Strong Remarks in Court Brisbanes Drowning Case
Brisbane June 14 The inquiry into the death of Susie McMillan by drowning in the Brisheme Hiver on June 2 became a stage for dramatic testimony. Leary Young a drapers assistant engaged to be married to McMillan testified that he and McMillan planned to meet at a stadium after she agreed to join him. He claimed she vanished after leaving his home on the night of June 3, and he faced questions about a woman named Scott. The magistrate pressed him about alleged letters and connections while witnesses insisted they knew nothing of the girl Scott or the alleged arrangements leaving the court skeptical of his explanations. The inquiry was adjourned until Friday.
