Capt. PEBBLES said that the Judiciary

able light. We did not recommend this

not hurt another. We must not break
| dawn the barriers. Our Senators have
been speaking that our liberties may not
| be wrested from US. This bill appeals
| to every mans feelings. But we must not
| let our hearts run away with us. If we

will want to do it. If any legislation is
! needed, let Us punish the boy. II seems
