In ghoosing imprisonment instead of death, the court is moved chiefly by the age of the defendants, boys of 18 and’19 years. “It is not for the court to say that he will not in any case enforce capital punishment but he belleves it is within his province to decline persons who are not of full age. “This determination appears to be in accordance with the progress of criminal law all over the world and to the dictates of enlightened hu- manity., More than that, it seems to be in accordance with the preced- ents in this state. “The records of Illinois show only two cases of minors who were put to death by legal process, to which number the court does not feel in clined to make an addition. Judge Caverly added that life imprisonment ‘may not strike the public tmagination ag forcibly as would hanging,” yet, “to the of- fenders, particularly of the type they are the prolonged suffering of years of confinement may well be the severer form of retribution and expiation.” He pointed out that under the state law it is within the dicretion of the department of public welfare never to admit these defendants to Parole and that “if this course is persevered in, the punishment will satisfy the ends of justice and safe- guard the interests of society.
