'the question OF 11
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!
In many sections it is getting
to be a hard matter to secure
juries to serve in cases where i
extreme penalty of the law is
possible. The aversion to capital
punishment is becoming
New England case . eighteen
members of one venire of jury-1
men went off as being opposed
to capital punishment.
It is a well-known fact that
many leading jurists of the!
country are radically opposed to
capital punishment. The new'
warden of Sing Sing prison is
one of the men before the pub-,
lie eye a great deal, who has to
handle all classes of criminals,
and he is opposed to capital,
punishment.
There may be some question
as to the necessity of such
such stringent action in most
cust's. dui mere are rnose wno
argue' that extreme sentence aj
merited in many instances.
If capital punishment is to be
' dished the people will hiivt
i<. be educated to this point,
in s >me localities, or they w:l!
multiply their transgressions
against law and order and take
ihe matter into their own
hands.
Many countries of the world
have abolished capital punish-,
ment and their crime records'
have decreased. It is set forth
that the demoralizing influence1
produced upon community,
state and nation through the,
operation of capital punishment
is of a despondent character and
conducive to degrading the
thought and actions of hundreds
of people who become
cognizant of the facts in the
premises.
Undoubtedly this is true;
then how much more awful in
its vastness is the execution of
capital punishment upon Sndi-; .
viduals without even the due
process of law? The mere con- ^
temptation of such a crime is ^
beyond comprehension and it 2
surely will not be long before ^
:i change for the better will come
about, when men will be more
regardful of their duty if ?
the conservation of life and up- i
holding the dignity of the law <
and the officials. The trend of i
thought, as indicated by the1;
difficulty in securing juries to serve
in such cases where cap- '
ital punishment is probable. '
virtually makes this a certain-,!
ty, which will bring about a <
better state of affairs in this ;
particular. ? Augusta Chroni cle.
