IS THIS FUNIBHMKNT. rTrauslated for the Enterprise from tlieGer -1 man “ tiartenlaube.”] 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.

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, aud many thousand times have 1 prayed CONCLUDED ON FOURTH I'ACIK. rREMITTM XjIST —-OF TIIE — BiM Cos.
