hanging :last . week .of a twenty -year-old •
youth may definitely influence the • outcome:'
Marvin McKee, ' went to the gallows; at
Parry,Sound to pay for a crime of which ;`
he' was guilty and "ready to go," but with •
a plea on his lips to .the effect that he
would ° be the last to. be hanged.
i
Wthout malice, and after willing his -
eyes •to the 'Eye
Bank of Canada, the youth
wentto his death courageously. Before
stepping onto the steel trap, he appealed
to the official -witnesses at the; hanging, I
want, all of ' you. within. hearing to ' use 'your
influence • to get: comimutation for all those
sentenced:. to hang."
Strange. how,:- ,compassionate we be-
come—and 'Well that we do' At the time
.a. vicious ' crime.. is committed how prone
we are to in effect "hanging. is to good
for him." Yet, 'when the : penalty, of the
law is exacted, it • seems like. ' a revolting,
barbairism.

ences the . abolition 'of capital punishment,
he:. shall not have died in. vain.'
