Mat Hunter Sentenced to Life in Prison

Mat Hunter of Mt. Ayr, son of Dr. F. Hunter, formerly of Bellevue, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life last Friday by Judge Parish for the murder of Homer Holland, while engaged in a card game for money. The judge lectured Hunter severely and told him his crime was cool and deliberate and was without extenuation.
