rTrauslated for the Enterprise from tlieGer

There are two parties in the beat ef
criminal jurisprudence. One desires con
siderable reform, the other clings with iron
tenacity to old practices. The highest in
terest is now manifested in the controver
sies for or against abolition of capital pun
ishment.. Both sides are lighting with the
tame weapons ; they take their grounds
alike from criminal politic, criminal phil
osophy religion and ethics. Through my
long time of service, I gathered experience
from still another source. This source
springs in prison. Here you can gather
proof which defy contradiction.
I hare had under my charge many
criminals, who often the verdict of the
courts, were to suffer death, and also, such
whose lives fell victims to the execution
ers axe.
I have taken pains to study the effects of
punishment to the moment ’of execution.
1 have read in the souls of these convicts,
and went down to the very depths of their
hearts, and have discovered feelings which
were firmly held by scorn and shame. In
each individual case my convictions were
in strictest contradiction to the laws. The
laws regard capital punishment the sever
est, because it is only inflicted for the
gravest crimes.
But still more sensitive, and therefore a
great deal harder for the perpetrator of
heavy crimes, is life. We can only com
prehend this, if we have daily opportuni
ty, to go into a cell which encloses such a
convict. I often desired that this may be
permitted. It would have the tendency
in a larger degree to keep others ft but
committing crime, than the punishment
inflicted upon such who have offended the
law.
Especially lively in my memory is a
case, which might prove of general inter
est.
It was nearly 9 o'clock in the evening,
when the police court of a distant village,
sent me a prisoner. He was handcuffed
because he tried to run away. In the war
rant “ murder” was named as the ground
of his arrest.
The fact that he tried to escape the
fearful crime of which he was accused,
made double watchfulness my duty. I had
him chained to the strongest cell,put chains
to his left foot and had everlhiug removed
which could possibly aid him in another
attempt to escape.
The' prisoner did not create any espec
ial interest. He was of short and stout
statue, barely five feet high. His uupro
portionally lage head sat upon a short but
strong neck. His beardless face looked
dull, and only when I caught a glance of
his large eyes, which like lightning
flashed through the room, I could perceive
that the man thought, felt, and also, that
he feared. 4 The prisoner spoke only of hi*
innocence.
The first night in prison, is fearful for
every prisoner. Even gray headed crimi
nals, when after they have served their
time of punishment, are brought back for
renewed offence, cau’t pass the first night
without terror.
An old thief gave me once a very striking
explanation of this fact. If I” he said
“ have again to return to this cage, torn
away from • all human beings, and night
comes and nothing around me moves, tlieu
1 feel as if a devil was in every corner
ready any moment to jump on me, get
hold of my throat and choke mo to death.”
Although pretty rough, this explanation
depicts the true state of feelings of the in
ner man, who by punishable trangressions
deserved to be shut out from society.
My prisoner must have feared and felt
in like manner. Next morning when 1
stepped into his cell, 1 found him sitting
on the bench. He did not seem to have
slept at all or had risen very early in the
morning. His upperbody was bent spoon
like, his head resting in his hands
and bis feet being too short to reach the
floor, trembled constantly. Although lie
seemed to have noticed me, he would not
change his position. When I asked him
how he slept, he raised his head slowly.
His eye looked dull and tired, his face ter
ribly pale and every muscle lifeless. The
first night played pretty hard witli him.
‘•How I slept!” he replied whispering
‘•1 could not close my eyes.” “And why
not ?” I asked feelingly. No answer. This
silence convinced me, that I did not have
a hardhearted sinner before me and that
it would not be difficult to receive a con
fession of bis guilt. I sat down ou the
bench clese to the prisoner, taking hold
ef his ice-cold hands.
“Shall I tell you, why you could not
close your eyes.” I said this slowly and
softly, holding his hands and with rubbing
trying to waim them. “1 will tsll you,” I
continued. “When you shut your eye, you
saw blood and not alone that, you also saw
the wounds which you inflicted and alas !
still more terrible things you saw”—"shall
1 tell you that also ?” The prisoner kept
quiet, but his breath got shorter and his
body trembling.
“The most terrible you saw was the
death struggle of your victim.” I bent
down to the prisoner and whispered the
last words in his ear. He quietly let me
do this, not moving in the least, and con
tinued his dull brooding. I now felt com
pelled to have an answer, and dared not
cease speaking of the first night in prison,
if he should be cured and find rest “But,”
aid E “you did not only see, you heard
also. The ear is a great deal more sensi
tive than the eye. What you hear, you
will never forget, it will make deep and
everlasting impression upon your memsry.
Even if you should cease seeing, in your
ears will new and continually resound the
words you heard last night, which with
fearful power, shook your very innermost.”
The prisoner tore his bauds loose from
mine with rapid movement, lie laid down
flat ou his ears and broke out saying, "Yes,
yes, you are right, that what we hear will
never be forgotten, and even it I close my
ears tightly, 1 bear anyhow.”
The consequence of this conversation
was a flee confession. • The prisoner did
not only confess, but also felt .the weight
of his guilt, and repented deeply. I do not
intend to relate the deed in its particulars,
hut only the impulse to the same as it
characterizes I lie criminal
The prisoner was a young industrious
and in iiis brunch of business very skillful
workman. In school, in and outside tiie
house, his conduct was faultless, and in
sociable intercourse, lie was veiy agreea
ble, and his company sought for. lie at
tended church regularly, and by reading
good books, enriched his knowledge, lie
was twenty-one years old when a hot de
sire of independence took hold of him.
