Claud C. Smith, representative from
Campbell county, will Introduce a bill
Into the next legislature empowering
all Judges of the state courta to sue-
pend sentences, pending the good bs-i
havlor of the convicted.
The bill will allow tho Judges to name
the conditions on which the sotvence Is
suspended, and it will be optional with,
lb will'll,er Ilf will accept
the conditions or serve the sentence. A
bond may be required. If the Judge so
stipulates.
"Some Judges in the slate practice
tills now,- said Mr. Smith Friday morn
ing, "but, strictly speaking. It Is not
legal. A sheriff may arrest any man
out on a suspended sentence In Ihe
state at any time and send him to the
penitentiary.
'3 wish to make It l.gal, and I want
ths Judges to take advantage of It. So
ciety will forgive n crime, but never
Imprisonment.
"A young man cmvicted for the first
time of a misdemeanor and unable to
pay the fine, Is branded for life If he la
sent to the penitentiary. Suspend the
sentence and the brand Is not there,
from the viewpoint of society, the nec
essary commingling with hardened
criminals Is avoided, anil besides there
Is always the spur of this overhanging
sentence to cause good behavior.
"Suppose two young men. one
wealthy, the other poor, were arretted
for the first time and ,10 th- -ame of
fense. There Is the option of the fine
and the Imprisonment. One pays and
goes undisturbed on hit way; the other
enn not pay. and he Is sent to the peni
tentiary, branded for life.
"This Is hardly Justice. Wouldn't the
suspended sentence more nearly equal
ise the punishment T*
Mr. Smith Is now working on hi. bill,
which he .ays he will endeavor to hla
utmost to get through the legislature.
