The Great Barrier Murderers
[per. united press association.] Wellington, February 1.
The Premier and the Hons. Tole and Buckley were the only Ministers present here at the executive meeting to-day, at which the Barrier murder case was considered. The individual opinion of each Minister will be forwarded to His Excellency along with the papers which go down to-morrow. The final decision will rest with Sir William. As to the Judge's presence, the Premier states that it is by no moans decided to invite his presence. Auckland, February 2. Caffrey and Perm now; seem more fully to realise the awful position in which the}' are placed, and studiously read the Scripture books recommended to them by the gaol chaplain, the Rev jMr Hill. With the exception of Perm's sister, none of the relations of the condemned men have yet visited them. Some days ago Father Ogara, being under the impression that Caffrey was or had been a Roman Catholic, made inquiries at the gaol as to whether the condemned man was desirous of receiving his ministrations, but a reply in the negative was returned.
