Why Hodges was Lynched. Who
is to RlamA for it 2

Assuming that Hodges deserved the fate
he met (since nobody d.nis, it,) we have
still ugly reflections left us on the subject.
As violation Of law, lynching aemoralizes
public sense Of justice, and its hideousness
shocks the sensibilities. leaving US, in addi-
ton, precedent which bad men may abuse,
and reputation tainted by spot which
strangers will not trouble themselves to
sipe off. Could not justice have been melted
to Hodges without entailing upon us these
evil results? Evidently the lynchcrs and
their sympathizers (no small number)
thought not. They believed that if brought
to trial in the usual way he would escape
punishment. and determined that the out
law should die, they took the law into their
own hands Evidently then Hodges was
lynchsd because the administration Of justice
by our courts can uJt be relied on. But
how is this Are there no laws for the pun
ishment of horse thieves and murderers !;
and if efficient laws, have We not enough
lawyers and judges to see them enforced ?
10 what pass have we come that in order
to secure the punishment of a notorious out
law, the citizens mast rise en- naasse, break
jails, and execute! If this be true, who is to
blame for it except those who having been
elected for the purpose have failed to guard
our lives and property with strong laws. or
those officers whose duty is to enforce those
laws. 1t is said that an able lawyer, back
ed by willing witnesses can clear any body
and that juries are sometimes wheedlcd
or bullied, or cheated, or cried, into giving
verdict not sustained by law and testimo-
ny. If lawyers can SO far sacrifice their
patriotism and personal integrity as to seek
to gain an unjust verdict, does it not become
the judge to interfere and see that the jury
are not imposed upon by their fair but false
representatives.? Who is to blame if our
courts do not give US justice for all Those
who made and those tho enforce the laws.
We need less laeo and more justice, fewer
lawyers and sterner judges, and a little more
common sense in the Legislature and Court
House
