"One murder Is no remedy for an other, so nothing is gained to Bociety by killing a murderer, it's no lesson to tho criminally Inclined, and the records prove that it is no preven tive for crime. I believe that the punishment for murder should be life Imprisonment with credits for good behavior and the privilege of parole or pardon. This dons not kill hope 1n a man.
