No Discrimination.

Shall IA woman be put to death for
murder? This is the question that is
now agitating New York. Mrs. Place
of Brooklyn is now under sentence of
death at Sing Sing, next month. A
strong movement is being made to
have her sentence committed to i'm
prisonment Why? Because she is a
woman. There is no question as to the
hideous brutality of her crime or con-
corning her perfect sanity when it was
committed. She killed her step
manner. and then when her husband
came home at night tried to kill him
with an AK. They We're people in COM
Portable circumstances, living in one of
the best parts of Brooklyn. She was
angry with her husband and jealous of
her stepdaughter because of the affec
ton between the two. She had a fair
trial, and the court, having no discre-
ton, even if discretion We're desired
sentenced her to the electric chair.
Now shall the law be carried out, or
will her sex save the life her crime has
forfeited? The press and public senti-
ment in New York and throughout the
East seems to be divided upon this
question. Executions of women
though not unknown, are extremely
rare in this country. New York has
sentenced several women to death, but
some excuse always has been found to
justify communication of the sentence to
Imprisonment for life. No such excuse
in the present instance seems possible
| and therefore the question resolves it,
self into this form: Should the punish
ment given a man be given a woman
who commits a similar crime?
Her sex should not save her. The
law should know no sex in Furnishing
guilt. 1t is a mistaken idea of chivalry
which pleads for this wretched Great
ure's life. 1t is difficult to justify
capital punishment in a Christian land,
happy are those states where it is
abolished but if it is ever justifiable
it is so in the case of Mrs. Place. and
the law should be carried out. There
should be no discrimination. No laws
should be made for the punishment of
men TOO harsh for women who com
th1it .,-ir, ont ,,aa t.Il
considerations will combat this theory
but there is nothing sentimental about
woman who chokes and smothcrs
young girl to death and then lays in
wait in the dark and tries to kill her
husband With an AK. Sense, not senti-
ment, should prevail in the matter.
