ALBANY, March 13—The Whipping Post bill was defeated in the Assembly this afternoon by a vote of 67 to 3. The Dill passed the Senate some days ago.

The bill has been condemned by most af the newspapers in the United States as @ measure designed ta, restore practises of barbarism. Commodore Gerry did not appear to listen to the arguments for and against his bill, He was put out of that body last week for lobbying in favor of it.

Before he began to speak, how- ever, Assemblyman Kern introduced an amedment substituting the compulsion of Impotency at the hands of a physician in place of flugging. Mr. Robbins opposed the bill and made ‘one of the most forcible speeches heard thie session. He denounced the use of the knout and other forms of corporal punishment to suppress crimes. i Floggt he raid, has never prevented crime, and he pointed to the history of England and of Delaware, to prove It. Crime has been ncreasing in Dela- ware, where the whippini tablished institution, hi ent Is seven i which means that a child of that age @an consent to her own ruin. ‘The Gerry bill, he said, presumed .that the odious practices it deigned to punish of common occurrence, and thi 'y man and woman knot gusting crimes, Assemblyman Stanchfield favored the bill, It was demanded by a society, he sald, which has accomplished a great deal of good in protecting women and children, The Whipping-post for the degraded | ractices mentioned in the Gerry bill! as not been proven a@ failure, as Mr. ‘obbing said.

Mr. Ainsworth said the bill had been indorsed by many of the leading social reform bodies and a large percentage Of the Intelligent people of the country. ‘Assemblyman Horton made, a very g00d speech against the bill. ‘The only Rood ‘feature of the bill, he sald, that provision for the punishment of wife heaters, had been taken out. ‘As it stands now, the bill, he tho: i yar a vielous, barbarte and uncalled: for measur abolished the use of the id, and now the Intellige { New "York were to take it up. mblyman Brush opposed the bili it did not go far enough. ‘Asse ‘also. oppored the bill. been man Hennessy ie sald deception ha practised vy the advocates of the bill.
