Judge] Humphreys then, in a slow, delibrate voice, addressed the prisoner, saying that there were yet two opportunities left for a further hearing of some matters connected with bis case, one of which is a question ot a legal char- acter, and the other a question which pertains to the merciful jurisdiction of the court. In the deci-ion which he (the court) had rendered, he bad upheld the law as he understood it, but ir Le was mistaken in refusing the motion for a new trial, the court in banc could correct that mistake. He saw no reason from the evidence to change bis determination to refuse the motion for anew trial. He felt compelled to aaminister the law as be understood it, and no feeling or sentiment should be allowed in the determina- tion of a judge administering the law. In case of a reversion of the action taken by this court this mormng in refusing a new triat, there is another and a higher tribunal, which will finally decide upon the merits of the case; and if that superior tribunal should arrest the sentence, it wonld give pleasure to no one more than the one who pass the sentence.
