Mr. Mills bill for the abolishment of capital punishment brings to mind the fact that the author has, himself been instrumental in send-; ing two men to the callows. While! district attorney of Bradford county, j Mr. Mills prosecuted Bigler and Charles Johnson, and it is admitted j that his work in connection with the ! case, and his masterful pleas to the jurys in the trials had much, viry much, to do with the convicting of the brothers. Mr. Mills was among those who watched Bigler Johnson die on the gallows in Towanda jail yard; and ' two years later to the day, ho was one of the few who saw Charles John son drop through the same trap, •mil meet the same fate meted out for his brother Bigler. Representative Mills ,it will be re membered, fought the application of commutation of the death setenc es and insisted that the mandates of j the law be carried out, and that the j Johnsons die on the gallows. They I died with ropes around their neck.-, and now the man who as county prosecutor worked tirelessly for! the conviction and execution, would ! have no more of it, but life imprison- : ment intead. Another bill introduced by Mr. I Mills is the making concurrence of j nine jurymen enough to render a ; verdict in a civil case.
