Report from the Shipley Times 10 June 1939: -

SALTAIRE CYCLIST’S DEATH

We must not allow inquiries of this kind to develop into trials of civil liability,” said the Coroner (Mr. J. E. Brown-Humes) at the Darlington inquest on Monday (5 June), on Charles Henry Clements, aged 44, woolcomber, of 36 George Street Saltaire.

Clements was fatally injured in a collision between his bicycle and a motor-car on the Richmond-Reeth road on Whit Monday (29 May).

The jury returned verdict of “Accidental death.”

Add freeing the jury the Coroner said: “There is tendency for these inquiries to be used for the purpose of apportioning blame on one side or the other, and it is necessary that you and I should remember our duty. That duty to see what is the cause of death and whether there is any criminal negligence to be imputed to any outside party.”

The driver the car involved in the accident, Mr. Hugh Ralph Houston, of 398 Coniscliffe Road, Darlington, was represented by Mr. C. A. Hinks. Mr. J. R. Waite appeared for Clements’s relatives.

Luke Murray, aged 15, of 10 Hirstwood Crescent. Shipley, said that about 6.50 p.m. on Whit Monday he, Clements, and Clements’ son, Charles, were cycling to Reeth from Richmond, where they had attended the cyclists' meet, Charles was leading, and Mr. Clements was behind witness. They were approaching a bend in the road near Gill Book bridge when he saw three cars coming in the opposite direction.

“The first car passed very close to me;” said Murray. “I heard a crash, and on turning round I saw Mr. Clements was lying on the road.”

Robert William Alton, of Stanhope Avenue, West Hartlepool, said that he had his ear parked by the roadside when he saw three cyclists going towards Reeth at a reasonable speed. A car was coming from the opposite direction, also at a reasonable speed.

“I should say without hesitation that the car was too far out,” added Alton. “If there had been white lines on the bridge he would have been two or three feet over it.”

Mr. Hinks submitted that if Alton's estimates of the position of the ear and the cycle were right they would not have collided on the road, which was 19ft. wide.

Harry Popplewell, master window cleaner, of 31, Silverhill Drive, Bradford, told the Coroner that he had 44 years’ experience as a cyclist. He had been travelling behind the three cars toward Richmond when the accident occurred. His opinion was that the cyclist was travelling a little too fast round the corner and thus got into a wobble. If had not turned in toward the centre of the road would have gone into stone wall.

The Coroner pointed out that Mr. Alton and Mr. Popplewell, entirely independent witnesses, gave different views as to who was to blame. It was not the jury’s task to decide between the witnesses.

In his will, Charles left £181 4s 1d to his widow. She died 21 October1978 at 20 Mary Street.

Excerpt:

DEAR FRIENDS,

It was my earnest desire and purpose to have moved away from the district, without troubling you with any account of the circumstances which led me to resign my charge; but the attempt to misrepresent these, and to damage my character and ministerial reputation, has been, and still continues to be, so persistent.... ... The treatment I have lately received – the manner in which the affairs of the Church have been managed, and the want of an impartial tribunal for the settlement of cases like my own, have been largely instrumental in driving me from the denomination to which I have belonged for so many years....
