MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1887.

For the cause that lacks .assistance, For the wrong- that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And tilt good that we can do.

The grim curtain of death lias at length fallen on the chief actors in the Great Hitrrier tragedy. For Hie last seven months our society has been suffering from spasmodic throes of excitement-, which arc the natural consuquem..of _o terrible a deed. Now it is over, and justice has exacted her last and most awful penalty. No matter how dark the crime may be, none can contemplate unmoved the execution of to-day. Two lives quenched by an untimely and disgraceful death, the fitting culmina tion of violence and crime. There have been men who have met their fate on the scaffold round whom hovers the halo of martyrdom — patriots, dis coverers, saint.—the flower and glory of their race. Their only crime was to be misunderstood, their only wrong that they were before their age. Here there was nought but cruelty and cowardice, and outraged humanity has done its enemies to death. However it is not our object to dwell with cen sorious bitterness on the men who have been hung to-day. Their story is told, their power for wrong for ever curtailed■ yet ere that story is forgotten, as it soou will be, it may not be amiss to point the moral which is unfortunately but too much needed amongst us. Day after day our attention is called to acts of youthful ruffianism and crime. Now it is some orgy of brutal lust, anon some defiance of the law. The boys and girls who do these things arc at least becoming candidates for the scaffold. Not that they know it or have an}' intention of making them selves amenable to the last dread penalty of the law; but they are enter ing upon a career which too often ends with that, or at any rate with some sentence almost as severe. It is easy enough to start on the downward track —to begin a course of lawless self indulgence ; it is not so easy to turn from that track, or arrest the evil in fluence of wrong. A fatal bias towards crime becomes confirmed, and reform grows hopeless. We are all of us deeply interested in this question. "When acts of violence are done it is the duty of society, through the proper means, to mete out penalties for such acts • but society has a yet higher duty to perform, and that is to avert, as far as may be, the evil forces which lead to these, and nip in the bud what is known amongst us as larrikinism. Her work is not merely . punitive, but also reformatory, and the

latter part of the business is far moi c difficult than the former. How is it to be carried into effect 1 We are trying to do our best by education. That doubt less is a step in the right direction. May the work of the educator be more widely established amongst us and based on the truest and most far-reach ing foundations. But let us not forget that crime has its schools as well. "Wo may not yet have amongst us such nurseries for vice as that of the Jew Fagin, in Dickens's familiar story, but in another form we havo something akin. "Wherever the hoodlums of oui towns congregate there is a most effectual school of vice — a school wherein are taught lessons which are not soon forgotten—lessons of brutal thoughts and words, which culminate in due time in brutal deeds. So too, iv many a drunken and degraded homo, children are growing up learning nothing but evil. Here we have the forcing beds of vice aud crime—places in which the passions which threatei society are nurtured into vigorous lifo. to develop into criminal wrong when the time for fruit arrives

(Here, we maintain, society may well assert her right to interfere. In the case of the adults there is little left but to punish. In the case of the young it is not too late. There is too much of the spirit of laissez faire abroad. The rights of society and humanity are threatened whenever the germs of crime are allowed to come to maturity. Should we not take action if there were established amongst us a race of I pirates—a gang of robbers 1 How much wiser then to interfere when the evil is yet in embryo,' and the I danger in the bud. The truest interests of the State are concerned in the development of a race of honest, law abiding men and women. Those interests are rudely imperilled, when tendencies are abroad which lead towards systematic- dishonesty and lawlessness, and the State should recognise as one of its first duties'

that of adopting whatever measures of repression or amelioration may bo possible or wise in regard to childhood exposed to criminal influences. Tlic iStato is educating a vast number of the children. In so doing, sho is doing well, aud it is the duty of every citizen, directly and indirectly, to help her in her work: but there is yet a large child clement whose only schooling is found amidst evil in lluences, who learn to lisp in oaths and look upon law as their hereditary enemy. In regard to these there is yet a groat work for her to do, a work perhaps greater and more important than that which she has assumed in educating I lie children who are better cared for. Let her face this work as soon as may be, and we venLurc to assert the sympathies and assistance of her loyal citizens will be strongly enlisted on her side.

But some will say, How about the expense 1 we aro already overweighted in tho matter of our public burdens, Let such remember that it is better to spend money on the child than on the adult, criminal ; that schools and reformatories are better than gaols; and that one Great Harrier case cost the country a stun of money sufficient to rescue many who, if left to them selves and their .surroundings, will be sure to develop into dangerous crimi nals. On all grounds then, on motives of economy as well as those of right, we urge tho lesson of to-day, and that is the imperative need of wise and statesmanlike action in dealing with the ugly and law-destroying forces of Larrikiuism.

Alleged Unlawful Wounding.

