Linda Rose Brundell’s Ancestry

Although I have not been able to discover very much about Linda Rose Brundell, there was a wealth of information to be found relating to Linda’s parents and grandparents.  

Her grandparents were George Brundell and Eleanor Wood.  After their marriage they took up residence in what is now King William Street, Adelaide and grew potatoes on the site of the current Post Office. Once land was opened to settlement, they settled on a parcel of land two miles from Stansbury where they ran a sheep station.  They had two sons and two daughters from their union, one of which was George Brundell, junior. George Brundell was one of the first two farmer settlers in the area.  

The other early settler was Rev. Christian Teichelmann who built the first store in Stansbury and established and conducted the first Sunday School.  He also helped found the Methodist Church in Stansbury.

Christian Gottlob Teichelmann was a Lutheran Missionary born in 1807 in Saxony, Germany. He came to South Australia together with Klamor Wilhelm Schurmann on the recommendation of Augustus Ludwig Christian Kavel and George Fife Angas. They arrived onboard the 'Pestonjee Bomanjee' which also carried Governor Gawler. (And, which incidentally also brought George and Sarah Launder, another of my first Australian ancestors.)

Source : Christian Gottlob Teichelmann courtesy of Library of SA

Teichelmann started a school for Aborigines near the Adelaide Gaol. He lived with his wife on a farm near Morphett Vale and together they had 14 children. He retired to a farm near Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula. The missionaries’ joint book 'Outlines of a Grammar: Vocabulary and Phraseology of the Aboriginal Language of South Australia, Spoken by the Natives in and for Some Distance around Adelaide.

The two families, the Brundell’s and the Teichelmann’s, lived about a mile apart and so it was easy for George Brundell junior to court and marry Catherine Teichelmann in 1885 – these were Linda Rose Brundell’s parents.  Including, Linda Rose there were seven children from the marriage.

Even after her marriage to John Warren in 1906, Linda Rose maintained close contact with her parents, grand-parents and siblings, choosing to remain living in the Stansbury district and attending many family events.

Here are some of the many articles I found on Linda Rose Brundell’s family –

1951 – Re-Enactment of Brundell Settlement – Linda Rose Brundell’s Family

Stansbury - Jubilee Celebrations

The group of 'early settlers' were approaching Stansbury in Mr. George Gill's cutter, and a party of "aborigines" had settled themselves in a wurly on the seashore.

Despite wind-driven rain many people gathered on the shore where the Anderson's had actually landed in 1874. While the dinghy was being rowed in, Mr. Middleton (Head Teacher of the Stansbury School) spoke about Stansbury in the early days. He referred to the sheep station which reached right into where the town is now situated. He outlined briefly the story of the first two farmer settlers — Rev. Christian Teichelmann and Mr. George Brundell. The Rev. Teichelmann built the first store in Stansbury, conducted the first Sunday School and helped to found the Methodist Church.

These two families lived about a mile apart on land west of Klein's Point, and this made it easy for George Brundell, jnr., to court Cathie Teichelmann and finally to marry her. Three children of this marriage—Mr. Stan Brundell, Mrs. Jack Warren and Mrs. Harold Cornish—are still living at Stansbury.

When the men of the landing party had carried the woman, children, baby and the provisions ashore, Mr. Alec Anderson, leader of the party, approached a local resident and enquired about the "blackfellows." These had been nosing into the provisions, poking and pulling here and there, and carrying on a high-toned conversation about the white people who were still, to them, objects of curiosity. From the ensuing conversation it was discovered that the Anderson's had come from Morphett Vale, and the Heppenstall's had joined them at Port Noarlunga. This proved very fortunate as the Captain and Mate of their ship ("Sailor Prince") had imbibed freely from some wine casks and, under the influence, both wished to steer the boat in opposite directions. After some parleying, Mr. Charles Heppenstall, a seafaring man, was able to gain control of the wheel, and it was he who guided them to Stansbury. With many good wishes from the onlookers the party was packed into a neighbour’s spring cart and driven to their house.

After this landing had been re-enacted dinner was supplied by the ladies of the Progress Association, and over £12 was cleared. At 1.30 p.m. a number of children dressed in the uniforms of the 1905 Stansbury Brass Band, and carrying their band instruments, led the march to the jetty. They were followed by schoolchildren, girls in lace embroidered pinafores and boys in sailor collars, etc., of the 1905 period. After them came a number of children dressed as 1905 ladies.

