THE WAIKINO TRAGEDY.
DATE OF PROCEEDING*. CASE TO BE HEARD AT PAEROA. The district coroner (Mr W, M. Wallnutt) had a conference with Police Inspector Wohlmanri at Waihi last Saturday as to the date to be fixed for the coroner’s inquiry touching the deaths of the two schoolboys ki’led during the Waikino shooting tragedy on October 19, and the charge against John C. Higgins.
