﻿Death penalty seems rather a heavy punishment to lay on a man for sleeping in a box car, Such is the punishment however, the end slightly defered.  
Here it might be argued the punishment is not a death penalty insofar as it lops off only the closing years of the slumberers life and might be classed as accelerated despatch to a haven of rest. Be that as it may, here is how it is accomplished: 
The cars are doped with an illsmelling fluid; with but few exceptions. We wont go into the nature of the stuff, sufficient to say it makes the homeless one ill. We wont go into the motives, which are many and all pointing in one direction; sufficient to say the evidence is in those cars, a dark shade, stain, which exudes fumes for six months, possibly years, without recharging. Freight moved in those cars become as contaminated and the noble businessman and housholder hasten to make their wills––noble martyrs to the cause of brainlessness! But it would seem like a heavy penalty to lay against lunkheaded member of society who maintain orthodox beds and sleep on ostermoors. If a crime of poverty is committed why make the well-to-do suffer? 
This sabotage is not being done by outsiders against the railroads. It’s against sleepers. There is no authorization for this or any senselessness. It is assumed power. Anyway, the sleepers in such will outlast those paupers that sleep on charity’s hot pillow; they are making the very best deal they can for self containment. 
Delegated powers go squeegee.
