1. ““We believe the rule is well settled in Bow v. State, Okl.Cr., 273 P.2d 141 , wherein this court in the body of the opinion quoted from Kittrell v. State, [96] Okl.Cr. [301], 253 P.2d 853, 855 , wherein it was stated: ‘This court is cognizant of the seriousness of the offense which was committed by the defendant and that such criminal offenses are on the increase in Oklahoma and particularly in the areas of large population. The Legislature in its wisdom has provided that where a robbery is committed with firearms, the punishment in extreme cases could be the death penalty. * * * We feel that the imposition of these severe penalties will cause the robbers to shun Oklahoma but until they know that the punishment which will be meted out to them will be severe and certain, they will probably continue to terrorize our citizens.’ ””
