Ah, I suspect that Elwyn was gently pulling your leg about your inability to
spell "capital" (i.e. the death penalty) - "capitol" means "location of the
government" (and similar meanings, including the name of the building which
houses the US federal legislature, which is called "the Capitol") - and that
you've therefore missed the joke...
