(Father of deceased) Inquest22 Dec 1943Samuel Francis (Frank) Colman; Courthouse, West Maitland, NSW; >
The Deputy Coroner, in hearings conducted at the West Maitland Courthouse in Nov and Dec 1943, returned a verdict of accidental death, and undertook to take up with the authorities the location of a telephone pole (struck by the Army vehicle in which the deceased was travelling) on a public road.
1. Article in The Muswellbrook Chronicle, 23 Nov 1943, page 3:
LATE SGT. FRANK COLMAN. EVIDENCE AT INQUEST.
     Evidence that his skull was fractured when a military utility truck in which he was riding struck a telephone post was given at an inquest at West Maitland into the death of Sergeant Samuel Francis Colman (34), formerly teacher at Spring Creek, and a well-known Muswellbrook district cricketer.
     The inquest was conducted by the deputy-coroner (Mr. E. C. Scarlett). Major C. A. Hill appeared for the Department of the Army, Mr. S. C. Colman (deceased's father) for the relatives, and Sergeant M. Spellman for the police.
     Dr. J. J. Hollywood said that when he made a post mortem examination of Colman's body he found a compound fracture of the skull on the right side, and lacerations to the brain. Death resulted from shock and haemorrage caused by the lacerations to the brain.
     Sergeant Roland Westbrook Bracey said he and deceased were in a truck which went to a dance at Hinton on the night of September 9. The driver was Sergeant Manuel. They left Hinton about 11.30 and went to Largs, where a dance was in progress. They were only at Largs about 20 minutes when that dance ended and they left to go back to Hinton and pick up any others there desiring to come back.
     Sergeant Colman was seated beside the driver. After going round a bend in the road, the truck collided with a telephone post and turned over. Colman was crouched in the front of the truck and, when other military personnel, including a doctor, arrived, they got Colman out, but he was dead. His skull was broken.
MODERATE SPEED.
     The truck was driven at a moderate speed and Sergeant Manuel was perfectly sober. They only had one glass of beer to drink at Hinton.
     Sergeants Darrell Spencer Porter and Donald Frederick Manuel gave similar evidence. They said the speed of the truck was never more than 25 to 30 miles. The night was very dark. They had a drink at Hinton about 9 o'clock but none afterwards.
     In reply to Major Hill, Sergeant Manuel said the vehicle was quite all right. He had nothing to drink between the time he left Hinton and the accident.
     Sergeant M. Spellman said that the accident happened two miles on the Hinton side of Largs. Marks indicated that the truck left the road when taking the bend. The land was cultivated up to the road and the pole would be hard to see.
     Replying to Major Hill he said the road was narrow, 16 or 17 feet wide. The pole was not painted.
     The further hearing was adjourned to a date to be fixed to permit the attendance of a military doctor.
2. Article in the Wellington Times, 25 Nov 1943, page 13:
THE LATE SERGEANT COLMAN
INQUEST INTO DEATH
     The inquest concerning the death, in a road crash, of Sergeant Samuel Francis Colman, brother of Mrs. Jack Spilsbury, of 'Westholme,' Wellington, has been held, and, as deceased had visited Wellington on a number of occasions, the friends and acquaintances will be interested to hear the particulars of the crash which resulted in his untimely end.
     Travelling from Largs to Hinton to pick up military personnel from a dance about midnight on September 10, a military truck with four sergeants collided with a pole. It turned completely round. Sergeant Samuel Francis Colman, 34, of Bourke Street, Goulburn, who was seated beside the driver, was dead when he was extricated from the overturned truck.
     The driver of the truck, Sergeant Donald Frederick Manuel, told the Deputy Coroner (Mr. E. C. Scarlett) at West Maitland Courthouse that he had driven over the road on only one other occasion at night. He was travelling between 20 and 25 miles an hour. He had no recollection of the accident.
     Sergeant M. Spelman, of West Maitland police, said there was a turn to the left where the accident occurred. Bare cultivated land extended to the roadside on the right-hand side. The farm land was only about six inches below the road surface. The pole would be hard to see against the uncultivated land. The pole was unpainted.
     Mr. Scarlett adjourned the inquest in order to hear the evidence of the military doctor who attended at the scene of the accident.
     The late Sergeant Colman was the second son of Mr. S. C. Colman, of Hamilton, an alderman of the Greater Newcastle Council. Prior to his enlistment he was attached to the Education Department, and is survived by a widow and baby daughter.
3. Article in The Muswellbrook Chronicle, 24 Dec 1943, page 1:
FARMING ON ROAD
Statement at Inquest.
     A statement that portion of the road between Largs and Morpeth was being cultivated was made at the adjourned inquest at West Maitland court house on Wednesday into the death of Sergeant Samuel Francis Colman, formerly of Muswellbrook, who was killed when a military truck in which he was riding on September 10, struck a telegraph post and turned over.
     It was stated by the father of deceased that the proclaimed road was 33 feet wide but the gravelled section was only 17 feet wide, also that the pole with which the truck collided was erected on the road.
     The deputy coroner (Mr. E. C. Scarlett) said he would take the matter up with the authorities.
     Captain Benjamin Neil Adsett, a doctor in the Australian Field Ambulance, said he arrived at the scene of an accident on the Largs-Hinton road at 1.50 am. on September 10. A tan Army truck was on its side and in the cabin were two men. The driving side of the vehicle was on the ground.
     One was Sergeant Colman, and he was dead. He had a deep lacerated wound on the right side of his face and a compound fracture of the skull. Sergeant Manuel was the other in the cabin. He was injured and badly shocked. Colman's body was lying across him.
"POLE ON ROAD."
     The coroner, in returning a verdict of accidental death, said it was a most regrettable occurrence. He was satisfied that intoxicating liquor had nothing to do with the accident; that was clearly shown from the evidence. He extended his sympathy to the relatives.
     Mr. S. C. Colman, of Hamilton, father of deceased, thanked the coroner for his remarks and said no doubt it was a tragic happening. He also thanked the coroner for the courtesy extended to him during the two days of the inquest.
     "There are several observations I would like to make," added Mr. Colman. "It was stated in evidence that the road at the scene of the accident was 17 feet wide. I have made inquiries from the Shire Clerk and was informed that the width of the proclaimed road is 33 feet.
     "If the gravelled portion of the road is 17 feet, that will leave eight feet on either side which, according to the evidence, is being cultivated. The question is whether the road is being cultivated with the permission of the council or is it being used without the council's consent."
     "In regard to the telegraph pole, it was stated in evidence that it was 2ft 6in from the edge of the gravelled road. That means that the pole is on a public road."
     "Yes," said the coroner.
     Mr. Colman said the coroner might consider it advisable to suggest that the pole be removed to the edge of the road and painted white to a height of six feet. He was not making that suggestion in any connection with the present matter but in the interest of the travelling public.
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.
     The coroner asked if the Shire Clerk was fully aware of the exact location of the road.
     Mr. Colman replied that he told him of the accident, where it had occurred and why he wanted the information.
     "If the facts are as stated," said Mr. Scarlett, "it is a serious matter. If these facts as stated are put before me in writing, I will take the matter up with the authorities immediately.
     "If a proclaimed road is being used or purposes other than a road, it should not be permitted. I would have no hesitation in saying that the post should be removed. From the evidence, the post was the cause of the accident.21,22,23