A downfall of rain caused the plans to be quickly altered, and most of the children and spectators were placed under cover In keeping with the original ceremony, Mr. Foster expressed admiration for the courage of the Stansbury residents in forsaking the old jetty of 1877 and building this new jetty within thirty years. He promised a prosperous future and hoped that the new loading facilities would very soon repay the money and energy put into their construction. Amid the acclamation of the crowd, he declared the jetty open. The "Song of Australia" and the "National Anthem" concluded the ceremony.

The whole setting, programme and speeches were founded on historical records from the Adelaide Archives.

Thus, the progress of Stansbury over the fifty years was completed.

A man and his son were rescued after their boat overturned near the Bluff at Encounter Bay last Monday.

Fergus Warren, 53, linesman, of Fell Street, Yilki, and his son Richard, 13 of the same address were tending to craypots in surf between Wright Island and the Bluff Monday afternoon when their 16 ft. cabin boat overturned. They were thrown into the water.  Neither was wearing a life jacket.

Their plight was seen by Mrs. Tilbrook of Whaler’s Haven who called the Victor Harbour Police who then notified the Victor Harbour Yacht Club Rescue Squadron.

A rescue boat proceeded around Granite Island in rough seas to Wright Island where it was directed to the scene by radio by a member of the squad from the beach.

Meanwhile, in difficult conditions, local fishermen, Mr. Bill Ewen and Mr. Roger Tugwell, rescued Mr. Warren and his son, who had been clinging to their boat before the arrival of the rescue craft.  Mr. Warren suffered shock and exhaustion.

Although badly damaged the cabin boat was towed to shallow water where it was righted and refloated by the rescue boat crew.

Communications were controlled from the new operations room at the Victor Harbour Yacht Club and a recently installed telephone proved of great benefit in obtaining additional assistance.  Another rescue boat which was already at sea was notified by radio of the situation.

This was the ninth occasion this year that the rescue squadron had been summoned to help persons in trouble at sea.

ATTACKED BY ANGRY BULL - Man Injured Near Victor Harbour

While returning from Port Elliot on Friday, two employees of the Victor Harbour Electricity Company, Messrs Len Penalurick and Cyril Rumbelow, noticed a bull apparently on top of a man.

Seizing an axe, Mr. Rumbelow rushed across a paddock and found Mr. H. L. Dent, a farmer, of Port Elliot, being attacked by an infuriated Ayrshire bull.

Mr. Dent said that the bull had charged him while he was driving cows in the paddock, and he had hung on to the chain around his horns and held him in that position for at least a quarter of an hour before help arrived.

Mr. Dent was taken to hospital suffering from shock.

RUMBELOW— WARREN

The marriage of Daisy, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Warren, of Stansbury, to Cyril, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Rumbelow, of Encounter Bay, was solemnised at Pirie Street Methodist Church, July 27. Rev. Hambly officiated.

ARRIVED IN STATE 100 YEARS AGO

On 8th January, 1955, the Rumbelow family, of Yilki, Encounter Bay, will celebrate the centenary of the arrival in this district of Malin Rumbelow and his family in 1855. A large family re-union is expected to take place on the above date when a thanksgiving service will be held in the old homestead at Yilki, and later in the day a re-union picnic will be held on the beach in the vicinity of the Bluff. Celebrations will conclude with an open-air concert at night.

Malin Rumbelow, Snr. his wife, and nine children left their home in Bury near Middenhall, Suffolkshire, England, in 1854, aboard the barque "Pestongee Bomangee." They arrived at Port Adelaide on October 7th, where they stayed for three months. In early January, 1855, their daughter Alice, married a sailor, Cain Jelliff by name, and the whole party including the newly-weds, set out per bullock dray for the whaling settlement of Encounter Bay, being persuaded in this venture by a Mr. Mark Last, a cousin, and friend of the family.

This trip took a fortnight, and in those days was a hazardous journey, many wild blacks roamed the area covered, and roads were mere bush tracks, or non-existent. Considerable hard-ship was therefore experienced by the little party before they reached their destination. The family consisted of six daughters and three sons. The daughters, several of whom married twice, were Alice, married to Mr. Cain Jelliff, who later was drowned whilst fishing near the Murray mouth; Mahalia, married Mr. Weymouth who was accidentally killed a few years later, she then married E. R. Bolger. She died a few years later, leaving children by both husbands.

