The judge’s notes of the trial and the evidence given were gone through very carefully, and ultimately a decision was arrived at that nothing appeared in the evidence or in the circumstances of the case calling for any interference with the due course of the law. It was therefore resolved that that the capital sentence shall be carried out, and a warrant for Hiroki's execution will be issued forthwith.
