Tokio, Jan. 12.
Nagavia, the youthful assassin of Premier Hara, has fully confessed before the preliminary court, the findings of which have been made public.
The confession adds little to the details already known. Nagaoka said that he was opposed to socialism, but that he believed that the late Premier's policy was injurious to the interests of the Japanese people.
He had carefully prepared his plans and had even practised with a dagger on a bundle of cloth. After stabbing Mr. Hara, he attempted to commit suicide, but was prevented by the police.—Reuter.
