective Sergeant Kiloh. immediately went to the house, onl; to find' that Mr. Robinson had already bled to death, a Japanese: doctor having been' called in too late to save him. There is no suggestion that it was anything but a. pure accident and apparently Mr. Robinson only lived for a very"few minutes after the artery had been. cut.
