A Young Physician in cannon Falls
Called Out at Night and Lynched
by His Wife,s Friends.
cannon Falls Echo, 22d. l


Sunday night last a body of brutal
fellows succeeded in overpowering DR..
Richmond of this village, after calling
him up to see patient, as they stated,
and tarred and teathered him. 1t &C.
CURED at about ! o'clock. and they
must have gagged him to prevent him
giving an alarm as a gentleman sleep
ing in the next room knew nothing of
the affair. After the accomplishment
Of their purpose, they dashed him to a
board and carried him across the river
where they left him to get free as best
he could.
Various rumors are afoat as to the
reason he was thus treated, but we can
not find any proof of their truth ex-
cept that short time ago he married a
young lady living near here and about
two weeks since refused to live with her.
OF course we have no way of know
ing who the guilty parties are, but we
have not heard that any persons who
reside in this village are even suspected
Of the crime.
We do not approve Of this kind OF
law in any form. If Doctor Richmond
had committed any misdemeanor that
could give offence to any person or
persons they could have obtained
redress through the courts. and,
even admitting that, sometimes, the
guilty 60 free, it is no excuse for such
conduct as this. ''Two wrongs does not
make right We much regret the
occurrence of such acts in our town,
as they only bring disgrace upon us
without benefitting any one. We have
stated all the facts that we can find
and hope that all parties will circulate
such reports only as they know them
to be true.

1t will thus be perceived that, as
Stunning a categorical denial Of all the
alleged offenses on the part Of Mr..
Beecher, the evidence against him rests
on the evidence of Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton.
The credibility of the confession OF
the latter must, however, be greatly
qualified by her withdrawal Of the &C
cusations therein implied-in fact, in a
legal sense, Mrs. Tilton's contradictory
statements render her almost worthless
as a witness. The evidence, then, seems
to be narrowed down to the statements
Of Mr.. Tilton, fortified as they are by
the expressions Of deep contrition and
almost agonizing suspense con.
tanned in the letters addressed by Mr.
