Kavanaugh, of Chicago. to be a more

The jurist. in a remarkable opinion
handed down in sentencing Joseph
Welcome to life Imprisonment for
murder, contrasted death with the
tortured soul of a life convict in his
solitary cell and told the prisoner
that it is not correct to regard the
death penalty as the most severe
punishment that can be inflicted.
Welcome pleaded guilty to having
murdered Mrs. Mary Mclean, m

eight jurors were chosen. 1t was
shown that he forced his wife to be-
come a white slave and shot her
for refusing to give him money.
MRS. Mclean was shot and killed
while attempting to save Mrs. Wei

In sentencing Welcome Judge
Kavanaugh said: Welcome, you
have committed a terrible crime.
Your punishment is to be more ter
rible still. The instructive, unrea-
soning horror of mankind regards
the death sentence as a severe pun
ishment. This idea is not correct.
You are nov to receive a sterner
punishment. Your victim died but
once. You will die a hundred times;
you will suffer more the day you put
on prison clothes than she did in hal
death. After that there will be only
the hopeless, painful years from day
to day, from month to month
stretching out forever and in agony.
"In four or five years the eternal
solitude and silence will begin to
crush in upon you like an iron
weight. You hear that street car
bell ringing in the street as it passes
now. You will remember it in after
years as the most exquisite music.
1t will mean hurrying crowds that
go where they like to go and do as
they please: 1t will mean the great
est of all Decentralization
You can only dream Of it by day
and by night and your dream will
