HARRISBURG, Nov. 7.-Further argument has been heard before the pardon board in the case of James P. McCabe sentenced to death on Nov. 10 for murder in Wayne county. His counsel stated that the special meeting of the board had taken him by surprise and that he was not prepared to argue the case. Attorney-general Kirkpatrick informed him that no further extension of time would be given by the governor, whereupon he presented affidavits alleging McCabe to be a drunkard and not of sound mind. This evidence was set off by the affidavit presented by the district-attorney in which a physician who examined the condemned man this week says he is sane and healthy. No decision was given by the board.
