this or anv other state, that the average jury-shies at a
verdict involving the sacrifice of human life. .Murder,
from the very nature of the crime, must be proven, to a
greater or less degree, by circumstantial evidence, and the
average man, sitting as a .juror, hesitates before casting his
vote to deprive a fellow being , no matter how degraded his
condition, of life. The result of this is the hung jury, the
failure to convict, and oftentimes, the cheating of justice,
all of which means lessened safety to society in general
and an increased drain upon the purses of the taxpayers
of the state.
"The report of the superintendent of the penitentiary submarine garden
records lo cases ot capital punishment in the last seven
and one-half years, the greatest number ever executed in
this state during a similar period. This in my opinion,
bears out the argument that the desperate criminal, rely
ing on the reluctance of the average juror and the caution
of the court in the imposition of the capital sentence, is
more willing to take a gambler's chance with death for
the furtherance of his criminal object, than he would be
to face the greater certainty of a life spent behind the bars.
"Helieving as I do, I therefore recommend steps to do
away with capital punishment in this state. But in this
connection I desire to urge that special and particular
attention be paid to the restriction of the pardoning power
for such cases. I hold that a sentence to life imprison
ment for murder should mean what it says, unless post
trial evidence should bring to light some glaring injustice
or very potent reason lor change, and I contend that the
substitution of life imprisonment for capital punishment
should carry with it such safeguards as would insure in
all cases that full justice be satisfied."
Mr. West also goes on record for prison reform and
extension of the parole system. lie says: "The parole
system has been adopted by the United States govern
ment and 17 states of the Union and has the endorsement
of practically ovovy student of prison reform. Our courts,
however, do not appear to give this law as much consider
ation as it merits, for the records show that out of 1041
convicts committed to the penitentiary since the passage,
of the law only 112, or 12 per cent, were given indeter
minate sentences. Some of (hose who were given the in
determinate sentence were repeaters, while many of those
who were denied the benefits of this most humane law and
sentenced for a definite time were voung men and bovs
who had never before committed a crime. As many of
those serving definite terms have good prison records'and
by their conduct have shown vvvvy indication of a desire
to lead better lives and become law-abiding citizens, it is
hoped that the legislature will see fit to enlarge the scope
of the parole law and make its provisions apply not only to
those who may be convicted in the future, but to those who
are now serving time.
"The inequality and lack of justice which exists in our
system has been removed to some extent through the ini
tiation by (lovernor (Miamberlain of the practice of grant
ing conditional commutations or pardons, but the state
should, through the expansion of the parole law, adopt a
i. . ii i i i I . i ,i
illinium I'lMicv which wouui uuiKc sucn aciiou i) me exe
cutive unnecessary and would also remove i'vov'y possible
excuse for the abuse of the pardoning power. The exten
sion of t lit parole system would be found extremely ad
vantageous should the state decide to use convict laboi
in the construction of roads."
