CAPrrAL PuxrsnNESr-A pamphlet has lntc-
" been published in England. written by an EN-
inent London barrister. in which strong grounds
are taken in favor Of the abolition Of the death
penalty. The writer says that capital punish
ment, so far from diminishing, only Increases
crime, and that its effect is brutalizing to the
last degree upon society. He proposes sub
stitute, that the imprisonment following the
conviction Of murderer should be absolutely
perpetual, and that those who enter tie gates of
the prison, should leave the hope of liberty, in
this world at least, behind them. He also IA
vors a system of solitary confinement of hard
labor and vigorous prison discipline. He rec
ommends separate prisons for those convicted of
capital offences and thinks that these should be
IF gloomy exterior, isolated from cities and
villages and, in fact, "the grave of the muir
ierer."
