There are FIVE states where capital pun
sishment does not exist-Maine, Michigan,
Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Kansas In
the last named state the death penalty
may be inflicted upon a warrant OF the
governor, but such warrant is neven
signed. Iowa abolished capital punish
ment' some years ago, but reenacted IL
after the number of murders in the state
increased. Colorado abolished the death
penalty in 1897. Shortly afterwards
there was such an outbreak Of rioting,
murders and lynching that the law was
amended in 1891 so that a jury can in
hict either a death penalty or life i'm
prisonment.
CAPITAL punishment is not practiced in
Portugal. Holland. Roumania, Finland.
Costa Rica, Venezuela. Brazil. Ecuador,
Guatemala, most of Switzerland, and
practically not in Belgium, and Italy.
Russia abolished capital pupnishment In
1853, except for political offenses, but
the law is interpreted so literally that
