the murder Of Deputy Sheriff Haskins of
Charlemont, Governor Foss OF Massa chu-
sets wrote. in part, as follows:
Il hope that in time a man Of brutal
instincts, as Phelps undoubtedly was. II
he commits such a serious offense as his,
will be confined in prison where he can
be kept from doing injury, but where he
can at the same time work hard for the
support Of his family. II Is my opinion
that Friday mornings tragedy. with the
wide and morbid publicity which it re-
ceives. can be Of no benefit whatever in
Massachusetts,.
That tragedy demonstrates to Grim
inals that, so far from holding life
sacred, the state itself will take It under
sufficient provocation, and In manner
which the criminal must always regard
as punishment
rs 1t not therefore. to be inferred that
a criminal, when tempted to acts of vio-
lence in a moment when crazed by anger
or fear. may feel himself entitled to do
as the state does"
