(Journal Special Serrlee,') "" Washington, Aug. 8. President Roosevelt in rejecting the application for a commutation of sentence In the' case of John W. Burley, a negro, now under sentence of death In tha District of Columbia Jail, for assaulting a little 4-year-old girl, states his reasons in ths following letter: White House, Washington; Aug. I. 1804. The application for the commu tation of sentence of John W. Burley is denied. This man committed the most hideous crims known to our laws, and twice, before be has committed crimes of a similar, though less horrible, character. In my Judgment this Is no Justification whatever for paying heed to the allegations that hs Is not of sound mind, allegations msds after the trial and conviction. Nobody would pretend that there has ever been any such degree of mental -unsoundness shown as would make people even consider sending htm to an asylum if he had not committed this crime. Under such circumstances, he should certainly be esteemed sane enough to suffer the penalty for his monstrous deed. I have scant sympathy with tha plea of Insanity advanoed to save a man' from the consequences of crims, which, unless the crime had been committed, it would have been Impossible to persuada any reasonable authority to commit him to an asylum aa Insane. Among them la the dangerous criminal, and? especially among those prone to oommlt this par ticular kind of offenaes there are plenty of a temper so fiendish or so brutal aa to. bs Incompatible with any other' than a brutish order, of Intelligence; but these men art nevertheless responslbls for their acts, ' and nothing mors tsnds to encourage orlme , among such man than ths belief that through the plea of Insanity or any other method It Is possible for them to ..escape paying tha just penalty of their Crimea, The crime in suestlon is ona to tha existence of which We largely owe the existence of that spirit of lawleasnesa whloh takes form In lynching. It Is a orlme so revolting thst the criminal Is not entitled to ons particle of sympathy from any human belnc. It la essential that ths punishment for it should be not only ss certain, but as swift ss possi ble. The Jury In this case did Its duty by recommending the Infliction of the death penalty.. It la to be regretted that we do not, have special provision -for more summary dealing with this type of cases. Ths more, we do to secure cer tain and swift Justice In dealing with thsee cases, the mors effectively do we work s gainst tha growth of that lynch ing spirit which is so full of svil omsn for this people, because It seeks to avenge one Infamous crime by ths com mitment of another of equal Infamy. Tha application la denied, and ths sen tence will be carried Into effect. THBODORH ROOSKVELT. mm nor. tab coaxxAro.
