No other verdict was reasonably to be ex-
pected in the case OF BENJAMIN HUNTER
than that of guilty of murder In the first de-
gree, which a Camden jury has rendered.
The crime was attended by circumstances
of extraordinary atrocity. HUNTER was the
professed warm friend Of his victim, ARM
STRONG, and had been his special partner in
business The families were acquainted,
and were friendly.
1t was murder from tho most sordd Of
motives not for revenge but for gain The
friend Of many years WIS sacrificed aud

view of committing the murder, had been
effected on his life.
Then n iiendish schcme was laid to divert
attention from the culprit to an innocent
man an acquaintance of both HUNTER and
ARMSTRONG nnmrd DAVIS. by cutting the
initials of DAVIS, near whose house the
crime was committed. on n hammer. and
leaving it beside ARMSTRONG, where he was
knocked down in the street.
Finally the assassin called upon his vie
tim, pretending sympathy for him and his
family, and when the nurse was absent from
the room tore off the handages from the
wounds on his head, thus renewing the
hemorrhagc This was done In Philadcl
phia, and it suggests nice legal point.
ARMSTRONG WAS assaulted in Camden, New

was during this interval that HUNTER Wis

and the Neir Jcrscy court hdd no jurisdiction.
II this theory is correct it dcopcns the moral
guilt of HUNTER, while it may make against
the legality Of his conviction.
HUNTER has been convicted in New Jcr-
icy, and it IL the practice in that state to
hang convicted nurdcrcrs by the neck until
they are dead. Yet ne may obtain n new

appeared To Us amcnablc to criticism in
more respects than one. He checked one Of
the counsel for the prisoner in HIS anmad-
versions upon witness for the prosecution,
while he allowed the Prosecuting Attorney
