Mr. Wilfred Howard Hickson, manager of the Zealandia Club, Wellington, was the victim of an unusual fatal accident yesterday. Mr. Hickson arrived at the club's premises, and found that he had forgotten the keys. He proceeded to climb over a partition in order to reach his office. Before jumping down on the other side, Mr. Hickson rested his foot on the lock of a door, but his foot slipped and his leg went through a glass panel. Mr. Hickson, who is a big man, fell heavily, and his leg was so badly cut that he died subsequently from loss of blood.
