certain and terrible. capital punishment
should be abolished. murder and rape pun.
ishabie by life imprisonment. and pardon
power over life sentences taken from the
/ executive. Conviction for capital crime Is
often prevented by prejndic. or sentiment
against taking life by law. there being few
/ jurles upon which there are not members
opposed to death penalty. Eliminate capital
punishment. deny pardon and you insure
certain conviction. Destroy the Incentive

greater fear OF the law than under the pres.
ent system. which affords so many oppor.
tunities Of evasion and escape. Certain and
speedy punishment for outrageous crimes Is
the only remedy for lynch law
