PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IL, 1871.
Mr.. James M. Scove, Wares counsel, returned to
Camden last evening, having been to Trenton and
exhausted the last resource In behalf OF his I'M
happy client. Governor Randolph, personally, was
IN favor OF q Communication of sentence from death
TO Imprisonment Tor life; but he vas strenuousy
opposed by Judge Clement, of Camden
county, who has been particularly firm
against granting any reprieve or Communication.
Clement was one Of three who opposed the granting
OF new trial, but there happened to be some
mercv in the Court Of Errors and Appeals OF which
Clement Is a member, and the trial was granted.

would be brought TO life, and even now believes
that 1t can ana will be done. Sucn belief has