The same was awakened because he could
not, as he thought, get a deserved appreci
ation of his merits, that his constant striv
ing for developing and perfecting his line
of business was not countenanced, and
that as lie said, he had to work on in the
same old fogy manner. The necessity then
of working this way made him first un
pleasant, then contrary and at last intoler
able. For a long time lie was trying to
find a way out, blit without success.
Finally, in a slsepless night, a though
struffk his mind. This thought, fearful as
it was, took root and drove him with light
ning rapidity to decisions, and alter a abort
deliberation of the best means to the exo
cution of his hastily designed plans.
Everybody will agree ttiat the prisoner,
notwithstanding the crying crime lie com
mitted, is worthy of our sympathy, and
that bis social and religious education,
capacitated him to judge of his deed and
its necessary consequences. The prisoner
was found guilty of murder and sentenced
to death. He expected this, and by the
announcement of tlie verdict, was neither
surprised nor scared.
The following morning, he made a care
ful toilet, which surprised mo so much the
more, as I had to speak to him constantly,
to keep Ills body and clothes clean. Still
more astounded was I, when he got up
from his bench and approaching me with
folded hands looking seriously but not
unfriendly into my face.
“What is the matter?” I asked him
kindly.
“I am ready” lie replied quickly and
firmly “I have done with life, let us go
“Whereto ? “You ask me that!” “I have
but one way to go and that is to the gal
lows.” “With that you have time yet if
you ever should go there at all. “How do
you mean?” "Am I not sentenced and
have I not declared that I am satisfied
with the verdict ?” “That is correct but
the sentence has t® be legalized first, it
will be ten days before—”— "aud even if
I do declare that I ant satisfied witli the
verdict ?” “Yes even then” “Now
not before ten days” he said interrupting
me disappointedly.
“No not even then after tiie expira
ration of ten days, they will send tiie sen
tence of the court for confirmation. “What
is that for ?” asked the murderer seem
ingly scared. “Every sentence requires
the continuation of the king, for that pur
pose the Grand Jury report to the court
of appeals. This tribunal examines the
acts aud with a special report sends it to
the minister of Justice.
Here follows another examination, and
another report to llis Majesty the King,
whose decision is returned through the
same channel. -‘And how long have I to
wait for it?” I could not tell exactly, it
does not go very quick, eight or ten mouths
may expire, aud we sometimes waited also
a year aud longer. “That is horrible, cried
the murderer” with all signs of deep emo
tion, “to be so long in suspense, aud to
be during all that time iu the l'ear of death,
that is suffering worse than death itself
That is a continued torture of the mind.
“Mr. Inspector;” he cried aloud, his voice
trembling from excitement, “I don’t want
to live. The most painful death is easier
to me than life. I can’t make my deed un
done, if I could I would, if I had to perish
in the attempt. Hut because I can't do it
I will die, and who will hinder me from it?”
The King can do that, he has the light
to pardon you. “I don’t desire pardon ; I
would call for, were 1 sentenced to im
prisonment .” Talking kindly to the
prisoner, 1 succeeded in quieting him, and
persuading him to submit to liis late. Days,
weeks and mouths expired. Not a sylla
ble passed the lips of the unfortunate man
iu reference to the execution of his sen
tence. He would speak only when asked,
auswering very short. When I went in
his cell in the morning he always directed
his eyes upon me. lie would not say a
word. But I knew that this glance would
give him certainty of his future; that he
wanted’ to read in my face, if the longed
for decision had arrived. When I did not
say anything which occurred regularly,
his lids would drop slowly over his eyes,
his head lient over, aud quietly he would
resume his interrupted work. Every duy
his gloomness increased, which soon af
fected also his death. He lost his appetite,
and, by and by, was reduced to a mere
skeleton, but nevertheless, no sound of
complaint would ever pass bis lips.
I had accustomed myself to the quiet
sufferings ef the prisoner, and therefore
waa not a little surprised, when he ap
proached me one morning, saying with
deep emotion : •• 1 can’t stand this any
longer, it must come to an end. The
Grand Jury have sentenced me to death
why not execute this sentence ? Should
the sentence be of no avail, then the trial
before the Jury was a mockery, and if it
is not, why so many reports ? A nd granted
these are necessary, why not hurry up?
What is the reason you deter the decision
so long ? Every day I live, increases my
Bufferings. In day time they are passable,
but during the night it is terrible and aw
ful. Being compelled to hear and sec the

anything to prevent it.
“ Ye* I could prevent it, l could put an
end to it. But I don’t wuut it, 1 dout wish
to add to the old, anew and probably
greater sin. And where, for should Ido
it? Have I not a right to ask them to
give me what I could give myself? death!
Death will ho a relief, life is misery to me
The moment I cease to live, all miseries
will ceaso also.—Beyond the stars I hope
for mercy, as I have suffered euough and
been punished still severe To-day it is
exactly ten months when I was sentenced”
" How do you know that so precisely.” I
asked, interrupting him and endeavoring
to change the subject of conversation.
“Don't you believe it? Just look here,
this is my calendar. As many marks as
you percieve hero so many nights travel,
after my sentence, suffered fear of death,