Some excitement was caused in Chancery street yesterday afternoon by a quarrel botwoon two resiJonls of that locality. It was reported that a man hud been seriously stubbed, anil Iho affair assumed greater importance from tho fact that the -UppO-od. ascailuut, a aloro-

keeper in the street, was urrested by the police Tho case was called on at the Police Court to-day, before Messrs King and Hammond, when Jaunt White was

charged with unlawfully wounding Foler Jacob by slabbing him on the back with in tont to do giiovous bodily harm. Sergeant Gamblo said tho parties were cohabiting together in Chancery Lane, and tho assault was committed during a quarrel. Peter Jacob, mariner, doposeel that ho

was- living iv Chancory-street with the ac

cused. A bit of a quarrel tcok place be tween thorn yesterday. Tho prisoner hod a

ktiifo (produced) in her hand and stabbed him in tbo .host, but it was nothing eorious. Tho knifo just scratched the skin, and caused it to bleed, but very slightly. VVitnoss tried to take the knife away Tho occurronco took placo in the yard of tho house in which thoy livod. He wont to tho Police Station and asked Constable Abrams to take the woman in charge The assault was done on iho spur of tho moment, nnd be did not wish lo pre»s the charge.

Tbornai Steele Btnted that ho saw the prosecutor and tho prisoner quarrelling in the yard of tho house next to their own yesterday afternoon. Bo did not see any thing in tho woman's hand, although ho might have told the constable yosterday that he did lie saw the woman slapping Jacob with hor hand, but that was oil.

Dr. Hooper deposed that he examined Jacob yesterday, and found a slight scratch on the left side of the breast. It was about an inch and a ha"f in length, and had merely penetrated the outer skin. There was no danger of the man dying from the wound.

The Bench considered that there was to evidence of malicious intent, aud, as the a-suit was not a eeurms one, they would dismiss <he case ; but Jacob might, if ho choso, lay an information for nirfravalctl am mil.

Jacob sni'l ho did n'.'t wish to do so

Tho Bench di-mif-f.il the accused wilh a caution to control her temper for thefuturo. The eonsfjqucnecs of the affair frould hay. been vary rjerious if the prosecutor had died frsm inflammation of the wound.

THE GREAT BARRIER MURDER.

EXECUTION of Caffrey and Perm.

GENERAL REFLECTIONS,

Tliu assorlioti may safely be ventured that no other crime committed within this colony has over excited and eustainod such general interest as that which is known as the Great Barrier murder. It was out of tho common ordcrof such thhoge, and ia its lead ing incident' approximated protty closely to " tho lovo and murder " stylo of fiction of which young people aro usually so en amoured. Susccptib.o people, prone to this kind of litorature, and ready to make amplo allowance, for tbo "pangs of do spisod love," alleged to have been a prime factor in inciting tho foul deed, invested tho two outlaws with quite a halo of romance, which thoir subsequent vicissitudes considerably heightened in colouring. And truly thoir chequered ex periences woro pjEsingstrange —in thorough keeping with tho kind of storn and real melodrama they had ontored upon. Its salient st-gO3 must roadily recur to tho mind—tho opening eceno of roystering con viviality in tlio small cabin of the Sovo roign of tho Seas on tho evo of hor do pirtnro from Auckland — hor running aground at Rangitoto in the pale dawn of tho following morning, with her human freight stooped in heavy slocp - tho re sumption of tho voyage a fow hours later, and then very o.rly nc::t morning fie stealthy landing and cunningly-devisod plot by which tho Taylors were surprised com p'otcly clt thoir guard. Then the shooting of tho eld man and tho escape of his daugh ters, tho return of the disappointed abduc tors to iheir vessel, tho hoisting of the pira tical flag and the departure for America. An avenging Nemesis, striding the blast, was, however, already upon the track of tho fugitives, and, baffled by contrary winds in their hopo of making for America, thoy woro driven upon the Australian shore, only to bo captured after n fow weeks of hardship, and harded ovor to tho sleuth • hounds of justice After this (ho Police Court proceeding", the Supremo Court trial, conviction, and sentences, and then tho period of suspense boforo tho awful fiat of the law runs its solemn couiso and attains its lothal consummation.

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE EXECU TION.

