MAY MAKE EFFORT TO REPEAL
LETHAL EXECUTION STATUTE

An effort will probably be made
at the next session oft he Nevada
Legislature to repeal the measure pro-
viding for the use Of lethal gas for
the execution OF murderers, accord
ing to State officials. 1t is held that
the unusual law has brought the
State much unfavorable notoriety and
defeated the ends 1t was intended to
serve.
An appeal from the sentence of
death imposed ON two Chinese is
pending before the supreme court of
the State. and until that decision is
rendered nothing will be done to-
toward providing the lethal chamber,
according to Governor Boyle.
