“THERE is no doubt he had been leading a double life,” said the Mid-Cheshire Coroner. Mr. R. A. Daniel, at the Sale inquest, to-day, on Company Quartermaster Sergeant Harold George Aughpin (47), whose decapitated body was found on the railway near Dane Road Station, Sale.

Mrs. Nellie Mabel Aughpin, of Caxton House, Church-street, Windermere, said she last saw her husband on April 7 when he arrived home unexpectedly. She told him the police had been inquiring about him and he left saying he would fetch his case, but did not return.

“Compassionate” Leave

In answer to the coroner, Mrs. Aughpin said he did not disclose that he had any trouble with another woman.

Lieutenant Thomas Henry Mason, adjutant of a training school, said Aughpin was granted compassionate leave.

Aughpin had an offence of irregular conduct concerned with canteen stock against him when he returned. During the last few weeks he had been slacking in his duties.

Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, of Fairlawn-street, Moss Side, Manchester, said she had known Aughpin about 6 months and she and her husband had had “a few words.” She left home about 10 weeks ago.

Alleged Threats

Aughpin several times threatened to do something to himself if she went back to her husband.

The coroner said in the letter Aughpin asked Mrs. Robinson to forget him as he was “really a rotter” and wished her every happiness with her husband, who, he wrote, had acted very decently towards him.

The coroner recorded verdict of suicide with insufficient evidence to show the state of his mind.
