Last week a girl carrying a baby entered a large shop in Auckland where a number of men are employed.

By permission of the Home Office, Mr Henri Pierron, the solicitor who acted for Horace Rayner throughout his trial, was granted an interview with his client, who was then still an inmate of the hospital ward of Pentonville Prison. Mr Pierron, in an interview with a press representative, said Rayner complained of the suggestion that he had endeavoured to blackmail the late Mr Whiteley, and that matter seemed prominent in his mind. “ The suggestion is a horrible one,” he cried. “Now all this trouble is over, let me tell you, Mr Pierron, that until that fatal day I had never been to Mr Whiteley. Even on that day I never suggested anything in the nature of blackmail, nor did the least idea of it enter my mind.” WOLFE’S SCHNAPPS is absolutely pure ; a pleasant tonic-beverage.
