Fatal
Ducking’
ADELAIDE, Tues-
day. – John Andrew
Rogers, a fifth year
medical student, told a
packed court here to-day
that he helped to search
the River Torrens after
seeing a “fresher,” John
Gregory Neill, of Chelten-
ham, being thrown into the
water by fellow students
during a “rag” at Adelaide
University on March 14.
‘ Accused of the manslaughter
of Neill are these five students:
Gerald Maxwell Hansberry, 23,
of Dalaston Avenue, Glenunga;
Edward Francis Haywood, 22, of
Marlborough Road, Westbourne
Park; Kenneth John Westphalen.
23, of Leader Street, Goodwood;
John Herbert Mickan, 22, of Ger-
trude Street, Brooklyn Park; and
John Horton Spurway, 23, of
Myall Avenue, Kensington Gar-
dens.
“FOUR MEN’.’
J. A. Rogers, of Jeffcott
Street, North’ Adelaide, said he
went to thc university about 7
p.m.
Later he went to the university
bridge with a companion. From
there he saw some students in the
water.
“Just as I looked from one side
of the bridge, I saw a student in
the process of being tossed into
the river,” said Rogers.
“I have the feeling that four
men threw him.
“I saw thc student hit the
water about four yards from the
bank. He did not reappear.
“1 first thought that perhaps
the student might have been a
good swimmer and, playing a
joke, had swum up the river and
hidden in the bushes.
“With a companion, I ran to
the bushes, but could not find thc
student. Then I ran back to the
spot where he had been thrown
in, where I saw Hansberry, who
had undressed, diving into the
water.
“COULDN’T SWIM”
“Hansberry came out of the
water and asked me if I would
help. It was at this juncture that
Hansberry said: ‘The silly –
said. he could not swim,’ ” said
Rogers.
“After that 1 undressed and
started to dive. The water was
about 10 to 15 feet deep there.
I continued diving for about 15
minutes. 1 was exhausted and
left the water, dressed, and went
to telephone the police. .
“Returning to the. river bank
afterwards, I found that the stu-
dent had been recovered from
the water.
“In the car I took deceased
to the hospital.”
The hearing goes on to-day.
