Four aborigines have been hung at Adelaide, in
South Australia, for murder. Before their execution they
seemed to be aware of them awful situation. They made
no coofessioo, but tried to throw the blame on ease ano-
ther. When they were told they would be hung the fol-
lowing morning two af them were much dejected, and
during the night indicted several woods on themselves,
not for the purpose of cosunittieg suicide, but to 'swam
their excessive grief. Their victims were a Mrs. Raiubird
slid her two children.
