REFUSES TO COMMUTE
KENT DEATH SENTENCE
By Emphatic Vote of a. to 1877 House Rejects
Bill After Counsel Who Appeared for the
Prisoner at His Trial and Attorney General
Sargent Reviewed the Case--Little Other
Business Disposed of in Legislature.

Friends of Elroy Kent made no
complaint that he has not had full
fair opportunity to make his last
plea for life to the Legislature of Ver-
mont. 1t is an unusual spectacle
for counsel to be admitted to the
fiocr Of the House to advocate a case
and never until this case came up
did the attorney general CT the State
appear before the entire House.
John d. Spellman of Rutland, who
was associate counsel for the de-
fense in the trial of Kent, was ad-
mitted to the floor Tuesday forenoon
on motion of Webster of Swanton
and discussed the evidence in the
case, speaking nearly an hour.
He WIS followed by Mr.. Howard
of Whiting and then Attorney Cen
eral Sargent took the floor. His
remarks were not concluded when
adjournment was taken at noon, and
he continued this afternoon, speak
ing dispassionately, reviewing the
evidence from the records, and with
out doubt his speech changed many
votes.
Indeed, it is probable the vote to COM
mute Kent's sentence might have been
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-12-08

much larger if there had been no gen
eral discussion of the bill. The at
tempt to save Kent's life proceeded
along the line of trying to review the
trial OF the case, when the real ques-
ton that should have been presented
was whether or not the Legislature
was disposed to exercise its clemen-
cy.
The bill committing his sentence
was defeated by a vote CT 1877 to a.
and this is the way the members
voted.
