WILLIAM THORNTON, 41.
Indecent assault.
PP Constable Harper.
MR MOSELEY APPEARS FOR AND WITH THE DEFENDANT.
EDGAR HERBERT CUSACK on his oath saith.
I am labourer.
I reside at 31 Albert Street Erskineville.
I am 15 and 3 months old.
About 10 am on 27th May 1936 I went to the public lavatory at the Mortuary Station. While I was there defendant walked in. I was making water when he walked in. When the defendant came in he was about two yards away from me. About six feet from me. He undid the fly of his trousers. He had his person out. I did not see him make water. He started rubbing his person up with his hand. He then gave me a cigarette. He asked me if I would like a cigarette. I said “Yes, I don’t mind.” He gave me the cigarette and then he gave me a match to light it. His trousers were still undone at this time. He started rubbing his person again. I did my fly up and then walked outside. I was looking to see if the tram was coming in Regent Street. The defendant came out of the lavatory and said “Here is another cigarette.” I said “Yes please.” He said something about meeting me this afternoon and would go some place.
7
Then he said “How would you like that pulled of.” He did not make any sign to indicate what he meant. I said “I don’t think so.” He said “Oh! But you would not mind it would you.” I said “I might not.” He started talking about something. He was talking about a trip to Bathurst with some of his mates. I did not answer him. He just said that he went to Bathurst with some of his mates. There was some festival up there. He said while he was up there he went into a hotel and booked up and stayed there. One of his mates went into a bathroom and had a flip off. His other mates said would he like a root. He said “So do I.” He said he went into the bathroom and had a flip off too.
I said I felt tired and went over and leaned against the fence. Then he said something about he had shoes on and went into a lavatory up there. He had rubber soles on. He went back into the lavatory and I went into the lavatory with him and he started pulling me off. I was making water and he pulled his person out and started rubbing it again. I stopped making water and he started rubbing my person with his hand. That lasted a few minutes. He said “Can’t you imagine that going into a girl.” I said “Yes, in a way.” He stopped pulling my person just as two men came in. Before the men came in he said “I had better stop or someone might come in.” We went outside and I had another smoke. I walked up to tram stop and the police came along to the defendant and he walked with them to me. Before the police came he said “Where will I meet you this afternoon.” While we were in the lavatory and the defendant had hold of my person I did not try to get awa from him.
TO MR MOSELEY: The street was being repaired there. I was standing watching the men. That was before I went into the lavatory.
8
I did not go up and speak to him while the men were repairing the road. I did not ask him there for a cigarette. He did not give me a cigarette there where the men were working. It was raining in the morning that day. This was in the morning. I was not very wet. I did not say that I was going to walk home as I did not have my tram fare. I had my fare. Two-pence. I did not ask him for my fare. I had been working just previously. I did not tell him that I had lost my job. I told him that I lost my job because a man there was making improper suggestions to me. I told my mother that I lost it because my bike had gone. I have got a cousin. The boy, my cousin made improper suggestions to me. I told the defendant that he had promised me a rod and line if I would let him do something to him. That was the first time in the lavatory. The defendant told me that I ought to tell my mother that my cousin was a dirty disgusting brute. I did not say that I hit my cousin across the face. I said I hit him with a piece of wood. Because he made dirty suggestions to me. I said “If I tell Mother she will blame me as much as my cousin.” I said “It is a filthy thing that he is trying to do to you. Even the beasts of the field would not do it.” I followed the defendant into the lavatory the second time. About 20 minutes elapsed between the first time I went in and the second time. I was talking to him for twenty minutes. I don’t suffer from any trouble with my bladder. I made water twice. I made water on the second trip. In a way it would be unusual for me to go twice in 20 minutes. I’m not trying to get money out of the defendant and I’m putting the story up. I did not try to get my tram fare out of him. I did not show him my shoes. There was no talk about my shoes. I did not show him that my shoes were worn out.
9
Anyone could see that they were worn out. I did not put it to him to buy me a new pair of shoes at all. I was there when the police were talking to him at the station. I said we were in the lavatory twice. The defendant said we were in the lavatory once. He said “You little liar we were only in there once.” The defendant did not hold me there. I had already had a row with my cousin for a similar thing. He did not offer me anything to stop there. The defendant did not offer me anything to stop there.

