IN WELLINGTON GAOL, (By Telegraph—Press Association). WELLINGTON, August 14. Herbert Frederick Manley, who was found guilty of the murder of Gladys Barrington Cromarty, at Wanganui, on May 9th last, and was sentenced to death, was brought to Wellington under escort to-day. He was then placed in the Mt. Crawford Prison, where if the Executive Council upholds the sentence of the Supreme Court, he remains until his execution.
Manley was, for some time after his arrest, kept in the Wanganui Prison, but he was subsequently placed in Mt. Crawford Prison, where he remained until his trial at Wanganui.
It is seven years since an execution has taken place in Wellington, the last one being that of Daniel Richard Cooper, who was found guilty on May 23, 1923, of the murder of an infant at Newlands, near Jonlisonville, and who was hanged at the Old Terrace Gaol on Saturday, June 16, 1923.
