a. Nothing can so effectively re-

b. As nothing is so terrible as
death, no lighter form OF pun
ishment can possibly serve as so
great a deterrent as the hanging

8. Murderers are people wrought
to a frenzy by real or fancied wrongs,
who do not stop to consider the ma
ture Of the penalty they must pay if
detected, and they always hope to es-
cape conviction. The prospect of
death awaiting them does not impress
them with terror, as supposed, and
few murders are avoided through the
extreme penalty meted out. If the
penalty were the most refined kind Of
torture, instead OF instant death by the
most painless methods known, will it
be claimed that homicides would less
