PHILADELPHIA, March 2O-James Ora
ham, aged 81, single, has been arrested on
the charge of numbering John NJ. Arm
strong, at Camden, N. j., January %, last,
and confesses to the crime. He was an ap-
prentice under BENZ. Hunter, now in prison
on the charge, and says Hunter agreed to
pay him if he accomplished the deed. He
had several interviews with Hunter, and the
object OF the murder, he says, was to get
money from insurance companies. Graham
has been of dissolute habits of late. His
confession is believed by the sheriff, who
states that the prisoner tells the story with q
minuteness which confirms all the knowl-
edge in the hands of the authorities. There
is great excitement both in Camden and here
over these startling developments.
The startling part of Graham's confession
is where he details how Hunter visited the
house of the wounded man when he was at
the point of death, and going to the bedside
OF Armstrong in the absence of lady mem-
Der OF the family, pressed the victims head
and made the wounds bleed fresh again.
| Graham says that the plot to murder Arm
strong was carefully matured, and that he
agreed to do the job for two hundred dol
lars.
