AN INNOCENT MAN HANGED.
Early thi» morning Harrison made a statement which must be regarded as of a highly sensational character. His spiritual adviser, Rev. J. Garlick, mentioned the Deniliquin murder, for which Cordini was executed, and said many people believed him (Harrison) to have been the real murderer. Harrison said he knew this, but he was not the murderer, but that he knew Cordini was innocent of the crime for which he was charged. Harrison was in Deniliquin at the time of the murder, and returned with more property than he had when he went away.
THE PROTESTATIONS DISBELIEVED. The protests of Harrison as to his innocence of the present crime are regarded by the gaol officials and all others as so many idle words, as Harrisons whole demeanour shows that he was hardened beyond all feeling and that he made up his mind to protest Uis innocence to the last.
