heartily favor the adjustment of cap

THE whole spirit of the times is
against capital punishment" said Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president Of
frage Association. although not
often is it proved that a man has
been executed on false evidence,

Hampstead Woman
Says Russian Prison
Life Was a Delight

The life of political prisoner in
Russia, according to young woman
who was one for seven months. is
one long dream of delight, with private
maids, bath every other day, excellent
meals daintily served, pleasant little
recreational features and nothing to
do till tomorrow. At least it was
that way in 1917, when Marie An
tome LeBrun, of Hampstead, L. l..

and was kept under close surveillance
IN political prison in Pctrograd.

Mile. LeBrun made constant efforts
to secure her release. She wrote four
times to the Minister of Justice of
Petrograd, but the Minister was never
IN office long enough to be able TO
take up her case. She wrote to Keren-
sky, but Kerensky evidently was very
busy, because he didn't answer her
pleading note. She wrote to the Sc
cret service, and was Informed by an
official that she had been forgotten,
but otherwise everything was ali right.
The secret service eventually found
