Brave Nurse Commended

SYDNEY, Wednesday. -A nursing sister herself wounded, had defended a wards maid from a man armed with a knife, the Coroner's Court was told today. The Coroner (Mr. E. J. Forrest) found that Stefan Georgieff, 30, clerk, of Carr-street, Coogee, a native of Bulgaria, died from self-inflicted knife wounds. He commended the sister for her courage. Irenia Boniewcz, wards maid, of the Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick, said she ran into a sister's office on February 13 when she saw Georgieff run towards her. Georgieff had said he wanted to marry her, but she did not want anything to do with him. Leila Mary Brown, senior nursing sister, said Georgieff stabbed her twice. She saw Georgieff stab Boniewcz. She pulled him away and he plunged the knife into his own chest.
