Special Dispatch {0 Tha Tribune, PueApeLenia, March 2f.—~Graham's re- markable story about the murder of Armatrong bas been corroborated by adaitional evidence to-day. Tho wife of Gralom, who scemed as broken a8 a woman could be, talked freely to- day, and rald she was ¢lad her husband had made such a complete cunfession of his participancy i the crime. Bold sho: * When poor Tom worked at his trado he was & good enough man. Oceastonally he would tako a drink, but not sufficient to hurt Wim or his family, When he got out of work and went into the huckstering business he felt that he bad descended in the soclal scale, and became more adlicted to driok, Then this man Junter began to visit him, and our troubles began. 1is entire na- ture scemed to undergo s comblete change. He scemed to be entirely under the control of Hunter, and beeame more and more addicted to drink. Ican safely say that Hunter has been Nis rul. 1 noticed for some time past that the oflicers have beenfekeeplug a watch over the house, but could not guess what it was for. 1fecl satisfled that, If llunterkad ever gut out of prison, miy husband's life would not havo e proposed to provo that the defendant had threatencd once before to kill John Robertson, Mr. Reed then read the statutory definition of what constituted murder, and claimed that { the killlog of Robertson was murder and noth- fog leas. This was probably the most Important. + case ever tried Jn Lake County since {ts organ- fzation. The deceased had resided within the conilnes of the county for forty years, and had brought up o family and acquired wealth and } gochal pusition, Mr. Reed then stated the cir- cumstauces connected with the homicide. Mit. BEAILES satd that before ho began his addresa he wanted the witncases excluded from the court-rooi,— both those for the Pcople and for the defense, ‘The Court so ardered it to_be, and some thirty persous got up and started for the door, Mr. Scarles said that be agreed with Mr. Reed s to the Importanco of the case. 1le ngreed also with that gentlemnan's statement that neither e nor tho relatives of the deceased Kobort- son entertalned avny vindictive spirit in the pros- ecution. But ho doubted {f suy attorney could 0 bear bimself throughout the courso of a long trial us to ayoid tho appearance of parilsanship. 1 Mr. Reed could do so, his fechings must bo well tratued. Mr, Scarles then took up the story of the tragedy from his point of view. lle clalmed that the road about which the dispute occurred was nover lawfully opened, and detalied the story of the assauft by tho farner Allen on young Davison, for which Allen was tried and flued 200, “Iits declsion was appealed trom, aud Robertson went on Allen's bail-boud. The speaker went over the whole histors of the roads and the crection of the fences, und claimed renerally that Dayvison had a right to fence up the old track, which had never been properly located. Ho clatmed that Allen had threatened Davison's life. Cotuing down to the day of the tragedy, he contended that Landan, ‘Robert- son's hired man, who accompanied the Com- missioners to the sceno of the murder, was a desperate fellow, and introduced a very peeuliar story in regard to a plot to rob Robert- run's sufe, concerted by Robertson himscll and some Chicago detectives, in order to capture on Little, which plot was frustrated by Laudan, Tins story Mr. Searles sald he had introduced to show that Landon was a fighting man. According to Mr. Scarles’ declaration, Davison conducted himself on tho day of the Tomicido with the stricteat moderation, and simply stood upon his legal rights and defendod his property sgalnat tresposs, having previously announced tothe Cominissioners his fntention to do so. Mr. Bearles ownedjthat Davison and his son were both armed with sticks—very little ones, though. Wheu Davison told the Commission- ers that ho could defeud bls property and \ lis person, they scot Landan off to” fetch Allen and bits hircd man, When Landan re- turned ho bad i bis hands something which Charles Davlson supposed to be a gun, and which ho placed In the wagon. Davisen took up & position on the fenco with the atlck in his hand, Allen druve up to the fonce, aud sald bo LYMAN PECK, a farmerresiding at Palatine, knde Davison, antl called upon him in August last about a sit- uation as school-teacher for his (witneas') nfeco. On this occaslon the subject of the road camo up, and Davison told witness to walt for him, a8 ho could 1ot otherwlse get through the road, Ho spoke of tho obstructlons which ho bad placed on tho road, and sald that If they per- sisted In opening it there would bo bloodshied. Witness had never had any trouble with Davi- son. witncss sald that he met In cross-cxaminati Davison at the school-house fn Putnam Dl trict, two miles or 50 from hisfarm. There wi 0o ong elsc there at the time, and tho conversa- tior was a general onc. The boy Davison let down tho rail-feuce for witness to pass through with his horsc and buggy, Witness was not well acqualuted with™ the ueighbor- hood or its residents, and did not know Allen, Davison directed the attentlon of witness to the brush lving i the road. Ifo did not say that Allen had threatened to shoot any one who moved tho brusl, but ae said, * The man_who put that brush there will shed the biood of whoever tries to movo 1t away.” Nor did he give permission to witness to let down the fence It he should not be tlioro on witness’ return. 1o sald that his fence had beon taken down, but did not say by whom. 1n redirect examination, witucss sald that ho wasalmost & stranger in the nelghborhood, which was acven miles from his home, JOSEPH WILTNEY, residing at Lako Zurich, liad somo conversation with Davison at his (witness') house {n January or Februaty, 1877, Mrs, Whitney and somo of the chifldren were presont at th Ume. Davison sald that ke could shoot Rabertsan and haye as sweet a niglt's rest as be ever had. Witncas had never had any trouble with Davison. In cross-uxamination, witncss denled that he ever took s partisan sldo in the coutroversy be- tween Allen aud Davison about the sheep, Wit ness was a constable, and served the papers (n thasuit. Ilo was aleon witness 1o o civil sult, but did not know that any bad feellng arose Lotween them over this fact.
