HARD ON CRIMINALS.
Rev. Cyrus F.. Wixon Advances
Startling Idea.
He Fnvors the Determination OF All
Lawbreakers Guilty of Capital or
State Prison OTenses by
Means Of ChIOrOform,

Rev. Cyrus f. Wixon, retired Meth
odlst clergy lyman, of Newburg, N. Y,
recently announced at meeting of a
Chautauqua circle that he was in favor
of the determination of criminals.
Asked how he would exterminate them,
he replied to a New York Herald re.
porter:
1.-The guillotine is too bloody, hang
ing is too violent and electrocution is
too uncertain and expensive We don't
know how much the criminal suffers.
When criminal has committed two Of
lenses | would chloroform him. don't
think it is right that hundred thou
sand criminals should be saddled on the
pockets of taxpayers. Criminologists
say that crime is hereditary. Yes.
would chloroform them"
Rabbi Hartog Weld asked Mr.. Wixon
if he did not think there was a chance
for reform.
"There is not one criminal in a hun.
dred that is ever reformed" replied Mr..
Wixon.
'Iou are older than l." rejoined DR..
Neld, and though | have had eXpe-
rience as prison chaplain | will not
contradict you," and then the matter
was dropped.
Rev. Mr.. Wixon is mild-mannered,
benign looking gentleman, about 65
years old. When asked to define the
line of otfenses which he considered
called for the death penalty he replied
"As to what classes of people should
be subjected to capital punishment, |
would include those whose offenses are
adjudged capital now, also state prison
offenscs. Capital punishment should
be inflicted in those cases after the sec
ond offense. l may add that there are
some state prison offenses which con-
slider should be capital crimes, such as
polygamy and cases of great violence"
In response to a question as to how
he would carry ont this proposition
Rev. Mr.. Wixon said:
I'm the first place it would be nee
essary for some of the laws on our

In the Austrian court it is contrary
to custom for perishable articles to ap-
