Not one of the many sub orned agents who were engaged in the eon et:ileac/ to murder, by judicial process, an innocent man, was arrested at that time, either by the order of Judge Holt or at the inotanee of the committee of investigation. All of these agents acknowledged that they had received large sums of money from Judge Holt, by the hen a of Colprer. who nemigned to them the several ports they were to plaj• in the terrible drama.