Mr. E. R. Bolger then married Alice, who by this time was a widow. Sarah married Mr. William Watson, Emma married Mr. Thomas Watson. Caroline married Mr. John Cake-bread, Sophia married Mr. W. Robinson. Of three sons, only Malin survived. Godfrey and David died at early ages and were buried in the old churchyard cemetery in which the Rev. Ridgeway Newland's chapel known as the Tabernacle stood.

When the family arrived at Encounter Bay they found the whaling industry well established, and Malin Rumbelow, Senior., found employment for a time in the store shed of the Whaling Company and helped in the cutting up of the last of these monsters of the deep caught by this company at Encounter Bay. It is of interest to note that when whaling was abandoned in these regions, one piece of equipment came into the hands of the Rumbelow family. This was a whaling gun which fired an explosive lance into the whale. This gun was later presented to the S.A. Museum.

Eight years after the Rumbelow family arrived in South Australia young Malin, then a youth of 16 years of age, joined his brother-in-law, Mr. Cain Jelliff, in a fishing partnership at Encounter Bay. The young man proved an apt pupil, and a boat-man by nature. In those days fish were plentiful, also crayfish. Mrs. Cain Jelliff (Alice) helped the two partners by doing much of the selling of the fish, hawking it in the metropolitan area. Young Malin soon decided to marry and took unto himself a wife, a daughter of a local farmer, Mary Glassenbury, who was born at Hope Valley, S.A. From this happy union nine children were born (five boys and four girls) — William Henry, Malin, Godfrey, Cain, and Samuel. The latter died at the early age of five years. The girls were Alice, who remained single; Rose (Mrs. John Strawbridge; Jane, who married Joshua Tugwell; and Grace (Mrs. David Buck).

Some years after the commencement of the partnership, Cain Jelliff was lost overboard from his boat, and was drowned. He was later picked up on the Coorong not far from the Murray Mouth. The fishing business was continued by Malin, and later became known as M. Rumbelow and Sons. Young Godfrey Rumbelow replaced his Aunt Alice, selling and hawking the fish, carrying much of it through the city with horses and van. When the railway commenced, the fish was sent through to E. Daw's Central fish market.

Godfrey found the sea and fishing not to his liking, and for many years carried on a dairy and milk-round in the locality and Victor Harbour. Henry, Malin Jnr. and Cain proved first-class fishermen and skilful boatmen. Malin was an exceptionally fine boatman, and often skippered the cutter Ferret to victory at the Victor Harbour New Year's Day Sports, where a fishing boat sailing race was an annual event. The Rumbelow father and sons were of a jovial and friendly disposition and became popular with visitors and tourists and were largely responsible for the beginning of the tourist trade which now flourishes at Victor Harbour and the locality.

Henry and Cain became renowned fishermen in the South. Henry had to his credit, 2 record hauls of mullet. 250 doz. at one time, and 300 doz. at another time. The partners owned several very fine fishing cutters, the best-known being the Rambler, and the Ferret. The Rambler made many fishing trips to Kangaroo Island and many exciting and adventurous excursions were undertaken in this boat. The Rambler is still fishing in South Australian waters under different owners. The Ferret, after many years of useful service during which time she was twice rebuilt, featured in some very adventurous incidents, missions of mercy, and pleasure trips on the River Murray when skippered by Henry Rumbelow's son, Walter. She featured in one of the few tragedies which befell the family. While on a fishing trip along the coast on December 23rd, 1932, she was wrecked. Two sons of the original partners, Walter and David Rumbelow were drowned; Lionel Rumbelow, the other occupant at the time, had a marvellous escape from death, and still lives to take the silver harvest from the deep.

In April 1905, (David) Malin Rumbelow, who was almost a giant in stature, and loved by everyone who knew him, was brought home dead, having suffered a heart seizure whilst on a fishing excursion with the Rambler. He left a widow, and eight children, the youngest not a fortnight old. The children left were Charles, Susan Rose, Ivy (Mrs. F. Bartel), David, Ernest, Eric, Lionel, and Malin. This tragedy happened on April 10th, 1905, Malin Rum-below, the father of the victim of this tragedy and son of the first Malin Rumbelow, had been suffering from ill health for several years, bowed under the heavy blow of the loss of his son, laid his burden down on July Ist, 1905, and he too was carried to his grave to lay at rest with his father and sons.

