late to pursue the murderer. No clue could
be found by which 10 trace him, and the one
or two arrests made Of parties deemed susp1-
cious were followed bE proofs Of dli6i and
speedy release. So the months have passed
on but the tragedy has never ceased to form q
topic OF private conversation, until now the
developments Of the present week make 1t
again the centre Of general interest. II
Two months after the murder man was
arrested for burglary In the central part Of tho
State, who seemed to hare no anteeedents,
who could not be identified, and who would
give no other name than "scratch Gravel"
and was indicted under that speculation. He
was man of great muscular power, consid-
erablc intelligence, and great feroclty; and!
notwithstanding bis singular appearance, at
tructed considerable curiosity In q rural
names Of Ill he met. The fellow ~aa defiant
alike to jatlor, court and jury; refused TO give
any further account Of himself than that he
was rebel soldier, captured and paro1ed,
and made speech 0enouncinG hassaehusetts
and her institutions, when asked If he had
anything to. soy why sentence should not be
passed upon him.: He was sentenced to three
years IN the State Prison, and his term begsan
last autumn. -.
