SEE ALSO 52755 House No. 8 Reprint: On January 14, 1835, a three man committee was to consider repealing the death penalty. On February 25,
1835, the committee sent a report: It recommended abolishing the death penalty and then discussed the pros and cons from p. 5-19. Pages 21-22: An Act
to abolish the death penalty, 1835. The death penalty in all cases was abolished. The guilty person would be in solitary confinement for a year and
then at hard labor for the rest of his life. The convicted person would be treated as if he had died--he lost any property he held, was legally
divorced from his wife, and had no power or authority over anything or anyone. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Library of
Congress).
