the many letters sent you in regard TO
the hanging next month of this poor,
unfortunate woman, Matte Lomax, and
l wish to expresssmy opinion in refer
ence to same.
What would Jesus do?" is the oues-
tlon which comes to my mind as l read
or the case, and my sincere hope and
prayer is that mercy will be extended
toward this poor soul and she will not
be chok edNto death for her crime.
Thou shalt not kill is meant as
much for those who kill the murderer
as for the murderers themselves.
II God wished her to die there would
not have to- be any capital punishment
She would be found dead in her cell.
It?
1t would be better to put away all
those who take life and give them a
chance to become educated and made
useful to the world.
Two wrongs never have made condi-
tions right. and by hanging this woman
here in our Capital would leave in the
minds of the entire nation a feeling of
shame that never would be forgotten
May President Taft be the means of
having her sentence changed from death
to life imprisonment!

| 10 its justice. The law Of God does not
sanction II, neither does the heart or
man. On the tables of stone given to
Moses was written: Thou shalt do no
there was no penalty attached. God s
command stood, Thou shalt not"
Moses formulated the severa laws that
governed the Israelites;. he said An eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"
He said: He that sheddeth mans
blood by man shall his blood be shed. .
Yet Moses, the greatest law-giver and
moral code-maker that ever lived. killed
the Egyptian. He looked this way and
that, and when he saw there was no
man, he slew the Egyptian and hid him
in the sand" See Exodus chapter 2: 1lth
to 18th verse When Cain killed Abel
God put a mark on him that no man
should slay him. Christ said to the thief
on the cross, condemned to death: This
day shalt thou be with me in Para
disc"
And at the elimination of that fearful
sacrifice for the sins of the whole world
he cried: "Father.s forgive them, for
they know not what they do"
That was 1900 years ago, and yet to-
day men consign their fellow-beings 10
a death, through which they have al
ready passed in days and nights of an
guish which we could never realize,
with the words, May God have mercy
on your soul
How can the legal murder sanctioned
by the law of man be just? The hang
man, an officer Of that same law, has
from all time been held in horror ana
his identity kept secret. 1t has not been

appease the pangs Of hunger was ad-
judged guilty of crime and suffered the

hungry child: she was not hanged, but
a jury of her merciful countrymen
ical students that they might fully ex-
anime through a live subject the cir
culation Of the blood. This may occa-
sion doubt, but 1t Is so written.
The time for the law Of barbarians, or
whatever kind. is passed. When Gui-
teau killed President Garfield everyone
knew the horrors of that death caused
by the hand of n self-acknowledged
murderer actuated by personal disap-
yet there were lawyers found
to defend him.
When the good and pure Mckinley
fell before the bullet OF the assassin,
sent by an organization that plainly d.
clared its object to be the destruction
OF all law and order, men pleaded for
his life and sought to turn aside the
fact that we have a law and by that
law he ought to die" Even In those
cases II was evident that public opinion
was in a measure against capital pun |
ishment.
But capital punishment will never do |
away with murder nor any of the |
crimes that blot the earth.
Do not hang the woman, not because |
she Is a woman, but for the cause Of |
for the sake Of mercy and |
the brotherhood of man,
Black or white, man or woman, do
away in our fair land with that travesty |
OF justice-legal murder.

We, the officers and members of
the Vermont Avenue Baptist Sum
day school, do heartily indorse and

sentenced to be hanged for the muir

should go unpunished, but the hang

the ends of justice would be met by
committing her sentence from hang
ing to life Imprisonment and at the
same time have its effect on the COM

upon John Wilson. chairman OF the ex-

turn Of their mony, and had II not been

roughly handled.
Young carried Wilson to the station
house followed by the mob of excited
would-be excursiontists, where It was
discovered that during the melee the
man had been robbed Of a bag contain
ing about SIS of the receipts. AS much
of the balance as was left, however, was
returned to the excursionists, they filing
in the station one at a time.
Wilson later swore out a warrant for
the arrest of Joshua Leach, claiming
that he had assaulted him. A fine or

morning.

Manager Wilkinson makes a direct
charge that the Willard team, in the

told Rogers he should not associate