For here let it be noted that Malin Rumbelow, Senior. and his wife (the original pioneers of the family) are buried in the Victor Harbour cemetery where the other members of the Rumbelows who have passed on are laid to rest, with the exception of the two young children of Malin Rumbelow Senior and Frank Rumbelow, who was killed in action in France in 1917. The double bereavement in the family meant a very heavy blow to the little fishing community and though Henry and Cain remained to carry on the fishing business the health of the former became very indifferent, and in 1907 the Doctor advised him to leave the sea,  This he did and took up farming on Narrung taking his family there on August 7th, 1907. Thus, the partnership of M. Rumbelow and Sons was dissolved. Henry left the sea for some years, but after World War I, he transferred his farm to his son, Herbert, and with his son Walter, fished in Lake Alexandrina until 1924 when he returned to Encounter Bay. He died on March 10th, 1928, leaving a widow, and ten children. They were, Caroline (Mrs. Jos. Shannon), Mary (Mrs. Alf Bird), Henry, Walter, Ruby (Mrs. Jack Bottrill), Herbert, Lawrence, Thelma (Mrs. W. Montgomerie), Freda (Mrs. Ernest McKeon), and Dulcie (Mrs. Keith Watson).

Cain Rumbelow remained to fish at Encounter Bay when Henry left in 1907, and purchased that very fine fishing cutter, the Swallow, which he took on many fishing trips to Kangaroo Island, and along the local coast. He also sailed the Swallow to victory in many of the sailing races at Victor Harbour on New Years’ Day. Cain died in 1952. He left three children, Hubert, Laura (Mrs. F. Kemp) and Cyril.

STATE-WIDE POLICE SEARCH FOR FATHER AND SON

The disappearance from Strathalbyn on Sunday of two men, father and son, and the finding yesterday of the father's car abandoned near his home, has led to a state-wide search by police.

The two men are Victor George Tugwell, 63, widower, a farmer, of Langhorne's Creek and Victor Neil Raymond Tugwell. 29, farmer, of Mount Barker. The younger man is the father of two children, one of whom is only a few weeks old.  Both men left their homes on Sunday morning and were seen in Strathalbyn, where they are believed, to have met to discuss business.  Neil Tugwell operated a share farm at Strathalbyn with his father until about two. years ago. Mr. Tugwell now works the farm with his son-in-law, Mr. Arthur Ernest Warren.

Stains on Car    The father's car was found yesterday about half a mile from his home and facing in the direction of Langhorne's Creek. There were stains on the side of the vehicle and the dashboard was broken.  Relatives and neighbours joined Sergeant J. Schwerdt and Constable c. Brebner. of Strathalbyn, and Detectives C. Cameron-Smith, J. Arthurson and Fingerprint Expert D. Abi in an unsuccessful search around Langhorne's Creek until nightfall yesterday.

Allegations that Victor Neil Raymond Tugwell, 29, of Mount Barker, had attacked his father and tied him with wire were made by Police Prosecutor E. U Bonython in the police court yesterday.

Tugwell appeared on two counts of having unlawfully assaulted his father, Victor George Tugwell, 63, of Langhorne's Creek, occasioning him actual bodily harm, at Langhorne's Creek on November 18, last year and on May 4. The hearing was adjourned until today.

Defendant appeared in court with a handkerchief knotted round his neck above a collar and tie, and with the empty left sleeve of his coat tucked in his pocket.

Inspector Bonython said that on or about November 18 the defendant and his father had an argument over a binder. The defendant attacked his father, tied him up with wire and took him to Mount Barker police station, where he contacted Sgt. Collins, who found the father tied up and with wire around his throat. A doctor found superficial abrasions on the neck and chin. Police at that stage did not take any action, Inspector Bonython said.

Later, another doctor examined the father and he reported him to be suffering from injuries received when he had been tied up. Nearly six months later, the prosecutor continued, defendant and his father were reported missing. After extensive enquiries the couple were located interstate.

Frightened    On that occasion, Tugwell senior was again attacked by his son and received a swollen eye and was forcibly put into defendant's utility and taken to Hay in NSW. All the time the father was frightened of his son. He had purposely written a number of cheques to guide police in their search.

Dr. S. C. M. Downing, of Mount Barker, said he examined Tugwell senior at the police station on November 18. He had superficial abrasions on the left side of his neck and chin.

Cross-examined by Mr. F. B. Moran, who with Mr. J. O. O'Sullivan, appeared for the defendant. Dr. Downing said that a few days after attending the father he attended the son for septic tonsils. He had not heard defendant say his father had assaulted him.

