sion OF Thomas Graham. Hunters accomplice.
and the subsequent conviction Of the latter. are
the principal points OF that story. Every effort
has been made to save Hunter from tho gallows.
His counsel Sccor Robeson and Aaron Thomp-
son, on Monday presented arguments for a now

Seven reasons touching the validity OF the
Court and fifteen for a new trial, were over
ruled, Tho Court. having given its opinion,

The auditors stood up and leaned their nocks
forward to catch every word that might be
uttered. Every eye WAS turned upon the
prisoner, who seemed the calmcst man In tho
room, Not muscle Of his faco twitchod.
Standing with his arms folded across his breast
he replied calmly:
Il have nothing to add to what has been said
by my counsel"
Judge Woodruff then ordered Hunter 10 be
