THOMAS GBRRAND.

Thomas Gerrand, having again been
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, was for a second time sentenced to
death, on Thursday morning, by His
Honor, Judge Bonham. The day fixed
for the execution is Friday, the 18th of
January, at which time, unless Execu-
tive clemency intervenes, and his SELL
tence be commuted, he will in the name
of justice lie changed by the neck until
he is dead"
Many things connected with the case
of this boy murderer have eonspired to
render il one of great interest TO the
people at large, and especially to those
in the community where he has been so
long confined, twice tried, and twice
condemned to die. The unselfish labors
of humanitarians have been enlisted in
his behalf, his counsel has ably and no.
bly, defended him; all, in fact, that hu-
man aid, prompted by warm human
sympathies, for the lowly and despised
of earth, could do thus far, has been
done to turn aside the terrible vengeance
of the barbaric law, which is based upon
theory Of the dark ages, demanding an
"eye for an eye.P
Whether any further efforts will be
made to induce the interposition OF
Executive clemency, between this nn-
fortunate young criminal and the ig-
nominious death which awaits him in
the early days of the New Year, we do
not know. The blood of mortal
is upon his hands, and If the sentence be
carried out, his blood will be upon the
hands of those members of the Oregon
Legislature who defeated the passage OF
an act that would have blotted that
most inhuman stigma, capital punish