RICHARD JOHN WILLIAMS on his oath saith: I am Police Constable stationed at No. 2 Police Station Sydney. About 11 am on the 27th May 1936 I went with Detective Sergeant Jones and Detective Bowers to the Regent Street City near the Mortuary Station. I there saw the defendant and a youth named Cusack standing on the footpath. They appeared to be in conversation. Some time afterwards I saw Cusack go in a lavatory and the defendant followed him in. About two minutes later they walked out of the lavatory and stood on the footpath. They then walked along Regent Street towards Cleveland Street. Detective Sergeant Jones and Detective Bowers followed them and brought them back. They were both taken to the Regent Street Police Station. I had a conversation with the youth Cusack at the police station. I then said to the defendant “This youth in whose company you have been has made a serious allegation against you, and in connection with that I’m going to ask you certain questions which you need not answer unless you desire to do so. But anything you do say may be given in evidence.” The defendant said “All right Officer. I did not interfere with him. I met him in Regent Street and he asked me for a cigarette. I made an appointment to meet him here this afternoon at 2 o’clock.” I said “He alleges that in the public pavatory [sic] you indecently exposed yourself to him and indecently interfered with him.” The defendant said “I admit that I was in the lavatory but I did not interfere with him. He was telling me about a girl with whom he had intercourse with in the country.” I said “If that was the nature of your conversation with him, why did you make an appointment with him for this afternoon?” The defendant made no reply just then and said about ten or fifteen seconds later “I wish you would give me a belting Officer. I am thoroughly ashamed of myself for doing what I have done.” He was charged with the present charge.
11
TO MR MOSELEY: He put his head in his hands when he was speaking. Perhaps I would have been able to get a confession. He followed the boy into the lavatory. The man followed the boy in. When I saw them go into the lavatory something came into my mind. There were other police officers there senior to me and I left it to them whether we would go over. I was not with Sergeant Jones then. I saw some other men go over to the lavatory. Two men went into the lavatory and as they went in the man and the boy walked out. I have never been inside the lavatory. I don’t know whether there are divisions. This is not a very frequented street on that side. It is opposite a garage. Malleys Hotel is further down. I only made inquiries of the man from himself. I will not admit that he had never been charged before. I don’t remember him calling the boy a liar at the police station. And him saying that they only went in once.
READ OVER AND ADHERED TO, HTG.
Police Prosecutor Harper submits that there is a case to answer and states that he has another witness Detective Sergeant Jones who has not been called today but who would corroborate the evidence already given.

LUCKLESS LEAP

Image: NSW State Library collection. Reproduction: Peter de Waal
Two youths met with accidental deaths yesterday.
Edgar [aka Edgar Herbert] Cusack, 19, of [31] Albert-street, Erskineville, was drowned in the upper end of the Lane Cove River near de Burgh’s Bridge, Ryde, when the chain on which he was swinging himself into the river snapped.
Robert Kirwan, 12, of Cook-road, Lindfield, fell from his bicycle in High-field-road, Lindfleld. He struck his head heavily and died at Royal North Shore Hospital, to which he was taken by Central District Ambulance.
Young Cusack, letting go the chain over the river, fell short and landed on a shelf of rock at the river’s edge.
He rolled into the muddy water before his companions realised what had happened.
Cusack was with a party of five other young militiamen from the 55th Battalion, Forest Lodge, who intended to camp the week-end.
MUD AND SNAGS
Immediately Edward Laing, of Theodore-street, Balmain, William Mergan, of Claremont-street, Balmain, and John Heasley, of Curtis-road, Balmain, began to dive into about 15ft. of muddy water and snags.
Harry Davies, of Massey-street, Gladesville, after 15 minutes diving, felt the body with his feet.
The brought it to the surface, where members of the Ryde Ambulance worked on it for three-quarters of an hour without effect.
A local resident stated that the chain had been attached to the tree for 10 years.

YOUTH DROWNED IN
SWIMMING POOL
———◦———
STUNNED when hit on the head with a piece of broken chain at De Burgh’s Bridge yesterday, Edgar Cusack, 19, of Albert-street, Erskineville, fell into the swimming pool and was drowned.
CUSACK, with some mates, went to De Burgh’s Bridge yesterday for a swim, and during the afternoon several people had used the chain on which to swing into the pool.
When Cusack tried to emulate them the chain snapped. His companions were unaware that he was injured.
When he did not come to the surface for some time, however, they dived in in an endeavor to find him.
Ryde police and ambulance officers had arrived when Cusack’s body was recovered. A quick examination showed that his collar-bone was broken.
Attempts to promote animation failed.

YOUTH DROWNED.
————
Edward Cusack, 19, of Albert Street, Erskineville, was drowned in a swimming pool near de Burgh’s bridge, Ryde, on Saturday afternoon, when a chain on which he was swinging, broke.
With five others, he went to the reserve near the swimming hole to camp for the week-end, and during the afternoon he was swinging on a chain that was fixed to a bough of a tree over the pool. The chain broke, and whether it struck him on the head or whether he fell on [his] head before entering the water, is not known. As soon as he was missed, however, his companion searched the pool, which is 15 feet deep, and John Davies, of Massey Street, Gladesville, recovered the body from the water.
Efforts at resuscitation failed and the body was taken to the Morgue.