Vcstcrday tho whole of Pcnn's family sought a last interview with him, nnd, as may bo supposed, it was of a painful nature lo thoin, Perm, however, hold ing up wonderfully, and being tho least concerned. Thoeo who camo to 100 bint consisted of Mr and Mrs I'enn, sen , his wife antl children, his two sifters and two brothel., cud also hi-i brother in-law. CaflVey - threo sisters also came duiiog yes terday afternoon to visit him, his mother having paid her last visit on Saturday to hor son. The Roy Mr llill and Mr Bracketing vi.-ilcd tho condemned men ycntorrlay morning, and remained with thorn i>i devotional oxoiei-o until noon, Iho relatives occupying tbo timo until about half past live, when Mr Brackenrig ng.--.in hud access to tho prisoners. Ho ro maincd with thorn until about 7 ncloek, and both ho ami Hoy. .1 S. Hill paid v final visit to thorn tluriug their last night on earth after tho Theatre service, and remained praying with tho mon until time to retire to rest. These gontlemen had been un tiring in thoir exertions towards their charges' spiritual comfort, and woro at tho gaol before 0 o'clock this morning for their last visit. Each prisoner had passed a tolerably good night's rest, and nroso ut 5 o'clock, when thoy washed and attired themselves in their own clothing in place of tho prison garb worn by them since conviction. They then each partook of breakfast, and remained with tioir spiritual advisers in dovotlonal exor cises until the hour of doom. No allusion was made to tho erimothoy had committed, and boyond tho confesson made somo timo ago, now in tho hands of tho Govern ment, and publithod in anothor cjlamn, no further admissions bavo boen made. Nothing could havo boon moro pathetic ycctoiday whilo tho condemned mon wero lying in their cells for the last day-on which tliey wero to live, than to hear the prisoner.' voids in tho adjjcent gaol chapel plain tively singing to tho accompaniment of the piison organ : —

"Our sju's lie humbled ia the dust And own Toy dreadful sentence just Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Antl sivo the teals contemned i. dl.,

THE EXECUTION.

Tho appearance of the morning with its blight and gladsome sunshine was 6trangely nt varianco with tho cad and gloomy Eccne to bo enacted within tho walls of tho gaol. In the early morning a littlo knot of persons might havo been seen standing without tho main gate of the grim-locking fortress, waiting for admis sion. Tho regulation for the day was that no oso should be passed in until after seven o'clock, except tho spiritual attendants upon thocondemnod men —Rev, J. S. Hill and Mr Urackenrig, and the Sheriff and Registrar. Tho foimer arrived at.. o'clock,while Major Green appcarod upon the ecoue at a quarter to eaven, and shortly after made his formal demand for possession of the bodies of tho condemned men. Fourteen policemen in uniform were stationed at regular intervals apart upon tho rugged heights surrounding the ga I, but beyond these small groups of people could bo discerned patiently waiting for the consummation of tho dread tragedy, but scarcely hoping to bo able to see or huar aught connected with it. The little ...cmbly at the gate slowly incroasod until (.hero wero present Supt. Thomson. S.rgt. Pratt and Consts.-O'Biien and Lamb, the reporters of tho daily papers, threo medical ge-atlemen, aud Messrs Donnelly, Brady, and Crocker. At half-past 7, Dr. Pnihon '(District CJoroner) arrived on his horeo, and was instantly afforded ingress to the gaol. Tbo poriod of probation for those outside lasted until eight minutes to 8 o'clock, when the postern of tbo muosiveguto opened, nnd a warder appeared thoreat, and signalled to the pressmen to advance and produce, their authorisation to enter, They were passed through iv turn, and as each entered tho jjaol enclosure ha was taken into a sentry box, and requested to en'or his name in n book laid out- for | tho purpose. After all had complied j with this formality they wero admitted | within tho older portion of tho gaol, which is still enclose! by its grimly-painted I wooden wall. Thoy passed along to thp very rear of the gaol, and here thoy camo in view at once upon all the dread paraphernalia for tho execution of tho severest ponalty of justice. Tho scaffold differed from that used on a previ.us occaeion, and there is no gain saying the fact that tho machine is an im provement upon thooldgallows.aud as Iho subsequent ovont showed, worked very well. Aa stated, it was oioutod in what is known as Iho stone-yard, and placed at ono cornor, oj_;.inst tho hard - labour dormitories, it is a cumbrous picco of mechnni«m, ap proached by a etaircaio both back and front, tbo former being for tho jirocession of culprits, warders, ccc , and the latter for the executioner's u.-o. A ilight of ten steps roaches the platform, boforo which is tho i ominous drop, consisting of a beam .in. j square, from which was suspended tho two Manilla rop.s, about 3ft. opart, lashed securely rcund the beam several timos. Tho trap was a double ono, opening in the centre, and falling to the two sides, tho underneath part of tho scaffold being well padded, to prevent n rebound of the traps when the drop fell. The scaffold was closely boarded on two sides, with a rail iv front, and partly boarded at back with a door for the executions, The lever for releasing the bolt was situated on the hangman's platform at rear of the scaffold. The scaffold was only ten feet high, suffi cient space being made for the drop by ex cavating about four feet of the eaith below. The bottom of tho scaffold was securely hid from view by strong canvas fastened all round with a dour at. tho back for the I oxocuiionct'rt oilr.-inr.o To prevent any pctvibili _t of ii-jw from tho outside uf tlio j gaol a strong wooden partition whs erected at the rear of the scat.aid over ' the wo-dtii fc-nea dividing tba wards,! wbile two large b".rn_ulins v.-_ie stretched across ths prison yard ia front of the _caf- [ fold, and which, although secured at the

