RAIsEs AN INTEREsTINa PoINr

Claimed Jersey Pardon Board Has No
Power to Commute Death Sentence.
Trenton, n. j., May 17.-Miss Mary
Philbrook. counsel for Libbie Cara
brant the woman who is serving a life
sentence In state prison, had a confer
ence with Governor Stokes and raised
an interesting point as to the power Of
the board of pardons to commute a
death sentence TO one Of life imprison-
ment Miss Philbroo5 contends that
the board has no such power. The con-
stitution provides that the board Of
pardons may remit fines and forfeit
ures and grant pardons except in i'm
parchment cases. The constitution rs
silent as to the committing of death
sentences to one Of life imprisonment.
II this point is well taken the board
Of pardons could not interfere in tho
case Of death sentence except TO grant
an absolute pardon.
There are now 10 persons I'm the state
prison serving life terms as a result of
having their death sentence commutod.
No one would think OF having them ex-
eeuted after these years. and If Miss
Philbrook's point should be sustained
they would an be pardoned. Miss Phil
brooks purpose in talking to the gov
ernor was TO have the board of pardons
consider tho legal point she has raised.
The governor will bring the matter to
the attention of the board
