THE ONEWHERO MURDER
DEATH SENTENCE COMMUTED. The Executive (His Excellency the Governor presiding) has decided that the death sentence upon Norman Keals, foj the murder of his eister-in-law, Edith Emma Keals, and her infant child, at Onewhero, near Auckland, in February last, should be commuted to imprisonment for life. Three specialists, Dr. Hay (Inspector-General of Mental Hospitals), Dr. Hassel (Medical Superintendent at Porirua Asylum), and Dr. Truby King (of Seacliff 'Asylum) were consulted, and all gave their opinion that Keals was of unsound mind. Keals will now be confined in a mental hospit-al, but it may not be considered desirable > that he should at once be transfeired from the Auckland prison to any other institution not penal.
