Lottery Winner Owen Carlton Found Amid Railway Tragedy
The mutilated body of Owen Henry Carlton was found on a railway line near Gordonvale. Carlton had won the first prize of £6000 months earlier in a lottery and later claimed to have spent most of his money in a butcher business at Tully. He acknowledged losses in a bookmaking venture and faced bankruptcy court examinations. A warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to appear for continued examination, and the tragedy occurred shortly after a car ride on a train at Alooma. The brake action of the train aided the discovery of the body.
