CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Much is being said by the press of the
state on the subject of Furnishing Grim
inals. In many instances direct issue
with the courts and juries has been
made by the press for the leniency
with which the latter has dealt with
the murderers on trial before them.
and while there has been grounds for Just
indignation at the way some of the red
handed murderers have escaped the
gallows, the juries should not be blamed.
The fault lies in the technicalities OF
proof, pleading and proceedings, as it is
expressed by the Sherman Patriot.
That paper, in a well>written editorial
on the trial and conviction of Allen
Mathis, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary ninety-nine years for com.
hitting murder OF "the fouliest grade, .
takes occasion TO express its OPP
position to capital punishment.
After reciting the details Of the
siekening crime of the murder OF
Mr.. Mechanic, in which Mathis is
painted in colors which lead TO the
belief that he is young demon in
human form, the Patrol proceeds to
say:
As soon rs his sentence Is pro-
nounced, he will be removed forever
