Walls Publisher McPherson tiii 1P it PublishedbyQunndiun Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario HMiisoh General Manager Managing Editor MONDAY AUGUST 15 196i PAGBLL Commutation secrecy Should Be Reconsidezred The federal cabinet has commuted the death sentence of Vancouver man who shot the manager of trust company branch The 25yearold slayer lsnow to serfre life sentence The action is of interest in that it is the first capital murder case to come before the govern ment since Parliament voted 143 to 112 to retain the death penalty According to practice the minister of the cabinet gave no precise reason for their decision in announcing it In com ment The Ottawa Journal has made the valid suggestion that this practice of see my on commutations should be recon sidered No one The Journal points out late insist that the cabinet order the execu tion of everyone convicted of murder The practice for many years has been to commute the sentences of those recom mended for mercy by the jury in the April debate it was noted that the Con servative Government of 1057433 com muted the death sentence on 24 occa sions when theraihad been no recom mendations for mercy and the present Liberal administration on six occasions it Mr Pearson and ministers of like mind continue to grant commutationsin every casethey will invite the serious charge that they defy the will of Parlia men In this most recent commutation the ministers may have been influenced by the recommendation for mercy ven one juror andby certain cat ev dence on the prisoners mental state sent to theDepartment of Justice These may have been excellent reasons for commut ation and in fairness the Cabinetvshould not be prevented from stating publicly exactly why it decided the law should not take its course says The Journal The cases of fourteen other convicted murderers have to be considered by Cab inet There will be legitimate protest in the House if further commutations are granted with no morethan brief Cab nct announcement DOWN MEMORY LANE 70 YEARS AGO iN DISTRICT Barrio Northern Advance August 13 1896 George Stone late of litcaford high school appointed Classics Master at Bar rie
