An opinion prevails in some quarters in Wellington that one or two persons whose bodies have recently been fished out of the harbour met their death through foul play. Facts published in connection with tho case of a man named Johnston, whose body was recently found, have tended to strengthen the suspicions that he was practically "done to death" by roughs, and his body then thrown into the harbour. What with this mystery still, unravelled, and' a number of burglaries lately in the Empire City, it is no wonder that the more timid of the women folk there are father scared.
