A DEAD MANS LETTER.
Capital Punishment Condemned by a
New Jersey Murderer.

JERSEY CITY. y. j.. Feb. 10.-James
X. Brown, who was hanged in the Hud: on
County Jail yesterday. left the following
statement. with request that it be pub
lished:
The theory that hanging as capital pun
ishment has 3 deterrent effect upon MUIR
ders was long ago exploded. Hanging
goes en-, and homicide continues. We rail
against the lynch law which citizens OF
certain sections of this country are dis
posed &c respect. This is really the quick
est way OF adding one crime to another.
There is no good lessen taught by legal
executions. Down deep in the average
citizens heart he feels there is no valid
excuse slowly TO strange person to
death. He knows ii is a simple case OF
long premeditdtion-legal murder. \

press evidences, TO use that which he knows
to be periured evidence against an ac
cused person. To use all means, methods.
to take persons life. is undoubtedly tee

The above Is true in my case. The
prosecutor knows that | am innocent OF
any intent Z killing. and | feel in the
sight OF God that my conscience is clear.
Can James s. Erwin. at the hour of his
death, say the same? Has he not. by with
holding evidence that would clear me of
the charge OF murder, knowing the coGse-
quenoe to me, allowed my DEATHS he not
a murderer?
II hope that am the last person hung
in this GCd- -forsaken county. In the cou Sc
of twenty years or 50, perhaps the more
enlightened citizens will be politically
powerful enough to get a law to do away
with hanging. which is no more nor less
than a brutal exhibition. and pleasure
only to the morbid.
"A frightful EXAMPLE would be afforded
if the murderer was condemned 10 life
