CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION Dissenting Opinion of Associate Justice Shepard. ee DIFFERS WITH COLLEAGUES ge The dissenting opinion of Associaté Jus- tice Shepard of the Court of Appeals, in the cases of Murderers Strather, Smith and Winston, was yesterday handed down by him in the court and placed on record. ‘The opinion of the majority of the court was rendered on the 7th instant, and the murderers were reprieved by the President on the 15th instant in order that the United States Supreme Court, by means of a writ of certiorari, may determine the important question upon which the Court of Appeals of the District is divided. Mr. Justice Shepard has been~ slow in formulating his opinion in order to perfect its details, and it has been awaited with the keenest interest by the bench and bar of every federal jurisdiction. It has been regarded as fortunate by the members of the bar generally that the question was brought before the highest tribunal m the land within so short a period after the enactment by Congress of the statute involved and particularly as tiis is but the second instance of a verdict by a jury under that act. The first case { the people agt.

NEW REVEN Bureau of Engraving and Printing Working Night and Day. The Difficulty Will Be in Getting the Stamps Distributed by July 1. The bureau of engraving and printing now has thre? shifts of men and ev available press at work on the internal rev- enue war stamps. Secretary Gage has given ord not a minute is to be lost, nd Chief Johnson fs straining every point to get out the necessary stamps so that they may be distributed before July 1. Mr. Johnson today delivered to the treasury between 700,000 and 800,000 stamps, turned out since yesterday afternoon, when ur- gent orders were given to get to work. From now until July miilions of internal revenue stamps for all purposes provided by Congress will be turned out. Rushing the Printing. Yesterday Secretary Gage sent to Con- gress a recommendation that the time for beginning the operations of the stamp tax be extended from July 1 to July 15, as it would be practically impossible to get. the stamps printed and put fn circvlation by July 1. It was feared that business inter- €sts would suffer and business be seriously necked by failure to get the stamps on ee on finance notified t it would net be well ‘This caused renewed ze th activity. Despite the fact that every minute of tha will be utilized in the printing of tha . of which there are twelve distinct es, containing twenty colors, the: is serious doubt whether the bureau of «1 raving and printing will be able to supply the demand after July 1. Distributing the Stamps. ‘The most serious question with the Treas- ury Department, however, is that ef get- ting the stamps distributed by the time the law goes into effect. As fast as possi- ble the stamps will be sent to collectors of f.ternal revenue, who will send them to stamp dep for sale.

Representative Gardner of New Jersey has introduced a bill authorizing the Presi- dent to appoint a board of five insurance commissioners, at a salary of $4,000 a year, to adopt rules and regulations for a mili- tary and naval life and accident insurance for military and mar\ne forces of the gov- ernment, providing the amount to be paid them on loss of life or injury in service, ete., which amount shall be in lieu of all claims for pensions from the men or their representatives. These regulations are to be reported to Congress as early as possi- ble, and $0,000 is appropriated for the work of the board. the circumstan of the crime charged were of a cha ter to justify them in re- turning a verdict for the mitigated punish- ment or such as was returned by them.” Justice Shepard's Opinion. Mr. Justice Shepard's opinion is in full as follows: “I am unable to concur with my brotners in their construction of the act of Congress which provides that when an accused per- son shall be found guilty of murder the jury may qualify their verdict by adding ‘without capital punishment.’ In my opinion, the language of the act is plain and affords no room for construc- tion—no appeal from its letter to its spirit. Public policy In respect of the punish- ment of offenses is a matter within the ex- clusive control of Congress and departures therein, whether to be regarded as wise or unwise, must be given effect to as declared. “To my mind, it appears plain that while Congress did not abolish capital punish- ment for the crime of murder, it neverthe- less committed the matter of its infliction to the uncontrolled discretion of the jury in each case. The Jury Alone to Decide. “Tf it had been intended that the exercise of this power of commutation of the death penalty should depend upon the court or upon the jury, subject to the advice and admonition