THE TAURANGA TRAGEDY.
(BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION'
Tauhanga, Last Night. Mrs Mcnko and Iter little son Alexander still linger on, although the mother certainly cannot hold out much longer. It is wonderful that she still breathes, considering the awful wounds received. T' lo cuts on her face are green, and a horrible odour arises from them. She still lies in the kitchen where she was felled, but her corset has been takeu off, and a mattraas placed under her. _ Slio can take little or no nourishment, as it passes out through the wound when placed in her mouth. The little boy can take a good deal of milk, but paralysis has set in in the right side from head to foot. He opens his eyes, and moves his left leg and arm. Both are still unconscious. The murderer seems to have regained his reason somewhat. He gives the police no trouble, though he is closely watched. He takes his food heartily, but since his terrible fit at the inquest, he has been quiet.
