A PROMINENT member of the senate
is preparing bill for introduction
within few days to repeal the act un-
der which all death sentences are exc
cuted at the penitentiarv annex. He is
of the opinion that this law has proved
an unwise measure in several respects.
1t is his belief that the present system
is productive of many miscarriages OF
justice, for, removed from all the local
influences surrounding their crimes,
murderers succeed in imposing upon
the good nature of the pardon board
and the governor He is also of the
opinion that q judicial execution should
be so conducted as to be a lesson to
law breakers, and that ut no place
could it be so forcibly demonstrated as
at or in the vicinity of the scene of the
crime The bill will provide for the
execution of death sentences at the seat
of the county where the crime was
committed, as was in vogue prior to the
present system.
