capital crimes that although they have positively
abolished the punishment Of DEATH yet tho practical

from repetition of the shocking spectacles which have
occurred in each within few years past In New
Hampshire it is at the discretion Of the jury to convict
capitaly that the punishment Of death will not be
executed and this without any evasion OF the law or
neglect Of duty. In Maine when sentence Of death is
passed it is not to be executed within one year, nor
