HIS LAST CHARGE

CLUE TO SUICIDE CONSTABLE’S WORRY
” All of a’work with the nerves, ” as a comrade phrased it, as the result of the escape of a prisoner under his charge, Constable J. Gillanders, St. Kilda watchhousekeeper, shot himself in the head at the inquest which was held on June 20 at the Alfred Hospital.
Mr T. Allen, J.P., returned a finding that Gillanders died from a gunshot wound in the head, self-inflicted.
“In my opinion,” he added, “it was caused through mental worry. There is no evidence to show the state of Gillanders’ mind at the time.”
Sergeant D. Kennedy stated that at 4 p.m. on June 18 Constable Gillanders reported to him that a prisoner named Arthur Waghorn had escaped from the lock-up. The prisoner was re-arrested shortly afterwards. On the same evening witness requested Constable Gillanders to furnish a report regarding the escape.
At 8.45a.m. next day Gillanders did not report for duty, and witness sent Senior-constable Hore to ascertain why he was absent. Hore subsequently informed him that Gillanders complained of nervous prostration, and that he would probably come on duty later in the day.
At about 2 p.m. that day witness requested Constable Matthews to inform Gillanders that he would have to go to the depot hospital, as he had not furnished a medical certificate. Matthews returned, and said Gillanders was not prepared to go to the hospital just then. Gillanders decided to go to the hospital at about 3.30 p.m.
Sergeant Kennedy, continuing, said that when he entered his office on June 19 he found the resignation of Gillanders on the table. He did not know who put it there.

It was also reported that his daughter saw him with the revolver but before she could run to him, he put the weapon to his temple and fired, dying tow hours later in Alfred Hospital.

It is with the deepest regret that we wish to advise the peaceful passing of Geoff Williamson, former Olympian and Leichhardt’s Vice President, passed away peacefully in Longueville Private Hospital late yesterday the 17th September ( 2009 ) aged 86 years.
Geoffrey joined Leichhardt Rowing Club as a coxswain before the Second World War.
After active War service, Geoff returned to Rowing as an oarsman and became part of Professor Frank Cotton’s contribution to Sports Science in the 1950’s.
Apart from many State Championship wins, Geoff represented New South Wales in the Kings Cup in 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955 and 1956.
He represented Australia in the Olympic Men’s Eight in 1952 (Helsinki) and 1956 (Melbourne) in the Coxed Four. Geoff also represented Australia in the Eights at the Vancouver Empire Games in 1954.
He continued to be a strong supporter of Club rowing and will be fondly remembered as a much respected Life member and Vice President of the Leichhardt Rowing Club.
His career as a Police Officer saw him move through the ranks to “Officer in Charge of the Parramatta District until his retirement many years ago.
Always the gentleman, Geoff worked continuously for Leichhardt Rowing Club and will be sadly missed.
The funeral for Geoff will take place at 10.30am on Thursday, 24th September at St Charles Catholic Church, Corner Charles and Victoria Road Ryde.
The funeral notice will be in the papers on 22nd September.
May Geoff rest in peace
