number Of requests asking for silver

change for silver certificates or other

smaller sums are ordered, the shipments
ar made at the expense of the person

No murder In the whole criminal
chronicles of the state attracted more at
tention than that Of Amasa Sprague,
which occurred on Sunday, December 81,
ls43 MIR. Sprague, the victim, was one
OF the most prominent figures in busi-
ness and politics In the state, but that
fact did not account for the great in
terest which the murder aroused at the
time, and, in f9ct, for many years after
ward. John Gordon, who was convicted
OF the murder anu banged for it, was
the last man to suffer death In. Rhode
Island for such a crime. At tho time OF
his conviction, and, for that matter, for
generation afterward. it was main
tsined by some people that he was IN
noce1t and that he was simply punished
to satisfy the powerful friends of the
victim. 1t was also a popular notion
that il was because it was finally discov-
cred that Gordon had been executed for
a crime he did not commit that the
capital punishment in Rhode Island was
abolished. AS a matter of fact such was
not the case.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-09-10

Long before the murder of Amasa
Sprague there had been strong senti-
ment In the State in favor OF the aboli-
tion Of the death penalty. Doubtless the
hanging of Gordon hao something TO 90
with the increase of this sentiment, but
it by no means gave birth TO it. Nor was
the hanging of Gordon followed very
quickly by the repeal of the statute pre-
scribing the death penalty for murder.
Gordon was hanged Feb. IL, is45, while
the change in the law was not made un-
til seven years later. And 1t is interest
ing to note that while the subject of
abolition was uD der discussion all sorts
OF propositions were offered to make the
life sentence of murderer sufficiently
miserable to satisfy the vindictive senti-
ment, which James Fitz James Stevens
was wont to say was one OF the safe
guards against crime. However, Rhode
Island rightly rejected all and decided to
treat all prisoners alike.

Italian murders have not been infre-
quont In this locality and some of them
were as cold blooded as that recent Sun
day tragedy in the Pawtuxet valley. A
homicide which at the time created much
excitement, occurred on Federal Hill on
a Sunday fourteen years ago. Achilles
De RoDbia was the victim and Rocco
Volta the slayer. The crime was the re-
suit of dispute over the character OF
young woman whom de Robbia proposed
10 marry. Volta. like the Pawtuxet
valley suspect, was l. Neapoltan and he
slashed his victim In frightful man
ner in the view of many people
In spite Of this fact, however, ne sue
ceeded In making his escape, ana for
many hours the police We're unable to
find him. Eventually he was traced to
the woods in North Providence, where
he haa secreted himself, and was arrested
there by detectives Parker and Swan.
Volta was subsequently tried, convicted
and sentenced to Imprisonment.
