"Mr. Fogarty having been a form

and the wishes of the people; but his
testimony In favor of retaining the

steamers, which run. In conjunction

Mr. Abbeys testimony was no

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..
