Salt Lake City, Utah.--The method
to be used hereafter in executing Grim

a topic widely discussed since the leg

The latest idea expressed is that
condemned criminals be allowed 70
take their own lives, after they have
exhausted every means to have the
death sentence set aside.
The state law now provides that
condemned criminals be executed
either by shooting or hanging, the
choice to be made by the person tc
