Abstract
- The article presents a letter to the governor of Arkansas. It focuses on the death sentence given to six men. In the case of six of those condemned men he has sanctioned the sentence of death and he has appointed the day of their execution. An article of Magna Charta, the historical foundation of rights and liberties, declares "No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or dispossessed or outlawed or banished or in any way destroyed except by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.