of the court, I think it would have been expressly so declared. Whether in the exercise of an unlimited discretion juries may or may not make distinctions between criminals, not justified by the con- ditions of their respective cases, or, in prac. tice, virtually abolish the death penalty, is wholly beside the question. In the exercise of its own undoubted discretion in the premises, Congress hag seen proper to com- mit the power to the jury, and to the jury alone. “In construing the statute to mean that the court may, without error, admonish the jury in respect of the grounds upon which they may commute the death penalty by the addition to their verdict, it is not denied that he is compelled also to instruct them that it is their privilege to exercise the power notwithstanding. “With such instructions as were given in this case, no jury, composed of good citi- zens, accustomed, as it is their duty, to ac- cept and apply the law as given them in ‘ge by the court, could have extended mency to any one of these appellants. ‘After such an admonition, to such a jury. the further information that they might, nevertheless, commute the punish- ment was but a meaningless formality. “It did not give the accused the benefit of the statute. The Purpose of Congress. “I cannot accept as sound the argument that the purpose of Congress in this en- actment was substantially the same as shown in the legislation of the states, whereby the offense of murder has been divided into two degrees—murder of the first and murder of the second degree. “On the contrary, it seems to me that there is a substantial difference of pur- pose. Under the state statutes referred to, murder of the first degree consists of homicide committed in the perpetration of offenses like rape, robbery, arson and bur- glary, or by poison, starvation, torture and so forth, showing express malice. All mur- der not included in the definition of thé first is murder in the second degree. “In the enforcement of those statutes the courts are required to declare the law to the jury in application to the facts. Where the evidence shows plainly that. the ac- cused, if guilty at all, is guiity of murder of the first degree and nothing less, it Is the duty of the court to withhold from the jury the privilege of returning a verdict of guilty of murder of the second degree. The court fs not required to submit the ques- tion of the degree of guilt to the jury, re- gardiess of the evidence, as under the act of Congress it is compelled to extend to them the privilege of commuting the death penalty. “If the purposes of the two sets of stat- utes are the same, it would be more rea- sonable to hold that, under the act of Con- gress, the right to commute the death penalty should not be accorded to the jury at all unless the evidence should discover something tending to warrant the exercise of clemency. “For the reasons given, I am of the opin- ion that the judgment in each case should be reversed.” ee ‘Town of Casilda Bombarded. MADRID, June 22, 1 a.m.—An official dis- patch from Havara say: “An American vessel bombarded the town of Casilda, province of Santa Clara (about five miles south of Trinidad, with which it is connected by rail), for three hours, She fired 150 big shells.

At a meeting of representatives of the na- tional banks, trust companies and private banks of the city yesterday afternoon, the report of the committee, Chas. J. Bell, chairman, appointed at a former meeting, was adopted.- This committee had under consideration the provisions of the war revenue bill requiring the affixing of a 2- cent stamp to all bank checks, notes and drafts. An agreement was reached to the effect that all national banks, trust com- panies and bankers would in every case re- quire the makers of checks to pay for and affix and cancel the stamps before presenting checks for payment. Bs It was further provided that the agree- ment be made binding on and after August 1, it being understood that up to that date the bankers will endeavor to carry out the intent of the agreement. It was realized that many people would not understand the law, which goes into effect the 1st of July next, and for this reason it was de- cided to defer a formal carrying into effect of the cperation of the agreement until one month after the law becomes operative. It is understood that most of the bank- ing institutions of the city will issue circu- lars to their customers, explaining the law, and that they will employ a special clerk within their banking houses for the pur- pose of suppiying customers with the stamps. The Penalties Prescribed. The sections of the law providing a pen- alty in case of violation are as follows: Sec. 7. That if any person or persons shall make, sign or issue, or cause to be made, signed or issued, any instrument, document, or