bottom by tcing lashed to largo stones, ilapped in the morning breczo. As tho visitors entered this yard tho first object that met their gnze woa the executioner, who stood immediately behind tho tarpaulins and midway between tho gallon-.'! and tho rear wall. Some of tho party immediately recognised him as tho man who had been employed in a similar capacity on the occasion of Winiata'a execution, Ho is a young man of middlo height and of powerful build Ho stood, barolioadcd, with hi. c.at oil", un hands thrust doep into his trousers pockets, and a bandage of black crape tiod round his face, but not co thickly as to altogether hide his features. His preparations v/oro ovidontiy complete, and ho was standing at, his oaee, oxhibiting no sign of impationco or of nervousnoss. Shortly after tho visitors entered ho went out of tho yard, and, return ing with B-imo lealher straps in his hands passed right through tho execution yard and out into the yard occupied by tho.cells of refractory prisoners. A hush of expec tation eceinod to hold iho visitors spell bound, and what littlo conversation took placo was carried on in whispers. Suddenly two strokes of Iho gaol boll broke tho stillness, and warned tlie asscmblago that the fatal hour had arrived. Kro tho echo had died away, a warder appeared at tho outer galoot tho execution yard, and pointed Dr. Philson towards tho inner gate, through which tho prisoners woro expocted to pass. Simultaneously an other warder appeared at this inner gate, and beckoned Dr. L'hibon to follow bita, which ho did. A minute or two moro of anxious su.-per.se, and then tho head of tho process-ion appeared at tho gato. First of all marcliod a couple cf warders, closo'y behind them Cafl'rey, in conversation with the Kov. Mr Hill, next two more warders, then Perm, accompanied by Mr Brackenrig, and, bringing up tho roar of the procession, two moro warders. _ The condemned mon wero dressed in their own clothes, which consist?dmorely of twoed trou sers and white shirts. In n, littlo group, opposite tho gato by which the prisoners entered, stood tho gaoler, ono or two warders, Superintendent Thomson, Ser geant Pratt, Constables Lamb , and O'Brien, and tho visitors, consisting of the press reporters, Drs. Phil son (who had rejoined the group), Walker, and Cobbstt (the other medical iiian previously alluded to having been re fused admittance), and Messrs Donnelly, Urady, and Crocker. As tho doomed men onterod tho c-„e ution yard the Rev. Mr Llill remarked to CafiVoy that ho must not mind the presence of tho fun friends who had come to see tho list uf him. Crif froy eniiled in rrsp.Dfo »nd appearod quite composed and resigned to* his fat'o, evi dently rolioved that tho sutpenso ho had endure! wiw about to terminate Perm worn a sorioiH and thought ful lock, but, like Cafl'rey, showed no indication of trepidation or fear. Both mon walked with a firm step, and did not appear to pay any attention to tho scaffold, tho steps of which thty mounted with as firm ts tread as those members of the pro cession who either precoded or fol lowed them The oxecutionor was already in his placo behind the cross beam, and as tho prisoners took thoir places be neath it ho put them in iheir assigned posi tions facing one another, Perm occupying tho inner position (that nearost tho gaol wall), and CaffVey tho position nenrort the front of tho scaffold, Consequently Perm faced tho spoctat -r», and Cafl'rey had" hi. back partly turned toward.-) them As the two men thus turned and faced each ether, their arms nlroady pinioned, tho most affoctiofj part of the solemn scone took place, Perm suddenly slopping forward and kiting C.-.ll'rcy, who bout forward ti receive this last saluto and token of reconciliation. The service I hen commouced, tlml'.ov. Mr Hill and Mr Bruckonrig reciting, by special rcquet-t of tho prisoners, thoir favourite hymn, ".lotus. Lover uf My Soul.'' />> it was b.inrr recited, Iho executioner qu c-lly utid expeditiously carried on his pitp.ra lion". Tho only thing nolisoable about- the prisoners vrtx* that Perm stood quite im movable, while Uall'roy uior.ly .shifted slightly the posture oi his body once cr tuico. UoHVoy wen also ob-orvi_d onco to sinilo in fricndlitiLi'.' upon his uofortunate associate, but, thcro was not tho faintest approach lo bravado in tho de meanour of cither. Thoy scomod deeply impressed iii'li ilio I rriblo solemnity of this last oct in their misguided cr.reor, and both of them,but moro especially L'cnn, kept their gazo directed to tho sunny sky above them. As tho hymn finished too Rev. Mr llill lilted up his voice in prayer, and at tho aiura moment Iho executioner pasted behind I'enn, and dtew tho hi tonus cup of whito linon down over bis face, nnd adjusted tho ropo around his neck. Immediately after ho crossed ov.r to CaiTrcy and por formod lh<; tame oflico for him. As the prayer proceeded tho ga 1 ball tolled funereally at regular interval", and a souse cf oppression weighed heavily upon tho feelings of all prosent. As the word " Anion " fell from tho chaplain's lip?, nod ero one could draw breath, 100 bolt was shot, the trap doors swung back with ft creaking noi^o, and in the twinkling of an eyo tho condemned mon disappeared from view into tho onclosuro beneath. A drop of eight feet was allowed oach pri.ooor.T_o ropes e> tifloncd to their utmost tenr-ioti, and then remained stationary, exhibiting no

