of advertisement for the fighting

Democratic leaders today lashed

by the House in 40 minutes, Is ex'

Capital Punishment Letter
Wins Convert

To the Editor Of The Times:
was greatly interested in the
letter Of James P. Briggs, of the
Anti Capital Punishment League,
which was published on June Z.
The weight of opinion which it
revealed against the death penalty
set me to thinking as to how I
could maintain my belief that
those guilty of capital crimes
must forfeit their lives as an ex-
ample for restraining other indi.
viduals from committing similar
crimes.
Naturally the support for my
position would come, if at all,
from statistics of States and coun'

He was moving the lawn on
M. Hampton Magruder's home

tai punishment. To my utter sur
prise I find that, almost uni.
fornly, there were less so-called
capital crimes in States and coun-
tries not having the death penalty
than in those which do have it.
So, If the proof Of the pudding
is in the taste, the pudding with
the harsh ingredient, in this case,
should not be so highly regarded
as the milder variety. I am now
converted to the substitution Of
life imprisonment for capital pun
iShment, not only from the stand
point of expediency, but as to as
surance that the State may not
execute a man who is afterwards
shown to be innocent.
