No More Hangings
In State of Oregon
Yesterday afternoon governor
West announced that "there will
be no more hangings in th 1 s
cUle us long as I a in Governor,"
and he commuted to life impris
onment tho sentence of Junius
W. Ilussing, who murdered his
wife in Portland December 21,
11)10.
Unsung was convicted of m or
der in lha llrst degree for mur
doring his wife In Portland. In
passing on tho Ilussing case, in
tho course of his proclamation
the Governor says:
"Whereas, It has boon shown
by numorous prosentutlous
from 0. Moltke, Envoy Extraor
dinary and Minister Plenipotenti
ary of Denmark, and by P. C.
Knox, Secretary of State, and
otherwise, that the family histo
ry of tho said Jans M. William
Massing shows that the majority
of his immediate ancestors have
been aftlictod with Insanity, thus
raising the presumption of re
current attacks of mental Irre
sponsibility in the case of him,
the said Jans M. William lias
sing; and
Whereas, capital punishment
is, In my opinion, is a rolic of the
barbarous and mediaeval agos of
man and not in consonanco or in
keoping with ' the enlightened
spirit of the civilization of this,
the 20th century, and is not, in
my opinion, us great a deterrent
of crime as imprisonment for
life;
"Now, therefore, I. Oswald
West, by virtue of the authority
in mo vosted as Governor of the
Statu of Oregon, do horeby com
mute the sentence of tho said Jans
W, William Ilussing to that of
imprisonment in tho Oregon
Stuto Penitentiary for the term
of his natural life."
In his formal statement today
the Governor says:
"There will be no hanging in
Oregon while I am Govornor of
the State. The old rule that
bloodshed must be expiated by
tho shedding of blood is, In my
opinion, a relic of barbarism and !
not in consonunce or in keeping
with the civilization or the spirit
of the 20th century. It Is an an
tiquated and an uneconomic re
minder from the dark ages.
"I contend that tho spirit and
too civilization of this age call for
the repeal of capital statutes as
tho punishment for first do
gree murder. I believe that im
prisonment for life should bo tho
penalty paid for shedding human
blood.
"I recommended abolition of
capital punishment to the lust
legislature. I will again make
the same recommendation In
1013, unless tho law hiiB been
previously amended at the gen
eral eloction of 1912.
"I will, and advocate the re
peal of the capital statute and the
limitation of the pardoning power
of tbe Governor In relation to life
sentences for first dogreo mur
der. I hope to see this reform
accomplished before the expira
tion of ray term of office and tbe
present barbaric law wiped from
the statute books of this stuto."
