Some are Of the opinion that the re-
storation Of capital punishment would
be q deterrent to the committing of
murder. Yet, they have no statistics
to show that states that have on th,ir
statute books, what many term illegal

crime. Judge Frank Nye of Minneapo-
lis in relation to the proposed legisla-
ton, says that he has always been
against this form Of punishment, and
says. further "Society Of the state
should not put itself in the same brutal
