The state has been hearing a great deal about capital punishment and the first execution in North Carolina since 1961 was to take place Friday. Many times in our lives we are aware of events which are said to have come "full circle." Today capital pun ishment may well be coming full;circle. More than 10 years ago the United States Supreme Court ruled capital punishment unconstitu tional. Today the high court denies to hear any appeals from the death row inmates who think they have been given cruel and unusual punishment. The full-circle of the Supreme Court brings about the cance for states to have a greater part in de termining the punishment in cases of convicted mur derers. Each state's choice to implement the death peanlty or life imprisonment sen tences may vary, but at the least the choice is back at the local level where citizens have an opportunity to have some input. Last week a publication in a state newspaper told of the last execution in North Carolina. The execution took place in October of 1961. And, local folks might re member Theodore Boykin before his death in the North Carolina gas chamber in 1961. Boykin was arrested on Christmas Day and charged with raping and killing a woman in her farmhouse near Kenansville. He carried a conviction record of lar cenies and beating another woman at the time of his arrest December 25, 1960. Last Friday James W. Hutchins was to be executed after being convicted of mur dering two law enforcement officers in 1970. Many at tempts were made by Hutchin's lawyers to stay his execution or convert the death penalty to life in prison, and a last minute stay was issued. But, caught in the cycle of a full circle, when the nation no longer views capital punishment as cruel and unusual punishment for persons convicted of denying other individuals a right to life, Hutchins may still be executed. Growing up. I had the opportunity to know many older individuals who talked of limes when they were young. Among the accounts were tales of public hangings at the Duplin courthouse in Baltic. It seems the rope gallows hung from a tree at the courthouse as a constant reminder of the penalty for taking the life of another human. Hangings were public events and advertised much like other court pro ceedings. Years passed, punishments changed, and Duplin's county seat and courthouse moved to Kenansville. Since the time of public hangings many different types of sentences have been imposed. And, scenes of public whippings and people receiving punishment from devides like the kicking machine were not uncom mon. Later came the "Chain gang." A common sight not many years ago was the convicts working on road maintenance and construc tion where they earned the name of chain gang. The laws of the land have changed dramatically and now we seem to be back where we began, death for convicted killers. Good or bad, capital punishment is back and hopefully it will deter some future killings.