vibration whatever, and hardly a visible movement. What slight motion theie was, was duo, not to any, tffjrts on tho part of tho bodies, but to tho regular oscillation resulting from the weight attached to each rope. It was dourly ovidont that tho unfortunate culprits must havo become instantaneously unconscious, and died without tho least struggle. Tho curlaiti had fallen upon tho last foarful incident in the deed of blood, tho relentless lex tulionU had exacted it. full latisfaction, and poor Taylor's violent doath had boon terribly avenged. Tho visitors were spared tho horrible scene associated with Winlata'e exoaulion, of the executioner rushing down from Ihe scaffold and into tho enclosure, to put an ond to tho struggles of his vic tim. As we havo explained, ther_ was no occasion for such an act iv this instance, and after tho bolt had been shot ttere was a short pause, which was not broken by movement of any kind. The ovecutionor then slowly dismounted, and, going to tho rear of the scaffold, peered within tho enclosure, and evidently assured himself th.t bis eervioee woro not re-

quired there, Tho chaplains and medical gentlemen also returned to tho grounH, leaving only the two warders standing upon tho gallows. As tho formalities of the law make it imperative in a!l cases that tho bodies shall hong for an hour bafcra being cut down, and also for bid tho departure of any of the parsons present within that interval, thcro wai

nothing for tho visitors to do but to await

with patience their iolcaso By looseness of supervision, however, one person was allowed to depart and got off

into town within iivo minutes of tbo execution, nnd sotno of the o'hers felt aggrieved that tho restraint upon their liberty was not re'axed in their case nl_o, Major Green deserves the greatest cr d't for tho huuiauo nnd completely satisfactory way in which tho execution im posed upon him to fulfil was esrricd out. lio had lukoti every precaution to minimi., the possibility of any hitch, and also to do prive tho scene aa far as pOß.iß'o of its in cidental horrors. It may ho affirmed with-. out.tho slightest, hesitation that no cxeoit-

lion in Ne>v -Z-aJund was ever carried through more smoothly and with greater cort.itudo.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE BODIES,

, At 10 minutes pas. 0, the Sheriff gave orders for tho executioner to take down too

bodies, they having hung tho prescribed hour. This ho proceeded to do by unfasten ing tho ropes from tho beam and lowering the bodies on to a stretcher. Ponn'e body was first brought out and examined by Drs. Pbilson and Cobbett. On removing tho cap the face was found to bo much swollen, u-.d both tho lower part of tho fapo and tho linn were cf a dcop purple colour. Thoro abo appeared a slight stain of blood under tho right side of tho chin, and a deep inden tion and ono or two incisions caused by ccn tuct with the brass eyelet at- tho en 1 cf the rope. Tbo band, wero slightly discoloured, tho logs straight and tho hot heel to heal, Tho neck was dislocated. The body was carried out of tho yard ard placod in a padded cell. Caffroy _ body was noxt taken down and examined by tho doctors. His face was also greatly swollen aud discoloured, and the lips wore a purp'o hue. Both men had boon hanged in their ehirts, IroußSr., and boots, their shirt sleeves being rolled up. Oaffrey _ body was placed em a stretcher and pluccd aloagside of Bonn's to await tho inquest.

TH_ CONDEMNED CELLS.

Our representative, having sceu the bodies taken down, was next shown tho cells just vacated by Caffrey and Peun. These cells are situate in a conidor containing four eompartmonts, and known as the solitary nellß. Their si.c is G feet by S feet, and 12 f.-et high, having a small grating c.lo:e to tbo ceiiirg admitting light awl air.

