advocates of the bill argued that the

out that a battleshlp cannot be

cago man who was found guilty in

half dozen members of the Vzral
family. Governor Deneen has stepped
in and set aside the verdict of ali
of the courts and decreed that he
shalp not pay the maximum penalty
for his crimes. Billik is to escape
the gallows and, according to the
status of his case now, is to be con-
fined in the Illinois state peniten-
tiary for the remainder Of his life.
Scarcely a day passes that some
one who has killed one or more per-
sons is not either freed or is given
a minor punishment. Executions OF
murderers have come to be very rare,
considering the number of murders
whicha1c committed. Occasionally, as
In the Billhk case, the courts find
the accused guilty of the crime and
fix the death penalty, but this is
usually the signal for a renewed at
tack by the attorneys for the con-
demned man and they Immediately
set about to secure a commutation of
sentence, retrial of the case or a
reversal of the decision by a higher
court. In the Blink case the courts
all agreed that he was guilty of the
multiple murders and decreed that he
should pay the maximum penalty,

granted him life in prison. The next
move viii doubtlessly be an effort |
on the part OF his attorneys to secure
a reduction in the number of years
he is to serve and after that, will be
a fight for pardon. No blame can |
be laid at the door of the attorneys, |
for that is their business. They are
paid for making the fight and the
man who can secure the acquttal Of
a guilty man is the criminal lawyer
whose services will be sought by the
defense in other cases.
We do not wish to be understood as
favorlng capital punishment. The
penalty OF Imprisonment in solitary
confinement for life with no hope of
pardon as the penalty for murder in
the first degree would doubtlessly
prove as effective, and even more so
than the death penalty when II is APP
piled so infrequently. The death
penalty, if it is never applied. !
should be repealed. In the Billilt /
case this penalty Is surely applicable,
II 1t is applicable in any case. Four
courts sought to secure the facts in
the case and all agreed that the YER
dict of murder in the first degree and
the sentence to death were lust and
right. Billik was within the shadow
Of the gallows several times, but was
reprievcd and, in the end, had his
commuted. If the laws fix
Ing capital punishment as the penal
ty for murder in the first degree are
never to be enforced, then let the
legislature repeal them and put an
end to this travesty.
Another thing. If the so called un-
written law Is to be made the basis
Tor defenses in murder cases, let us.
while eras!ng the capital punishment
laws from the statute books, write

Is scope shall be limited and not
given such a wide application.
