HANGING ABOLISHED.
GOV. ADAMS SIGNS THE BILL,
The New Law to go into Eject In Ninety
Days-A Radical Change In the Punish-
ment of Criminals.

Denver, March 30.-Governor Adams
yesterday morning affixed his sigma
ture to House bill No. "A, by Engley,
abolishing capital punishment, using
pen made out Of n feather from Old
Abe, the eagle which the Eighth Wis
consln regiment carried through the
war.
The bill has become law and the
extreme punishment that can be in
tlicted for any murder hereafter com
mitted in Colorado is life imprison
ment. The law goes into effect in
ninety days.
The bill does not affect any cases
now pending in the courts, and the
penalty for any crimes committed
while the capital punishment law was
in effect is not changed.
When approached relative to his rca
sons for signing the bill, Governor
Adams at first declined to talk about
the matter. Finally he said: "In the
first place, the Legislature passed it,
and in the second place am in sympa.
thy with the bill. | do not believe In
hanging people. The operation of this
act will. in my opinion, lead to better
execution of the laws against the fel0.

punishment actin force. 1t is frequent
ly very difficult to secure conviction in
trials for murder"
Opinions vary good deal with re,
gard to the effect the abolshment of
the death punishment for murder will
have. Some attorneys and laymcn
hold that 1t will cause an increase of
murders. while equally strong opinions
are expressed that it is likely to work
In the opposite direction. Wisconsin.
Maine and some few other States have
no hanging law in force. In still other
States a man sentenced to death can.
not be hanged until the governor signs
an order authorizing execution. 1t is
still a question of statistical doubt
whether the penalty of death by hang
ing does or does not act as n deterrent
to would-be murderers.
