Public Meeting,

the citizens Of Indian Creek held at Mum
sontown, in the county of La Sale, and
State OF Illinois, on the 18th Of April,
1874, pursuant 10 previous notice, for the
purpose Of taking into consideration The
case OF the notorious James Nj. Phillips,
and expressing our views and feelings on
this subject,
On motion the Rev. WESLEY BATcHEL-
LER was called to the chair, and SAMUEL
WILEY elected secretary.
After due consideration the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Re,olred-That we mos. deeply regret
the necessity which has called us together
to express our Indignation at the release
of James M. Phillips from justice, after a
jury of his county had found him guilty
of manslaugh,er and fixed his punishment,
a! three years confinement in the peni-
,entiary-four of the jury believing that
he ought TO be hung.
ResoiUed--That we deeply regret the
want of law for the punishment of man
slaughter, or if law exists for the punish
ment of this crime-lhai we wofuly
lament the administration of the law by
our court in the case of James NJ. Phil.
lips.
ResolUed.-That James M. Phillips
has kept our neghborhood in confusion
and trouble for seven years, that we be-
lleve that he is guilty of the willul mur-
der of Lowell Morse ; he has often ihrea-
tened the lives of other individuals in this
community. and we have no hope of peace
or safety while he remains among us :
therefore, we will hold no friendly inter-
course with him but will Indignantly
irown upon him whenever we meet him.
ResO!Ued--That we are decidedly op.
posed 10 Lynch Law or mob violence, but
believe if there can be a case in which il
is jusitiabe it is in The case of James NJ .
Phillips.
Resoived-That Mr.. A. d. Garter is
entitled 10 the thanks of every lover Of
good order and society, for having com.
piled with the wishes and requests of
many OF our citizens in assisting the
states attorney in the selection of Jurors
and the examination Of Witnesses IN the
case of James NJ. Phillips, for the MUIR
der Of Lowell Morse on the 2Sth day of
January, 1913, and that ID. l.. Gregg and
5. =. Shope, Esqs., are entitled to the
thanks and respects of all persons for the
faithful s~Sices rendered by them in said
trial.
ResolUed-That committee of five be
selected by this meeting Immediately to
confer with the governor of this state rel
alive 10 the case of James NJ. Phillips for
the murder of Lowell Morse.
Whereupon Amos Foster. John IL.
Henderson, Alonzo ID. Garter, Nathan
Youngman, M. ID. and John Hubbard
weH elected said committee.
Resoived-That the Ottawa Free Ira
der, the Juliet and Chicago papers be re-
qucsted TO publish the proceedings of this
