IS A RELIC OF BARBARISM The Governor's nt Act llefore Iav lug for the Kat Yesterday Wm to Comiiiute Hasslng Sentence (ioveriior Hay He Will Again itec oiiiim-nd lo the Leirislature the AlNdlshiiM'iit of Capital Punish ment. About the last official act of Oov ernor West before leaving for a trip with the other governors of the west, through the effete east, was to com iiiute the sentence of Jans M. WU Ham Manning under sentence of death from Multnomah county, for the murder of his wife. Massing was to have been hanged December 19 and the crime was a peculiarly atro cious one. As the grovernor stateB however, there Is r strong probabil ity of Ilassng hnvlnx been lit the time In an Insane condition. This matter is taken up and explained in the statement by the governor hereto auuembvi. The governor takes the stand that the death penalty Is bar parous, a relic of uncivilized times, and that imprisonment for life g the greatest deterrent of crime. This necessarily means that Morgan, sen tenced to be hanged January 19, now In the penitentiary from Grant coun ty, will also escape the noose. The governor's statement Is as fol lows: No More lln nirlnir. There will be no hanging In Ore gon while 1 am governor of the stale. The old rule t hat bloodshed should be expiated by the shedding of blood Is. In my opinion, a relic of barbarism, and not In consonance or in keeping with the civilization or the spirit of the twentieth centi.re. It Is an anti'iualid and an uneco nomic reminder from the dark ages. I contend that the spirit and the civilization of this age call for the repeal of rapltal statutes as the pun ishment for tlr1 degree murder. I believe that Imiirlhoriment for life should be the penalty paid for shed ding human blood. "I recommended the abolition of capital punishment to the last legis lature. I will again make the same recommendation In 1913, tinlem the law has been previously amended at the general election of 1U12. "I will, and do, advocate the re peal of the capital Btatute, and the Imitation of thn pardoning power of the governor in relation to life sen tences for first degree murder. I hope to see this reform accomplished before the expiration of my term of office and the present barbaric law wiped from the statute books of this state.. The Official Oorainrnt. "Vheren, Jans V.
