The experience Of states which have
abolished capital punishment has been
such, and so many attempts TO do away
with the death penalty in this State
have failed. that there can be little
ground for expectation that our pres
ent law will soon be changed In such
wise as to abolish capital punishment
Tor murder in the frst degree But 1t
may be we'll to seriously consider
whether the method OF execution ought
not TO be changed in Vermont There
seems to be less sympathy for MUIR
aerers. and less opposition to capital
punishment in the states where the
Electric chair is used. than where the
Eallows is the instrument OF death. The
spectacle OF a human being. especially
II the being be a woman, strangling to
Death at the end of rope. seen in
imagination, for few ever see it in fact,
is SO shocking to many sensitive per-
sons, that they clamor for abolition Of
the death penalty in order to get rid
Of the gallows. The thought of chair
in which the murderer sits for a mo-
ment till a button is pushed and an in
stantaneou and painless death ensues,
is far less shocking. II the next Leg
islature should. as previous Legisla-
lures nave done, refuse to lighten the
penalty for murder, it may possibly
think best to make the method Of exc
cution less repulsive.

As a rule but one side of the evidence Is
produced. and the case is almost in
variably discussed from whatever facts
or opinions are presented by the lawyer
or lawyers engaged in the not wholly
laudatory task of preventing the law from
being executed.
Moreover the case had once been con-
sdered by the Legislature. and the ques-
ton urged In support of the petition for
a rcprieve, that Mary Rogers was not
responsible for her crime. was consider
cd to a very considerable extent by the
lawmakers. The lawmakers not only re-
fused to commute the sentence Of Mary
Rogers. but as We are informed by mem
bers of the Legislature. the cold-hlooded
and long premeditated crime was so
clearly established that In the face OF
this case they did not dare to abolish
capital punishment and substitute life
Imprisonment. Indeed the question Of the
guilt of Mary Rogers vas not seriously
raised by her attorneys, and their chief
efforts have been devoted. so far as her
part was concerned to throwing doubt
upon her sanity.
In every instance where embarrassing
complications have arisen in connection
with the case, II has been the direct or
indirect result of yielding to plea on
the part of the unfortunate wotnans at
tOrneys for further time in which to con-
reasons why the execution should not
take place. Three years have elapsed since
her atrocious crime vas committed. and
the attorneys certainly can not claim they
did not have sufficient time IN which to
prepare their case or put any evidence OF
moment they had before the proper hu-
thorities The provisions of the law re-
garding the safeguarding Of life and pre-
cautions against mistakes were thorough
! ~ and fully complied with. as to the
| holding of the execution after a Legisla-
ture had opportunity to pass upon the
sentence. the case had been considered
by the county court and after reference
to the Supreme Court of Vermont the
! United States Court for Vermont and
the United States Supreme Court ana
Governor Bell. thus gave the attorneys
! for the condemned woman the advantage
Of every doubt until further dela! ma"
become intolerable regards the cause
of justice. one of the demands of which
is prompt penalty for crime.
Under all these circumstances II Ill be-
comes the attorneys for Mary Rogers tc
try to throw blame upon Governor Bel
for refusing 10 further their designs, and
TO make possible further juggling viii
justice in the partial interest of one Of
the most cruel murdcrcsses in the annals
of American crime.
