Despite all these safeguards, an
innocent person is occasionally con-
victed and executed for 4 murder
committed by some one else.
As long as we have capital pun
ishment, innocent people occasion
ally will be executed. This is ine-
vitable, by the law OF averages or
its reverse working, the law OF eX-
ceptions.
There are loopholes and weak
nesses in every system devised by
the brain OF man.
The only comforting thing is thai
the system is slowly but surely be-
come iairer and less apt to make
the innocent pay the penalty for
the guilty.

The execution OF few innocents
attracts more attention than the
escape, IRON death penalty, OF a
great army OF guilty.
That is, to use an old expression,
a sign OF the times.
1t shows a national desire for
justice and an increasing valuation
placed on human life.
1t is not long since accused men,
under the Napoleonic criminal code
were presumed guilty until they
proved themselves innocent.

MURDERERS

Four thousand men, convicted OF
murder, have been executed in
America since 1890.
Some were innocent and, about
them, Alexander Herman writes an
interesting series of articles.
Modern America has an average
OF at least 5000 murders a year.
There probably were just as many
30 years ago, though fewer were
discovered. Crime of all kinds is
harder to cover up now than in
the 'nineties.
ON the basis OF 5000 murders a
year, the score since 1890 stands,
1000 executions. 2S0000 murderers
escaping chair and moose.
A considerable percentage OF the
latter go TO prisons or criminal in
sane asylums. But we are concern
ed only with actual executions.
