THE FjlEScIl IDEA.
In the mntter OF executive clenacncy, Chief
Brooks recommends tho adoption OF ,lEoti-
iticatlon Of tho Frcncl! police system, by
which the criminal sct Mt liberty bofore tl,u
expiration of Ills sentence shall bo compelled
ut stated times to repurt ILLS whereabouts to
tho Government, or bu considered mid treated
rs fugitive from justice. Tie adoption Of
such a system, llo thinks, would hnyo very
beneficial effect In the way Of reforming
criminals.

that Is to bo held over Dr0ckwhy's head tt

this Is the expectation Is fairly shown by Tho

Brooks. Speaking Of tlle CAPTURE Of Doylo IT
