confirms the conviction OF my Judgment formed,
and expressed to yourself and friends ON Monday
last, viz If Henry Gambrill is guilty, prsnoun-

trary facts had been adduced to convince my judg-
ment that he is innocent, and that the court had
| proceeded in error in his case, should not COM
mute his punishment to Imprisonment for life, but
would give him uncondi tional release. No such
| evidence, however, has been adduced, and | am
constrained to let the take its course, the
sons given on Monday for my unpleasant action
| still hold good.
Truly / told you on tn at occasion, l was most
unhappy on account of he solemn and weighty re-
! sponsibiity resting upon Often the most per-

my part in conjunction aciM them. 1t is the duty OF
