Acting Governor of California Say*
Capital Punishment Is for Poor
and Not for Rich.
LONG BEACH, Cal., November 1.—
"Capital punishment is for the poor
and not for the rich," declared Act
ing Governor A. J. Wallace today,
addressing the Southern California
Episcopal conference. He added
that he was opposed to capital pun
ishment, even if it were right in
principle, because it worked out. un
evenly, and said he expected to re
prieve several prisoners next week
although not as many as he wished
to reprieve. The reprieve of George
Figuero, a wi.fe murderer, 011 the eve
of his execution and the commutation
of his sentence to life imprisonment
by the acting governor recently oc
ca&ioned much discussion. Mr. Wal
lace sought to explain liis action to
the conference.
