CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Sir, —Assuming that the statistics mentioned by "Dutchman" in Tuesday's Herald are correct, although no proof is given, he would certainly be a bold man who _ expected reasoning people to be convinced that the diflerence in the criminal records of two countries was due to the fact that one did not hang its murderers.