Dr. J. Fairlie of Strathalbyn, said he examined Tugwell senior about November 21 and he was suffering from traumatic laryngitis. He made several later examinations and he believed the thyroid cartilage had been cracked. Some degree of violent contact would have been necessary to cause the injuries. The injury could have been caused by walking into a clothes-line. Witness had treated defendant for nose trouble, but he could not say if defendant had then said the trouble had been caused by a blow.

Mediator Alfred Melville Clark, bank manager, of Strathalbyn, said the father and son had share-farmed together for some time, but had ceased partnership. He saw both men at Strathalbyn on May 4, where, at their request, he acted in a private capacity as mediator during a two-hour interview. The son claimed property and implements worth about £7,000 from his father, who had admitted liability to less than £100. Witness said he told the two men their claims were so far apart that the only authority competent to judge was a court.

Mr. Moran, witness said a claim for half the farm was the largest part of the son's claims made on May 4.  Defendant had said that as a young boy his father did not pay him anything and had not allowed him to go to school. Neither or the two men would give way in their dispute. They had left the bank together and departed in their respective vehicles. Mr. Brebner, of Echunga, said that he went to a farm at Langhorne's Creek on November 18, where he found marks on the ground near a binder, and tractor, as though a struggle had taken place.

Distressed   About 2.45 p.m. Tugwell, senior arrived in a taxi and a few minutes later defendant arrived in his own car. The father appeared very distressed. There were marks on his throat and on the side of his face. Witness said to defendant 'Why are you making all his trouble with your father? He is an old man and you have knocked him around a bit too much today.' Defendant replied, 'I only did it in self-defence. He kept assaulting me while I was trying to repair my own binder. Every time I went near it, he kept pushing me away. He has always done the same to me.'

Witness said that when he asked defendant why he had tied his father up, defendant said that when he was young, he had been tied up by his father. When asked if it was necessary to tie his father up in self-defence, defendant said, 'Well, I might as well go to gaol. The police will look into our other family matters if I do. I have been pushed round all my life and I am sick of it. I have been robbed of all my interests by my father and he is now trying to do me out of other interests on the farm.'

Cross-examined, witness said Tugwell was sobbing when he arrived at the farm and had said defendant had tied him up with wire and twisted it behind his neck. On the way to Mount Barker police station Neil had claimed ownership of a binder. After a discussion between defendant's son-in-law and the two Tugwells, it was decided the binder would remain on the property until the dispute was settled.

Collapsed   Sgt. Collins, of Mount Barker, said Tugwell, senior collapsed when he was released from the car at the police station. Tugwell senior, bound with wire and twine, had his feet on the front seat of the car and his head in the back. Defendant, who was with him. said he wanted his father arrested because he had assaulted him with a torch.

Defendant had said - He has pinched my binder. Arthur Ernest Warren, who share farming with his father-in-law, Tugwell, senior, said he had bought a binder and tractor from him and several times defendant had come to the farm and claimed it as his. On the night of November 15 defendant told him at the farm that he had taken the binder out of the district.  On November 17, witness recovered the binder on a back road. Witness said that on May 1, the day after the Tugwells were to have met at a bank in Strathalbyn, he found his father-in-law's car down the road with the dashboard broken, wires pulled out and spark plugs disconnected. He did not see his father-in-law until some days later at Hay.

Mr. Moran— In discussing the trip to Hay did Tugwell, senior say he had played billiards with his son at Renmark, had eaten at cafes and stayed at hotels?— Yes.

STRATHALBYN

Victor George Tugwell, 63, farmer, of Langhorne Creek, told Strathalbyn Police Court today of a struggle with his son before the drove to Renmark early this month.

His son, Victor Neil Raymond Tugwell, 30, plumber, of Mount Barker, was charged before Mr. E. H. Rossiter, JP, with having, at Langhorne Creek, on November 18 and May 4, assaulted his father, occasioning him actual bodily harm., It was alleged the son had forcibly taken his father to Hay (NSW) before they were found by police. Tugwell, Senior., was allowed to sit in the witness box.  Inspector E. L. Bonython said the witness was not feeling up to standard. Tugwell is a greying man of slight build. Tugwell said he was wounded in the arm and head in World War I and still received a big war pension. Asked to speak louder, he said he was unable to. His throat had not healed from the injury in November and he had been to a doctor five times about it.

Tugwell said his son had lived with him until a year ago. At the start his son was allowed 12/6d. a week and later got a quarter share of the farm. As he got older, he got a third and paid a portion of expenses. When he left he was getting a half share.  He left because he was not working satisfactorily. He said he would claim wages back to the time he was 21. Witness said: "Don't come with those Communist ideas. Get off the place." After his son left, his son-in-law, Arthur Ernest Warren, had worked on the farm.  

