paid the penalty OF his crime OF MURDER fresh ev-
idence Of his guilt III any was needed) Is coming
to light to augment the sense Of public satisiac-
ton with the course Of justice In his case We
are creditably informed by most respectable
citizen Of Weathersfed that on the day after the
murder Of White, and before anything was known
to the people Of the fact that murder had been
committed, n young man happened to call at
Gravelin's and found him washing blood from a
part Of his pig PEN that he asked Graveln what
he was doing that for? To which the reply was
made that he had been killing some chickens
and wished to clean up As the young man
turned to go away, Gravelin put hand on his
shoulder, and looking him sharply in the eye, said
Don't you ever open your lips to anybody about
this blood The young man was SO impressed
with the scene that he said to sister that he be-
leved White had been murdered at Gravelin's
but he did not venture to open his lips about
these facts until after the execution This evil
dence, not offered In the trial. II II had been used
wonld only have added confirmation to other
proofs which pointed with irresistible clearness to
Gravelin as participator, II not the chief actor
in the murder OF White. And we may now as
well add that other evidence, also of the most
conclusive nature, has recently come to light,
sufficient alone to exclude the remotest possibility
of error in the course OF justice in the case