Caii'rey had occupied tho fourth cell at the end of tho corridor, and tho samo articles wore observed in his compartment that were lot in his fellow prisoner's cell, only his books wore packed away neatly in a cornor, as if untouch- d.and he appearod to havo left a considerable portion of hie last meal. By tho door lay in a heap the discarded prison clothes, whilst on tho beds of oach of the prisonors woro.thrown their own coats, vests and collars. \S THE INOUEST. -'N,reci«oly at 10 o'clock an inquest was hold within tho precincts of tho gaol before Ji, C. B.rstow, Esq., Coroner, and a jury of six touching tho death of the two pri:Onors executed this morning. . Tlio Coroner explained the reason of tho rrocecdings as bring according to law (Criminal Execution Act, ISS3). Mr G. F. Brimblecomb was choeon fore-

man. , , , , A separato inquest was hold on each body, that, of Caflroy bung taken first, Tho jury hiving viewed tho bodies, tho following evidence was taken : — U S. Boston, gaoler of lI.M. prion, Auckland, identified tho body of John Calf.cy, having held him in custody, by virtue of a warrant (which ho produced) from tho Supremo Court. In pursuance of the Criminal Execution Act, ISb.J, ho had at 7.55 lha. morning hand.d over tho body to tho Sheriff Subsequently ho accompanied the condemned man to tho scaffold and witnessed tbo sentence o, doath carried out in accordanco with tho law.

Ho koew tho convict John Cail'rey, was present that morning at tho prisoners' exodtion and had since identifiod the body. Was satis lied after tho execution that lifo was ex tinct. Tho cau'oof death was strangulation by hanging. Death wa3 instantaneous ii his opinion. Had examined tho body n quarter of an hour after execution and found no pulsation. The body remained suspended ono hour. This was all tho evidence, and the jury gave as thoir verdict "That th."convict John Cafl'rev had been duly hanged by the neck, according to law, in pursuance of the sentence of death passed upon him.'' Similar evidenco was given at the icquost on the body of Henry Albert Ponn, and the same verdict returned.

PRAYER. FOR CAFFREY AND TENN

Yesterday morning and evening at fit. Alh-i'.iV Church, Mount 1.0-kiil, the Rev. K. •). Philips bcipuke the prayers of the congregation for tho Jo two condemned men, an 1 they were prayed for in Iho services. During his sermon in the miming the rev.

gentleman drew some important lo.sons from their nul fate. Ho thought (hat want r,( self control in ouch case accouutcd for :ho men's po-ition. Thoy had given w->.y lo ee'f indulgence until they - lived a moro animal

existence, and ho warned his con-nega tion against tlrifritig on and on until thoir spirits became subject to their bodies, (lo Faw great.troubles in store for New. Zea land, and feared that Iho secular system ot education, and the extravagance and luxury of tho limes,would entail upon us a fearful reckoning. In a solemn manner ho urged his peoplo during tho approaching period of Lent to havo a fixed timo for prayer each day; to deny themselves luxuries'uul ta give tho money saved in private chaiity; to watch over their tempers, watch over their bodies, to guard iheir minds against bad thoughts and thoir tongues against bad w^rds as those who must give an account.

At tho morning service in St. Jame.'s Presbyterian Church, the Rev. 11. F Macnieot offered up in prayer a petition on behalf of tho condemned mon then awaiting tho execution of tho death sentence at Mount Eden Gaol, The words used in this connection wero as follows :—" Grant, Thou, repentance of their tins, and faith in Hin> who was ready to pardon even those who crucilicd and slew him, and grant in Thy great compassion that thoy may bo re ceived in that placo where Jesus is, and where Ho still exercises the prerogative of saving all who come unto Him in faith.'J

There was also reference to tho doomed men made in various other city and suburban churches.

EEWAED FOR CAPTURE

Now that tbo last scone in this grim tragedy has been onacted.it may not be out of place to ask whether the Iv'ew Zealand Government has done anything towards payment of the reward ,off_red for tho cap turo of the murderers. It. will be remem bered that First-class Mounted Constable Edwin May tracked and arrested CaiTrey in a very plucky manner at the boad of "the Bellinga river, Now South Wales, on the morning of tho •.'«! Octqber last, while Perm was arrested by Senior Constable M'Clellaud a week lator, near tho Macleay bar.

This Minister of Justice has placed at my disposal tho full confessions of Caflrey and Ponn, who were exocuted this muming for the Groat Barrier murder. 1 sond you the complete text. It ia as follov.-o : —

lI.M S. Prison, Mount Eden, Auckland, 24th Jan., ISS7, 7 lo a.in

John C ilfrey, a convict, under sentence of death, asked for an interview with the gaoler. He was brought into tho gaoler's presence, and made tho following request :— "I would first request Feun to maka a public statement with mo to nckno-lodge this deed that has been done 1 think it would only bo fair towards tho public who havo taken an interest in the caso that wo should make a true state ment of what did occur, from the timo wo left the vessel until we got back to hor. I am aware, sir, tint wo have had a very fair trial, both by the jury and the judge, and I cannot say too much in praiseof my solicitors for tho manner in which they have worked in my favour to provo tho guilt of tho party who committed this crime. After that, I shall b? quite satisfied to mtot my fato liko ! a man." I

FENNS FIRST STATEMENT.

