If offenders own life
the only one exposed the
cure would be no worse
than suicide

But by the turn of
Public opinion a man
enabled to take the
command of another and
enforce his command by
fear of capital punishment

But by reason of an unfortunate turn twist taken by the
Public Opinion Tribunal under the dominion of early, if not primævil
barbarism by the turn taken in that early and immature age, and
though the vis inertia of mind continued down to the present time
by this combined compound act of folly combined with atrocity cruelty a
man is permitted to take the command of another man
of any other, of other on any , and make his for
his own benefit or his own caprice (which is the benefit corresponding
to the pleasure of the moment inform his by
the fear and danger and fear of mortal commonly called
capital punishment.†
