DEATH SENTENCES.
NEW CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION RAILS
ED CONCERNING COMPUTATIONS.
Petitions a Prerequisite to Action by
the Governor.
Especial to the Times-Democrat.l /

jackson, Miss, December 81.
Gov. Vardaman today made an
important decision respecting the
procedure to be observed hereaf-
ter in his department in dealing
with petitions for commutation,
where a convict under sentence of
death applies for commutation to
life Imprisonment. Heretofore
the custom has been to commute
sentences of death without requir-
ing publication of the petition, as
required by the Constitution in
cases of pardons. Gov. Varda-
man has reversed this policy in an
official communication to Attor-
ney General Williams, the matter
having been brought to his atten-
tion by the Attorney General in
an inquiry asking the Governor
if, in his opinion, it was necessa-
ry to publish petitions for COM
mutation.
The decision of the Governor is
directly in line with the rulings
of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, but the opinion of the
Supreme Court has been over
looked heretofore and there are
now many convicts in the State
penitentiary whose sentences have
been commuted without pubIica-
tion of their petitions. If the de-
cision of Gov. Vardaman is cor
rect, and there appears to be no
question that it is, all such con-
victs are legally and constitution
ally dead in contemplation of law,
their sentences not having been
legally superseded, and the ques-
tion now arises, can these men be
held in the penitentiary under a
judicial sentence of death9 By
the sentence of the courts they
should be dead, and the commuta-
tion edicts are not valid because
they are in contravention of the
Constitution. The Constitution
provides that mo pardon shall be
granted until the applicant there
for shall have published for thirty
days" in some newspaper his Pc
tition for pardon.
The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, refer
red to as settling the question, is
in Sth Howard, ii the case Of Ex
Parte William Wells. = Wells
was sentenced to death, and the
President granted him a pardon
of the otfense of which he was
convicted upon condition that he
be imprisoned during his natural
life; that is the sentence of death
is hereby commuted to imprison-
ment for life." A habeas corpus
proceeding was instituted to se-
cure the release of the prisoner
from the penitentiarY, on the
ground that the President had no
right to grant a conditional par
don under the Constitution, which
provides that the President shall
have power to grant reprieyes and
pardons. /" 1t was argued that the
commutation was neither re-
prieve nor a pardon, and that
therefore the prisoner was illegal
" held. The majority of the
court held in substance that the
power to pardon in full embraced
the lesser power to pardon condi-
tionally or commute. Two of the

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty Of

consumptive So and 100
years ago.

can stomach it. The idea

judges, however, ID very elabo-
rate opinions, held that the pris-
oner should be discharged on his
writ Of habeas corpus.
The decision rendered by the
majority Of the court was placed
upon the doctrine of common law
and the practice of the kings Of
Great Britain in granting re-
prieyes and conditional pardons,
and the court reached the conclu-
sion that the President could, un-
der the terms of the Constitution,
pardon man from a death SEN
tence upon condition that he sub
NIT to life Imprisonment.
The provision of the Constitu-
tion Of Mississippi is practically |
the same as the provision Of the
Constitution of the United States,
which was construed in the case
above cited. GOV. Vardaman
holds that as Communication is |
simply a conditional pardon and
an incident to the right of pardon,
a petition for commutation of SEN
tence must be published precisely |
as a petition for pardon is requir
ed to be published. His view CO.
incides with the opinion of the
majority of the Supreme Court in
the Wells case. and as stated. it i
raises the very important ques-
tion as to the. present status of
conyicts now held in the peniten-
tiary by combinations where
such Communication petitions were
not published. Under the decis-
ion in the Wells case, while the
Governor would have a perfect
right to commute a death sentence
to life Imprisonment by condition
al pardon, he, of course, would be
compelled to comply with the
Constitution, which prohibits the
granting of such pardons without
publication of the petitions.
In dissenting from the decision
in the Wells case, Justice Nc
Lean said the prisoner was ille-
gally detained because the condi-
tion was void, and should there
fore be discharged. He contend
ed that the Constitution gave the
right to reprieye and to pardon,
and that a conditional pardon was
neither a reprieve nor a pardon,
and was therefore void. Justice
Curtis followed to the same pur-
port, and Eeld that the prisoner
should be released.
Gov. Vardaman's reply to the
inquiry Of Attorney General Will
Iiams is as follows:
Hon. VIM. Williams, Attorney
General, jackson, Miss.
my Dear Sir In reply to
your inquiry as to whether or not
it is necessary under the law to
have a petition for the commuta-
tion of the death penalty to life
Imprisonment published, / have
this to say:
Section 124 of the Constitus
ton of Mississippi contains this
language: No pardon shall be
granted before conviction; and in
cases of felony, after conviction
no pardon shall be granted until
the applicant therefor shall have
published for thirty days, in some
newspaper published in said coun-
ty, and If none is published
then in an adjoining county,
his petition for pardon. setting
forth therein the reasons why
such pardon should be granted.
To commute the sentence of
the death penalty to life impris-
onmenb is a conditional pardon,
but nevertheless a pardon, and
the law provides that no pardon
shall be granted until the petition
for same shall be published, etc.
Therefore, it is clear to my mind
that the Governor has no author
ity to commute the sentence until
the petition shall have been pub
lished, as other petitions for par
don for a felony