U.oO a.m. Convict floury Aibait Perm was called into the Gaoler's oliice, and the above read to him. Ho said, " Yes, lam quito willing to make a true statement of what did, occur." Convict Caffeoy was sent for, and in his presence Perm made the following statement:—" When we left tio cutter we went ashore for the purpose of getting Mrs Seymour by fair means or foul. I went to tho house,"and asked Mr Taylor for some butter for the purpose of getting them all insids the house-that is if an" should be outside—to ss 11 enable John Coil ey to obtain admittance, Which I sue- j coed, am doing 1 was invited inside by ! tho T-ivlor futility, antl sat down just hiride Iho door. I had hern th.ru h.'ir or livo minutes when Johnny rushed in, ' nail, as stalld iv the Court, : he challenged Mr Taylor, and • ho not responding, Ciffcey fired one r Bint. He attempted to iito several tim„ > after trar Is, but the revolver missed fire,

During that timo Lincoln Taylor tried to wresttheotherrevulveroutof Cafl'rey'shand. Istoppel uji behind John Cuffrey to prevent the Tayloru crowding on him, nnd kept them at bay, Mr Taylorsucoeediog in getting away into the bedroom. Ho opened tho door, and both Cafl'rey and mysolf fired a uhot'at him. Ho either shoved the door to or fell against it. . Johnny tried to forpo tho door opon, but could not manogo^t. Ho called for my assistance to forco tho door open. I was just in tho act of shoving tho door and it opened by hisfcrco. Ho rushed into No. 1 bedroom. Just as ho was inside the door Taylor caught hold of him. Ho triod to force him off, but did not succeed, and thoy both together, staggered into No. 2 bedroom. I noticed that .Mr Taylor was smothorod with blood. Caffroy still tried to throw him off, but did not sue cccd. I said to him, " Caffroy, why don't you put him out of the road at onco ?" Ho said; "I can't; my revolver won't go round." I hoard tho revolver kiop clicking, that is it would not work. I presented my revolver at Mr Taylor and fired. Mr Taylor re leased his grasp of Cafl'rey and foil. When I was going out of tho door, Cafl'rey.told ma to go and stop tho old woman, and not let her run abou,t. I did so, and while I was with her Cu-ffroy camo out ol the house and went round to tho light of the house, toward the foot of tho hill, while I was thoro with Mrs Taylor. Calfrey went into tlio house again to soarch if any of tho girls were tinder the bedsi After leaving tho houso he came acrosß to whero Mrs Taylor and I were standing, and asked if she knew where the •'iris were, and I told birh sho did not kiiow. Mrs Taylor asked him what I was going to tako her lifo for, and he roplied, 'He ia not foing to touch you.' Mrs Taylor then said, "johnny, what have you done V He said, II have dono it this time." She said, ' You havo killed an innocent old man,' and Johnny add, ' No, a- bad old b .' Wo then left Mrs Taylor, and went to tho cutter, getting underway with the intention of sailing for America. During the timb wo were in No. 2 bedroom Johnny was very excited, and it iras thiough that that I fired tho last shot at his command." Tbo foregoing etatemcht was made to tho undorsigned in tho presence of Mr M. Fianncry, Chief Warden.

(Signed) G. S. Rehton, Gaoler. January 2-t, 18S7. CAFFREYS FIRST STAT-MENT. John Geffrey then desired 'o give his statement, and said : "As I bope to eeb Heaven I am going to give my state ment true. I shall not edy anything but the truth. If I do it will be unintc-ntionally. Well, in starting, I had two rovolvers ; Perm had one. I also took some cord, and said if Taylor should resist that wo should mako him fast, and so as ho should not tell who done it; that if ho made any noise I would cut a bit off his tongue, or tho tip off his tongue." [A note in the margin reads as follows: — " Perm denied that CalLey made this state-, merit at tho timo of going on shofo, but several days afterwards at sea ; and he also said ha would havo ear marked him.". Cif frey would not bo certain, and said it might have been aftorwards, and he might have mentioned ear marking him "j

