Son of Angelo and Santina Pagoda, of Riverton, Western Australia.
The inquiry into the death of the late Angelo Andrew Pagoda, whose body was found alongside the Southern Line near Nubba, was also held. Dr. Henry said deceased's injuries were consistent with him falling from a train, and being dragged along after the fall. George Alfred Ware, fettler of Nubba, gave evidence that he found the body, and arranged for the Ambulance and the police to be called.
Plainclothes Constable Haskew said that inquiries had been made in Sydney and Albury, but it had not yet been possible to establish which train the deceased was travelling on. So far no equipment or luggage had been found in the trains. Further inquiries are being continued, and a report had been forwarded to the Victorian police for inquiries in that State. The inquest was adjoudned until April 9th.
