MERCY bi Mk So brutal and cowardly was the crime. so cold blooded was the later burning of the victim’s body, that hardly a person in Luzerne county but feels that if there is a justification for capital punishment, here is jus- fren Commenting on the sentence the Wilkes-Barre Record said, “the death sentence was a victory for District Attor- ney Thomas M. Lewis and his staff, which successfully warded off the defense of intoxication and produced suf- ficient evidence for the three judges to arrive at their ver- dict in little more than an hour.” . Such comment following court trials leads us to won- der whether as a people we are looking for victory in our court proceedings or justice. If we are sincere in our con- viction that justice is the thing we seek, then there is no need to say that this attorney was “victorious” and that one was “defeated.” The courts are not legalistic athletic fields. We are not interested in the prowess of the op- posing council. We are only interested in justice. Too of- ten we have seen juries swayed by the ability of opposing council. Too often we have felt that clever lawyers have produced a miscarriage of justice rather than justice. We are glad that District Attorney Thomas M. Lewis and his staff presented their case in such a manner that justice was done.

This was the extreme penalty, as Capital Punishment is not legal in Michigan. ; Compare this to the long drawn out proceedings of the California Hickman murder case, with all the degrad- ing publicity in newspapers not long ago. Dr. Benjamin Rush of the University of Pennsylvania in 1792 and one of the earliest members of the Pennsyl- vania Prison Society, had this to say:—“The death of a malefactor is not so efficacious a method .of deterring from wickedness, as the example continually remaining of a man who is deprived of his liberty, that might repair, during a life of labor, the injury he has done to the Com- munity. . . . Let the murderer live, but let it be to suffer the reproaches of a guilty conscience.” Will Durant said regarding Capital Punishment: — “Once a hundred crimes were punished with death; then fifty; then twenty; now one.

SiX; THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA., FRIDAY, SPORT SLANTS SS Who will be the world series goat, this year? According to traditions of the game there must be a goat as well hero. ow ~ | the Athletics, was the goat last year and Pepper Martin the Hero. A bad throw is a bad throw any any circumstances, a strikeout is the | same always. The thing is to avoid making the bad throw or the muff or the strike- out at a deciding moment. An error and two outs is fatal, with nobody on, it may not be. When the eadoff man strikes out the first time he comes up, nobody thinks anything of it, but et him fan with three on the paths and two out in the last inning. .
