As the 18th OF February, the time set for the
execution of Wn. Bond at this place approaches
those who have interested themselves in having
his sentence committed to Imprisonment for
life have some fears that their wishes will not
be gratitied by Gov. Brown. The recent COM
mutation OF the sentences of four of the muir
derors Of DR. Hill in Cecil county has led to such
severe criticism in various parts of the state
that 1t is feared the governor will decline to in
terfere in the case OF Bond. Recently some
surprise has been expressed by those having
charge of the condemned man at the non-at-
tendance of his spiritual advisers. Shortly
after the prisoner received his death sentence
he was visited by several ministers, but since
that time their visits have been few and far be-
tween and lately have been entirely discon-
tinued. That this state Of affairs should exist
is very painful to the Christian portion of the
community.