paper of any kind or descrip- tion whatsoever, without the same being duly stamped for denoting the tax hereby imposed thereon, or without having there- upon an adhesive stamp to denote said tax, such person or persons shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic- tion thereof shall pay a fine of not more than $100, at the discretion of the court, and such instrument, document, or paper, as aforesaid, shall not be competent evi- dence in any court. Sec. 10. That if any person or p2rsons shall make, sign or issue, or cause to be made, signed or issued, or shall accept or pay, or cause to be accepted or paid, with design to evade the payment of any stamp tax, any bill of exchang2, draft or order note for the payment of 3 any of the taxes imposed by this act, without the same being duly stamped, or having thereupon an adhesive stamp for denoting the tax herby charg- ed thereon, he, she or they shall be deem- ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con- vietion eof shall be punished by a fine r ), at the discretion of the believed by some of the lead- of this city, with whom a Star tod that the effect of law will be to reduce the deposits in various institutions. It is, howaver, ght that one result of this feature of war revenue bill will be to reduce number of checks, especially with the nail depositors, who, it is pre- be apt to draw out money in check of a large amount and pay one small bills with the cash rather than to write a number of small checks, as is now done. Mr. John A. dents of the Swope, one of the vice presi- V ington Loan and Trust Company, who was in the banking busi- ness when the former law requiring stamps on bank checks was in operation, said today that that law did not reduce deposits in banking institutions, but it did Jessen the number of checks. Tax on Stock Sales. The war bill also requires that in every sale of stock accompanizd by a memor- andum there shall be affixed to such me- morandum a two-cent stamp for every $100 or fraction thereof of the face value. When such certificate is transferred an- oth2r two-cent stamp is to be affixed for every $100 of value. A few days ago the Washington stock exchange referred the matter to the governing committee for the purpose of having {it consider what action should b2 taken in compliance with the law. A meeting of the committee was held y erday and it was decided to post- pone action pending the examination of the questions invoived by the New York stock 2xchange, as it was thought the rul- ing of that body wouid be followed gener- ally throughout the country. —_--____ WAR CLAIMS. Damage Alleged to Have Been Done During the War. In the House in committee of the whole yesterday Mr. Mahon secured considera- tion of a bill to send to the Court of Claims alleged claims for property of citizens taken or destroyed by the confederate troops in their several invasions into the berder counties of York, Adams, Cumber- land, Franklin, Fulton, Bedford, Somer- set and Perry, Pennsylvania. The object of the bill, it was pointed out, was merely to secure a decision from the courts, an appeal to the Supreme Court being pro- vided for, upon the questions of validity of the claims and iiability of the govern- ment therefor. The bill precipitated a lengthy debate, Many members, notably Messrs. Moody of Massachusetts, Terry of;Arkansas, Cannon of Illincis and Brown of Ohio, opposing, and Mr. Mahon and Mr. Richardson of Tennessee favoring it. Mr. Richardson supported it on the ground that every per- son believeing he has a claim against the government should be given the privilege of having its validity determined, and Mr. Mahon, in addition to the foregoing, sup- ported the bill incidentally on the ground that the people in the counties named should be recompensed quickly for losses incident to confederate invasions. The home guards had been called in to protect the capital of the general government, thereby leaving Pennsylvania exposed to invasion, against which the government had covenanted in the Constitution to pro- tect the states in return for their militia. The opponents of the bill candidly de- clared their opposition upon the ground that the bill suggested a proposition so monstrous as to deserve no consideration. “There is no legal elaim, there is n equitable claim, there is no just claim,” declaimed Mr. Cannon, and, proceeding in line with Mr. Moody, he declared the recognition of the principle advocated by Mr. Mahon would lead to the filing and payment of claims from Maryland, Ken- tucky, Ohio, Missouri and all other loyal states into which the confederate forces entered. Fending disposition of the measure, the committee rose, and at 4:43 p.m. the House adjourhed. a es SPANISH PAPER URGES PEACE, El Diario de Barcelona Points Out Hopelessness of War.
