LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Original, Compiled and Clipped from Var
igated Sources for Register Readers.

"Among the measures that are bound
to provoke earnest discussion in the
Vermont legislature is MIR. McFeeters'
bill to substitute life imprisonment for
capital punishment" says the Randolph
Herald. "Ths act takes effect from its
passage which means that the two men
now under the death penalty, Shaw and
Doherty, would escape the gallows II
the bill were to become law. Two
years ago, Mr.. McFeeters, then also a
member of the House, warmly advocated
a similar measure. At the same time
there was bill before the legislature
to commute the sentance of Doherty.
A strong presentation of this mans case
had been made, which enlisted the SYM
pathies of many members and had Its
effect on the main issue. At the very
notable debate, passed the Doherty bill
and the Senate passed the measure abol-
ishing capital punishment. Then, by
one of those curious and inexplainable
transitions that affect legislative bodies,
each House killed the others bill, and
both the law relating to capital punish
ment and Doherty's sentence were left
as at the beginning. By legal delays,
Doherty has been spared until another
session has an opportunity to consider
his case, as well as the whole subject at
issue.
