On this week in... 1946

Stand-over man

On 24 October 1946, Raymond Kendall Daniel was tried at the Brisbane Supreme Court for the murder of Jack Hodge of Corinda. Police alleged that on August 19 Hodge had visited Daniel at Daniel’s West End home, and while there Daniel had become violent in an attempt to induce Hodge to sign over a £3500 purchase option on a hotel at Wondai. Daniel, business manager for a dress shop, was portrayed as a stand-over man with connections to the notorious Sydney suburb of Kings Cross. Daniel and his wife claimed that the intoxicated Hodge had sustained the injury to his head of which he later died after falling over while visiting their lavatory. Daniel was found not guilty.
