progressed to-day and a good deal of
testimony was given. John Land, whose
confession was telegraphed last night,

ments as to how the robbery was COM

Little asserts that Land Was not present,
and that no one participated in the rob-
berry except the old James Gang, while
Land says positively and reiterstes the
statement, that he, together with Bugler,
Motifs. Chapman and two or three others

New York, 1.-The dTi6aule'S London
cable says: The public read with in
difference the demands affecting Drs.
LamsOn and Sweeney. The best and
general legal opinion Is that few cases OF
circumstsntial evidence have ever been
known where guilt has been more con-
clusively established than in the Lsmson
case. The action taken in America has
created surprise because the points now
urged seemed to be little justified during
he trial. Whether DR.. Lamson is =
drunkard, or an opium eater, or whether
the administration Of p2isons in practice
was lis craze. it was clearly established
that the crime was carefully premedi-
tated aud deliberately carried out. There
is always large amount of sympathy
for persons under sentence OF death. DR..
LamsOn has aroused mparatively little.

says: We are authorized to state that at
the request of President Arthur the secre-
tary of state for the home department
has respited DR.. LsInsOn until the 18th
inst., pending The arrival of certain eyi-
dence from America. Sir. William Har-
court is always willing to afford adequate
time for the examination of circumstan-
ces alleged on responsible authority in
favor of n convict under sentence of
death. The prisoner, however, has been
distinctly warned that the respite granted
under these circumstances raises no pre-.
sumption of final reprievs or commute
ton of his capital sentence. It has been
the practice that when respites are
granted for the purpose Of further in
Iuiry into the matter either of law or
tact, that where the inquiry shows no
sufficient grounds for Interference The
sentence takes its course.
