But did this de- ter him 'I Has capital ~ punishment kept any one from committing mur- der ? You would think that it would have do so in the case of this man, whose name has been before tae pub- lw so lone.

P0De then went on to enume- rate the different causes for the death penalty of' fifty years ago, and urged that the State should not commit e. murder in order to show its spite .of revenge, Rev. Dr. B. F. Hamilton scored Mr Pune for his remarks in trying to ref move the death penalty. “This is a poor time to get on that platform to take away the death pen- "lty when Lawrence is so near. Let '"0 Say that I regard it as a poor time to remove tho law off the sta- tute hooks.

"The testimony thus far adduced before the committee," said Repre- sentative Sulzer, commenting on the prffgress of the Rainey investigation, “shows conclusively that the taking Panama was the result of a conspir- acy carefully planned and cleverly ex- ecuted: It cannot be justified in morals or law. The government of the United States must make reparation for the outrage to the republic of Colombia.
