SAN FRANCISCO-What will be
the future of capital punishment
cases now that life has been placed
on a property basis?
This question soon will be echoing
~.out the nation as the result of
legal decision that has no parallel
in world history.
Stripped of technical wording, it
has been decided by Judge James NJ.
Trout that
ONE: A mans lite is his most i'm
portant possession.
TWO: That a man can go into a
court of equity to fight for his pig
or his barn or some other possession.
so why can he not fisht for life, his
rarest possession, in court Of
equity?
THREE: If this attitude is taken,
a man sentenced to die may be saved
by means of the injunction invoked
as in other property actions.
Hindu's Life Saved
And by this decision the Gallows
at San Quentin prison were cheated
of the neck of Ullah Mohammed, a
Hindu.
