Death of Mr. Walter W. Capper Shortly before 2 o clock yesterday afternoon the death of a well known and respected resident of Newcastle, Mr. Walter W. Capper, solicitor, took a majority of citizens by surprise, and caused a feeling of sincere regret among a very large circle of his friends and the public generally. The deceased gentleman, admittedly one of the leading legal talent of the district, had been ill for some time past, and since Monday had been forced to remain at Milthorp s Terminus Hotel, where he sought rest during that afternoon, and had subsequently remained under medical attendance, suffering from a complication of ailments. During Tuesday afternoon and night he rapidly became worse, so much so that an attendant had to be constantly at his bedside up to the time of his death. Dr Morgan, who attended him at the latter end, found his patient beyond hopes of recovery, although all that could be done to afford him relief was put in force. The deceased gentleman, whose familiar figure and conversation was known to almost every resident of the district and of Maitland (his place of residence), had practised his profession in Newcastle for about the last twelve years, during which time his thorough knowledge of law and court procedure, combined with a self respecting and superior deportment, had earned for him a wide and extensive practise, as well as a very large circle of friends. His remains will, in all probability, be conveyed by train this afternoon for interment at Maitland. The deceased gentleman was a younger son of the late Mr. E. P. Capper, J.P., proprietor of the extensive Stores in West Maitland