After a dispute about a binder on November 18, his son lit an oxy-acetylene torch to cut the binder from a tractor. He (Tugwell, Senior.) kicked the torch off and put it out, but his son persisted in relighting it. They struggled, fell to the ground, and Tugwell grabbed his father by the throat, nearly choking him, he said. "Will you give it to me now?" the son said. Tugwell, Senior. continued: "He wrapped baling wire round my face, left arm, and body, and tied my arms and legs with twine. "My mouth was partly open with a piece of wire in it. I was in some pain.  My chin was tied down into my neck. "Then he put me in the car. When he was on the district road he said he had a good mind to take me to Poltallach to show them what a …. of a man they were dealing with. I had a contract at Poltallach to harvest primrose seed. "He drove to his yard at Mount Barker and left me in the sun. I was there about two hours, then he took me to the police station. The sergeant told me to get out of the car, but I did not move. He opened the door and said, 'You are tied up.' "He untied me, but when my feet touched the ground they would not carry me. I fell down. "The doctor told me to go to bed for a few days. I went back to the paddock." Tugwell, Senior. said he had not prosecuted his son because both his daughter and his son's wife were expecting babies.

On May 2 his son asked for settlement, and arrangements were made to see the bank manager on the Sunday. Agreement was not reached, and driving home he (Tugwell, Senior.) stopped to put a straying bull back into a paddock or drive it home. His son stopped behind him.

While driving the bull his son rushed at him, Tugwell said. He dodged and went back to his car, but his son took the ignition key out, disconnected the plugs, and ripped the wiring off the panel. "He was in a temper,” Tugwell, continued. "He rushed at me and hit me on the face. I had a job to stand on my feet. He hit me on the head. Then he grabbed me and bashed my head against his utility. My left eye was cut open. He pushed me into the utility. He drove through Langhorne Creek to Murray Bridge, then along Karoonda road.

"I don't know where we went, but he pulled off the road into the scrub for an hour or two until it was nearly dark. I had a headache and did not feel well. Later we pulled up at Halido. for water, then stopped for petrol in darkness. but I don't know where. We slept in the car that night. He ran the side of the car alongside a bank so that I could not open it. I asked to see a doctor. My head was aching so much I thought I might have a haemorrhage. He said, 'You would not take me to a doctor when I was bad.'

"I was frightened to antagonise him and had to go with him because we were mostly in scrub with only an occasional house and I did not know the locality. The next night we went through Paringa.to Renmark, had tea in a restaurant, and slept in the utility some miles out of town. The first meal I had after leaving on the Sunday was at Renmark the following night. He gave me two biscuits on the way, and I bought some fritz at Paringa. At that stage I was trying to keep friendly with him in the .hope of being picked up."

Tugwell, Senior., continued: "We played billiards in Renmark on the Monday night. Next day I paid for a gasket at Renmark with a cheque from Strathalbyn to leave a clue where I had been. By now I had a pain in a hip and had a job to walk. I did not see the chance to make a break in the condition I was in, and I did not tell anyone in Renmark the position because there was nobody suitable to tell. He drove across the NSW border and we slept in the utility just out of Gol Gol that night. About 20 miles from Balranald next day he stopped on the roadside for a couple of hours and spoke of the financial difficulties. He named a mediator and I agreed to him.  His demeanour to me changed, and I told him I wanted to be home by Saturday night as I wanted to go to the cemetery on Mother's Day. At Balranald we asked the policeman where we could camp for the night. I did not tell the policeman because I did not think him a capable man to do anything if I told him. I did not then feel in any danger from my son as long as I went his way. Next day we went on but were told the clay roads were impassable, so went to Hay, intending to go to Broken Hill.

At Hay I sent a telegram to my daughter. We went north to Booligal, but the utility got stuck, and we went to the hotel in a station jeep. Police saw us there in the morning.”

Cross-examined by Mr. F. Moran (for Tugwell, jun.) Tugwell said his son had two children, one aged three and the other one month.

Mr. Moran - After your son was 10 years old you let him go to school only two days a week?

Tugwell - No.

Moran - Before he was 14 he worked three days a week on your farm?

Tugwell - You are wrong again.

Moran - Do you remember arranging for him to get lessons by correspondence?

Tugwell - Yes.

Moran -  Why?

Tugwell - On doctor's orders.

