HIROKI AND HIS WIFE.
New Plymouth, 7th.— I The Government have adopted an usual procedure in preventing the Press obtaining information concerning Hiroki, the condemned man. Hiroki’a wife, it is said, visited him a few days ago. After showing marked sympathy with her husband, she began to upbraid him for trusting in Te Whiti, and asserted that ;his blind trust had landed him in his present position. He could see now when too late that To Whiti • could not save him. This upbraiding was mixed with natural grief, and she was not want ing in signs of affection. We are also informed that Hiroki had a dream about a week ago, in which he imagined be had found mutton fish, but they were only empty shells. He was deeply impressed by this dream, and stated that it was an ill omen. He said that eight days from that day he would be executed, and the coincidence will be strangely verified.
