The Dean Murder.
DECISION OF THE EXECUTIVE.
(By
Telegraph.)
Wellington, Aug. 3. The Executive this morning unanimously decided to allow the law to take its course in regard to Minnie Dean, now lying in Invercargill gaol under sentence of death for the murder of the infant Dorothy Edith Carter. Under the Criminals’ Executions Act, 1883, the date of the execution is fixed by the Sheriff, who must carry out the sentence within seven days after receiving formal official intimation that the Governor will not interfere therewith. This formal intimation has to come by post. The doomed woman was informed of the decision of the Executive on Saturday afternoon. She exhibited no signs of violent emotion, and appears to be quite resigned to her fate. She passes her time principally in devotional exercises.
