by myself There has never been any incentive
to lifetime convicts for good conduct The bill
applies only to those now in prison, and in the
future the jury may convict for a term of life or
term OF years not less than thirty The good
time may reduce that to twenty two years We
should leave ray of hope for such prisoners.
Mr.. Campbell of Hendricks-It seems to me If
this bill is passed the warden of prisons NAV
choose to mark down every life convict now in
the prisons so they may be all set free Then
we are passing a law that every man guilty of
murder who has been in the prison long enough
to count up the good time under the present law
may go free don't believe we ought so hastily
to pass such bill. The pardoning powder can
be exercised in all meritorious cases. This bill,