I hud no intention of taking tbo knife.for that purpose, but- said, 'I will take tho knife with me, because I might have more than him to tic up ; Seymour might be there also.' As we wero leaving the cabin, I said lo Graham, in the presence of Perm, ' Don't look .scared, Grace, because though wo are taking those re volvers, it is merely to givo them a scare ; (hey might also have such things as I believe thoy will havo (meaning fire arms). 11 will also prevent them using any if they have them.' Then l'onn and I lelfc the vessel. It was arranged that he was to ask for butler: to say that he belonged til the Tcviot, and it was for the Tairua It was out daylight at (ho timo wo went ashore. It was arranged that Peiin should place himself in eight of tho door, so that hu could sec who came out or who went in. I was to gu round to the back of Iho bouse, and place myself to that 1 could see Perm coining towards the house. When ho was sure all the family were out of bed, ho was to carry out iho plan of asking for butter. I said I knew when a boatman goes to the house (hat their atleuiioh is taken up in talking (o bin), and then I should rush down oil the hill auel take them by surprise, and I was not afraid thoy would be lit or willing to resist me, because I should present the revolvers, and that would" make it an ea»y affair for us to tic them up —meaning Taylor, and Seymour, if the latter wero there. If they tlid not resist, there would be no oc casion for making them fast. Where I placed myself was about SO or 100 yards from the house. In running that distance as ciuiok as 1 could. I fell headlong down' the hill some Bor 10 feet. I then got up and climbed over the fence as quick as possible, and rushed into the house. I challenged Taylor to put up his hands (before that as I entered the house, I noticed Taylor with a piece of iron in his hand). I did not know what it was. 1 repeated the challenge several times. He said "Johnny," an*, rushed at mo. In doing so he caught my left wrist. Tho boy at the same time rushed over and caught hold of the revolver in my left hand. His mother and sUter Janio also rushed on me to tho father's assistance. While this i struggle was going on I noticed Perm standing between the door and Hie fireplace. I twice struck Taylor with my right hand which clenched the revolver and ordered him to get out of my way. In the meantime the boy had i wrenched tho revolver out of my left hand. My attention being taken up with Taylor, I, tlid not notice what became of tlio boy. Through hitting Taylor I succeeded in forcing him back from me, and as I did sol laid my revolver across his face and fired between him and his wife as they stood. It had the effect of scaring Taylor. He stood and lookeel at mo and hesitated. As I fired this shot I hoard a rush and screaming through the. rooms. I never intended the shot should, j hit Taylor or anyone else. I never caw the boy going through the door, or pointed my . revolver at him. I next saw Perm put his revolver to Taylor's head and lire in the.-'' kitchen. Taylor staggered and rushed for the bedroom. I knew he was wounded. I was intent upon gotting Mrs Seymour. I looked round the kitchen and rushed for the; bedroom also. 1 noticed Mrs Seymour run-' ning about with her hands together, and. hor head down. I tiied to force the bed- '., room door open, but found I could not. Perm was close to me. I said, "Harry, give me a hand to force this door; quick, be cause they are in here." I was first inlo the room. I cannot say if Perm did help me or not to force tho door. As 1 entered ' (he room, Taylor" had been leaning against the door. I saw him bleeding. The bbod i was rushing down his face. He~ clutched hold of me as soon as I "•' entered tho room. I looked through ; the room while he had hold of me, uud then tried to throw him clear of me. I made for bedroom No. ~ and. did not succeed in throwing Taylor clear out of me until I was in that door, when I chucked, him clear of me. I looked around tho room as auickas I could, but row no one, only lieard a I youngster crying. I was in tho act of i going into bedroom No. I when I sa " - Taylor and Perm wrestling with each other in No. 2 bedroom near the door. I saw Perm with his revolver to Taylor's head, nnd he fired. Taylor fell,: and as he foil I saw tho block mark on his head whoro tho bul'ot struck. I then rushed into No. 1 bedroom, and Bonn fol- ; liwed mo closely. I said, ' Here is a fix. -. Sea what's done, and sho has got away after j all; let us hurry as quick as possible and prevent bor getting away altogether.' We both left through tho kitchen door, Ponn boing ahead. I ran up tbo gully faciDg the .-. kitchen door, and looked around, but could not fiad anyone up theio. I then roturned to tho house, looked quick through the kitchen nnd No. 1 bedroom, and looked into h0. 2 bedroom. Through tho door I saw Teylor in a sitting position against tho box. He appeared to bo dead. I felt pretty certain ho was. I remember looking through the. house to see if I could find tho second re volver, but did not succeed. I then left by ' the kitchen door again, and stood facing the same for two or three minutes. I , can remember feeling strongly tempted to shoot myself, as I wa3 so much grieved at what had taken place. I looked alo.g tho boacli and saw Airs Taylor and Perm facing each other. I ran towards them. As 1 was doing so I heard Mrs Taylor cay ' Ato you going to see an old woman killed,' or • This.man will kill me.' I will not ba v certain which it was or the oxact words. I said, ' Don't ha afraid, Mrs Taylor, no ono will harm you.' I have no recollection of having _aii >I hay. done it,' but might have said so. If so, it ' was alluding to not getting the woman. 16 could have meant nothing else. I do not recollect ha- ing said I was going outside to 1 kill a_yo_e thare, because I DeVer thought .- of such a thing. She said, 'Johnny, you '•■' havo killed t-n innocent old man ' Being vexed as £ was ut tbo tiim, I said, ' He was a bad old i-omothing'— I won't fay what.
