One common argument agair.s!

land l^eadvr. *as hit hard in the
Richeson case It will he long be
fore that rhaso of solemn ob
ject lesion at Boston will oe*sc to
hat* its J we effect
The assertion is frequently made
that imprisonmowt for life is a:
more severe penalty than death and
that its effect in deterring those
tempted to murder is as potent as
capital punish tnent Certainly that
theory we*t ?ide of the mark is
the case of the your.g man who
has just pone to his death as a
warning to others who may have th
worn of crimes in mind.
Rirkfton struggled frantically foi
the privilege of living in a cell He
sought desperately to induoe the
Governor of Massachusetts to chang
his punishment from death to im
prisonment which should end onh
with his last breath Anything
seems far less terrible to him than
the electric chair
la this the murderer of Avis
Uinnell did exactly * hat outlaws
and desperadoes take for granted
that mer. ?i",l do They know what
penaiTy is most dreaded by violent
; nd ruthless c? .m;nals When they
have to d?a! *;th treachery to their
onramratiors or conspiracies they
kill if they can They have no
doubt about the most effect ive d^
terrer.t to applv to men of their own
stamp
There are arguments against
capital pcr:sv ment *hS~h hare real
torce and are entitled to serious
consideration but the claim that
life i? prison mer: is quite as much
dreaded by criminals is not one of
them
