Evans, J.

¶1(specially concurring). — I concur in the result and in the discussion, except as to one remark therein, viz.: “The punishment is made to fit the offender rather than the crime.” I am willing to say that such punishment is made to fit the offender as well as the crime, but I am unwilling to agree to the statement as made in the opinion at this point. In all other respects I concur.
