LL.EN WHITE, Kansas AMERICAN LEAGUE To ABOLISH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (Incorporated Under the Laws of the State of New Yod) 112 EAST 19TH STREET NEW YORK OBJECT: to abolish capital punishment in every state in the Union, in the District of Columbia, and in the American Territories and Dependencies. May 4, 1931. Dear Friend: Recently a girl of twenty-two was ex- ecuted by the State of Pennsylvania. Her brief history is typical of that of many of the boys-- and occasionally girls--put to death in this country. Of bad heredity and environment; illit- erate; a wage earner at fourteen; married at fifteen; a deserted mother at sixteen; a criminal at seventeen! The inequality of capital punishment is constantly illustrated by the endless procession of the physically, mentally and economically unfit who pass through the Death House of our Commonwealths year after year. Will you not help with the renewed work we are undertaking to end the death penalty in all states? Will you not help us call the attention of organiza- tions and law-makers to the stupidity and wasteful- ness of continuing to erect gallows at the end of the road instead of guide-posts at the beginning? Will help will work We are sending you a brief summary of a recent case. Hoping to hear from you, Cordially yours, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY. you not, in short, join our organization and with our work? Any contribution made by you help to further our educational and research in the Legislatures.