Moran - Did he have a heart complaint?

Tugwell - I don't know.

Moran - You weren't interested enough to ask the doctor?

Tugwell -His mother was looking after him.

Moran - Until he was 15 he worked for you for his keep without wages?

Tugwell -No.

Moran - When he was 15 did you pay him 4/ a week?

Tugwell - I don't remember when it was. I think his first wage was 12/6.

Moran - Do you remember beating your son with your fists about 1938 and as a result you had to get a doctor for him?

Tugwell - That was when he took to me.

Moran - Would you agree you have a very bad temper?

Tugwell – NO.  It depended what I was put out over.

Moran - Until he was 17 you would not permit your son to go to the pictures?

Tugwell - As long as I can remember he could go so long as he had someone to go with.

Tugwell said he hit his son with his fists only once. That was about 1943, when his son shaped up with his fists and came at him. He was not afraid of his son.

Ordered To Stay Away From Father

Victor Neil Raymond Tugwell, 29, plumber, of Mount Barker, was committed for trial last night on two charges alleging assault on his father, Victor George Tugwell, 63, farmer, of Langhorne's Creek. He was charged with having assaulted his father, occasioning actual bodily harm, at Langhorne's Creek on November 18 last year, and on May 4. Tugwell, jun., was allowed bail of £200, with two sureties of £50 each, a condition being that he keep away from his father until the case was settled.

Tugwell, Senior. caused a stir in court yesterday morning when he refused to answer a question about a certain document by Mr: F. B. Moran, who appeared for the defendant. Told by counsel he could be held in contempt of court, Tugwell, Senior. still refused to answer the question, but after a 10-minute adjournment supplied the answer. Tugwell, Senior., who had spent five hours in the box on Thursday, remained on the stand under cross-examination by Mr. Moran for more than two hours yesterday. Seating accommodation in the body of the small courtroom was fully occupied.

Denies Statement   Continuing his evidence under cross-examination by Mr. Moran, Tugwell Senior. denied saying 'Where shall we go?' after leaving Langhorne's Creek on the Sunday.

Mr. Moran— Was there any talk about going to Sydney?

Tugwell - Not that I know of.

Moran - Did your son, on Monday morning at Malpas, get some water and leave you with the man who towed you into the town?

Tugwell - Yes, for a few seconds. He got the water and ran back with it.

Moran - Did you tell this man about being abducted by your son?

Tugwell - No.

Witness said they had reached Renmark late on the Monday afternoon and had a meal together at a cafe.  He did not remember asking a policeman the way to the billiard saloon. A man gave them directions. Tugwell Senior. said he and his son had played two games of billiards. He had not approached anyone in the billiard hall to tell them his son had abducted him, and after leaving the hall slept in his son's car.  After a discussion of figures for several hours the following day, he and the defendant had returned to Renmark, where a new head gasket was bought, witness paying for it by cheque. He denied he had walked around Renmark while the gasket was being fitted.

Stopped By Police   About 30 miles beyond Mildura on Tuesday night a man in a utility had stopped them and said he wanted to get a message to Mildura as he had blown a big-end, witness added. On the outskirts of Mildura, they were stopped by a policeman. There had been an accident earlier, and his son had got out of the utility and spoken to the policeman on the road behind the vehicle.

Mr. Moran — At the scene of the accident why didn't you get out of the buckboard and scream for help?

Witness— I did not feel in a fit condition. Witness said his eyes were still blackened, but no one at Renmark had asked him how he got the shiners.  About 34 miles before Balranald he and his son had another talk about their dispute. He denied telling his son he did not like fighting with him but admitted this might have been said later at Balranald. The defendant might have said he did hot like fighting as the witness was his only next-of-kin apart from his wife. He denied telling the defendant he would assist him with his next tractor instalment. They were on friendlier terms at this stage.

Mr. Moran — Do you remember telling your son you had had papers typed transferring the farm to him?

Witness— That is only part of it. One of the conditions was that the defendant should agree to the terms that were printed. He did not tell his son what the terms were.

Mr. Moran— Was anything said about payments to you for the rest of your life being one of the conditions? —

Tugwell - There may have been.

'The Conditions'   Witness said the papers had been destroyed and that he had told the defendant about the conditions 'to give him a chance to see what he would have got if he had done his work.' Asked by Mr. Moran who had typed the transfer papers, witness refused to answer. Inspector Bonython, by consent, intervened at this juncture and told the witness that unless he answered the question he could be imprisoned for contempt of court. Witness again refused to answer. Following an adjournment of the court for 10 minutes, witness returned to the box and told Mr. Moran that the papers had not been typed. 'I typed them in my mind,' he said.

