COURT OF SESSIONS.—July 7.
William D. Gray was arraigned on three several indictments, two petty and one for grand larceny, to which he pleaded not guilty. This is the individual whose cloak Richard P. Robinson had on, on the night of the murder, and whose cloak was found in the yard in the rear of Thomas street. While Robinson was in prison at Bellevue, Gray was also there, and they contrived during that time to keep up a correspondence by letter, with each other. After Gray's arrest, a letter written by Robinson stating that he himself would be tried on such a day, acquitted on such a day, and that he, Gray, wanted to get clear of his wife and to get married again, that he would be able, when he got out to get a divorce from his wife, as he, Robinson, after his acquittal, would go and seduce her, and be an evidence for him to prove the criminal conversation; adding, that it was not the first time he had obliged a friend in that way. This letter was written only a few days before Robinson was to be tried for his life.
