7 He DEATH PENALTY
Bill to Reduce the Gases in Which It Nay Be
Inflicted.
signed ,, the e?Esre.,ae.t roa.y-rhe
Work ON the Measure Performed
b, esasrn, Curtis.

The bill to redascShhe cases in which the
death penalty mayf be inflicted for crime
was signed by the gresident today. This is
the bill which Representative N. NJ. Curtis
of New York succeeded, after many efforts
in getting through congress. The signing
OF the Dill today is,coincident with the an
niversary of the assault upon Fort Fisher,
which was led by Gen. Curtis.
Gen. Curtis led the assault against Fort
Fisher January Is. 1863. in which he was
successful after a desperate fight. This
achievement gave him the title of the hero
of Fort Fisher. The humanitarian measure
made law today he regards as prouder
achievement than his military success.
The passage of this bill is due to the per-
sistent efforts of Gen, Curtis. He has been
for many years collecting informa tion and
evidence from the criminal statistics Of this
and foreign countries, and has given a
brief summary of the results of his labors
In a pamphlet. which the judiciary COM
able report of his measure. (Report No
lOS, Fffty-fourth' Congress, first session..
1t gives the result of correspondence with
foreign countries through the State De-
Partment, and answers to inquiries pro-
pounded by him as to the offenses for
which the death penalty is inflicted In
th1rty-fve countries, and especially as to
the effects of partial or total abolition of
the death penalty OF the thirteen coun-
tries reporting a total or partial abolition
of this penalty. eleven reported the expert
ment as satisfactory. and that the adoption
of this course was followed by a decrease
in homicidal crimes.
1t is doubtful if so great a change in re-
ducing the penalties prescribed by the
Saxon laws has ever been made in a single
legislative measure as has been done in this
bill. While the offenses of murder, rape
and treason may be punished by death.
should the jury fail to add to their verdict
the clause without capital punishment"
it is very unlikely that the death penalty
will be hereafter inflicted except in the
most atrocious cases. There Is but On
single offense for which the law prescribes
the death penalty IN conviction. and that
is the fifty-seventh article of war for the
forcing a safeguard. All other offenses for
which the death penalty may be prescribed
are in the discretion of military courts and
the jury in civil courts in the three Of
fenses of murder, rape and treason.
