There was no evidence to show that he was in any way connected with the gang. The execution will take place between the hours of twelve and two o'clock. The proceedings of the court-martial in the case of Beall, the rebel raider and spy, now under sentence of death at New York, have been referred to Judges Advocate-General Holt for examination and report. There is little probability of a commutation of his sentence, as if that should be done there would be no reason for the execution hereafter of such desperadoes, whatever might be their crimes.
