New York must endure the disgrace of such an occurrence, but the same thing could have occurred in any other State not sufficient ly advanced to abolish capital punishment. The victim in this case is Paul Chapman, sentenced by Justice Kapper of New York City. It may be said that no governor will permit such a sen tence to be carried out.
