The Governor OF Rhode Island de-
cares that the abolition of the death
penalty in that State has been demon
strated TO be u wise law. The penalty
for murder in Rhode Island is impris-
onmcat for life, and the Governor pre-
scnts statistics to show that as to
crimes of violence that State is en-
ccptiona!ly free US compared with
other States. and the trials and con-
victions there are speedy. In this re-
srcct it approaches nearer to England
than any of the United States.
