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.
