said, “the death sentence was a victory for District Attor-

. Such comment following court trials leads us to won-

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. We are not at all concerned nor prone to call

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. Let us make the record
clean. Let us complete this moral evolution, and climb
another step to civilization. Let us rid our souls of this
