catches the spirit Of a VIII 'msical idea
that the sentence OF the law has been

That such execution can be accom-

certain as the fact that the surgeon

rather than a penalty.
no possible grounds for this state OF

the guillotine, the grrote, the rifle, the

methods are in use, we do not think
that any one of them is necessary, nor
that they should be tolerated
We therefore recommend, in the name