Mr. Moran — You said earlier that the agreement had been destroyed?

Tugwell - I made it out in my mind. I destroyed the memory of it.

Asked by Mr. Moran why he had told his son about the paper, witness said:  'To let him have an idea of what he had lost through not behaving himself.  Witness said that on Thursday night when he and the defendant had stayed at an hotel at Booligal he had not complained to anyone there about his son taking him away or that his son had assaulted him.

Mr. Moran— did someone from a Melbourne newspaper ring you on Thursday night?

Tugwell - I do not know who it was.

Police Search   Witness denied telling his son after leaving the telephone that the police were searching for them or that the defendant had said:  'Surely the two of us can go for a holiday without everyone tracking us down.'  A police sergeant had showed him a newspaper cutting and that had been the first indication he had had that the police were looking for him. The defendant might have known, because he was getting the newspapers.

Mr. Moran — Did you ask Hay police to lay a charge against your son?

Tugwell - No. At that stage witness was not prepared to forgive his son, but was prepared to discuss their dispute further with a Mr. Prest as mediator.

Mr. Moran— If you had agreed to do that, you would not have wanted to see your son in trouble with the law, would you?

Tugwell - Yes.

Moran - Do you still want to see your son punished by the law?

Tugwell - To a certain extent, that he keep the peace towards me or anyone with me.

Police Sergeant John Schwartz gave evidence of having on November 16 interviewed the defendant at the Tugwell home at Langhorne's Creek regarding the removal of a binder from the farm the previous night. Questioned by Mr. Moran, Sgt. Schwartz said that at that time he did not feel like proceeding with a larceny charge against the defendant and had advised him to seek legal advice.

Disappearance   Tugwell, Senior's disappearance had been reported to him by Tugwell's son-in-law, Arthur Ernest Warren, about 12.45 p.m. on May 5, witness added. Witness described how Tugwell, Senior's car was found damaged beside the Langhorne's Creek road that day. He had found a fountain pen six or seven yards behind the car. Witness disagreed with Mr. Moran that a person running through the grass could easily trip and fall. He did not know to whom the pen belonged. Detective Cecil Laurance Cameron-Smith said in evidence that he had interviewed the defendant after he and his father had been found at Booligal, NSW. Tugwell, jun. had said his father had not disappeared. 'We just went for a ride.' He did not know how the dashboard of his father's car was smashed, and did not remember pulling any wires out under the dashboard. He had admitted 'cracking' his father on the Sunday afternoon because he had wanted him to discuss business. Defendant denied forcing his father into the utility, and said Tugwell, Senior. had got in himself. 'We were just going for a trip until we came to some finality,' he added. His father could have got away at Renmark if he had wanted to.

'Never Thought'   Det Cameron-Smith said that when asked if he knew his father had an appointment with an Adelaide solicitor to sign a complaint against him, defendant had replied: 'I knew Dad had to see the solicitor within 28 days of my last child being born.' Asked whether he had taken his father away to prevent this, defendant had replied: 'I never thought about that.' He only found out they had been reported missing on Wednesday evening when they reached Balranald where he identified himself to a constable and asked where board and lodging could be found. The defendant denied threatening to take him north of Cairns and hand his father over to the Communists or to blind him with white hot irons. They had made up their minds to return home before reaching Balranald, but the roads were so bad they had to keep going.

Cross-examined at length by Mr. Moran on his notes of the interview with the defendant, witness admitted that he had not asked the defendant what had happened on the Sunday morning at Langhorne's Creek. He denied that the defendant had said his father used to boast of his ability as a boxer and that he used to train people for boxing.

'Sore Nose'   Witness believed that defendant had mentioned a sore nose in the car on the way back from Hay and led him to believe that the injury was caused by the father.

Mr. Moran— Do you agree that a man who abducted another man would be unlikely to take that man to play billiards in a billiards hall?

Witness— Unusual people do unusual things. He agreed that this would afford a captured man an opportunity of escaping if he wanted to. Asked was it not fantastic that in a town the size of Renmark a man could not obtain assistance to escape from his gaoler, witness said it depended on the individual himself and whatever his fears might be whether they are reasonable or not. The defendant had told him that his father had hit him in his youth, but the witness did not remember the defendant saying his father had once jabbed a pitchfork through his hand.
