Graham Flays Prison Terms for Murderers
District Attorney Mortimer Graham argues for capital punishment to curb costs from murderers who avoid the electric chair. He cites examples from Erie County, notes the high daily board at Munsty Reformatory, and predicts efforts to lower that rate. He highlights killers like Burd, Hulgerson, and Ivie as burdens due to juries’ leniency. The piece references Roman dances and a Detroit News critique on Rome’s history and dancing.
