been witnessed in Iowa Howard, the muir
derer of one johnson, whose crime was one
of mark~l atrocity, was lately sentenced to
imprisonment for life. Last week mob Of
one hundred and fifty masked men, regard
ing the murderer's punishment as altogether
too light, assaicd the Jail in which he was
confined, overpowcred the iailer, and taking
the culprit from his cell, hanged him to a
convenient lamp post The "vigilants," as
they are termed, disappeared as suddenly as
they came, and there isno clue to the identity
of any of them. 1heprocecding was of course
utterly laNless and ndefensihle, but there is
some excuse for the popular indignation in
that state, in Wow of the increase in the
number of sanguinay crimes since hanging
has been abolished.
