talk. Before the start of the House session, members of the Legislative Liaison Committee had agreed that passage of the death penalty bill was the major item standing in the way of adjournment of the 1977 session. Both the House and Senate met today and then, if all goes as planned, will adjourn until Thursday of next week, with final adjournment set for Friday, June 10. In their final hour of debate, the blacks repeated their arguments that the electric chair will be used mainly against blacks and poor whites, and that the death penalty does not serve to deter murder. Pointing to the electronic voting board, Rep.

I. S. Leevy Johnson, D-Richland, chairman of the Black Caucus, told the House: "When you pull that switch today on your desks, it is just like pulling the switch to turn on the juice in the electric chair." The only proponent speaking for the bill just prior to passage was Rep. Sterling Anderson, D-Spartanburg. He said the House majority had listened "with tolerance" to six days of arguments in which opponents constantly referred to condemned criminals as "the victims." "I submit to you we never talked about the real victims," said Anderson, referring to innocent persons who are slain.

The legislation permits imposition of the, death penalty only for murder, and then only under seven specified sets of circumstances. A jury would first determine if a defendant is guilty of murder. It would then, in what amounts to a separate trial, consider a list of both aggravating and mitigating circumstances before deciding whether the sentence should be death or life imprisonment.
