PUBLISHING DETAILS.
Albany Jan 1s-In the Senate tonight Mr.. Parker
submitted the supplementary report Of the Capital

resolution. The report deals exclusively with the
question whether newspapers shall be allowed TO pub

ers dwell on the fact that such reports have never been
authorized by law and that the early English law pro-
bibited them The Commission, in framing the law,
thought it was best to exclude newspaper witnesses
and that TO prevent the publication OF accounts Oh
executions should be the main objects OF the law
While the old law did not prohibit newspaper pub
lcatOn it deemed best that TINS law snouio oo
So because the sensational stories which TO-DAY form
the staple attraction OF many Of our modern papers
makes exaggerauon necessary In the matter OF the
details of an execution The Commission believes
that the abatement of what has occurred, made In the
report which is a public document answers every
uurpose There is a vast difference between FURNISHING
Information legitimate purpose and furnishing the
community with accounts more less sensational and
