| Mr.. S. G. ROBERTSON, of this city, wrote
as follows to the Chicago Times on the SUBJ
/ ject of capital punishment in the south: 'Y on
are mistaken about no respectable white
man ever beng hung in the south for murder.
| ! admit it is a rare occurrence for one of this
class to be hung, but 1t is sometimes done.
| Brinkley, for instance, who was hung in At
lanta for numbering his wife year or so ago.
He had line connections, some of whom live
in this city, and spent much money to save
| his neck. There are other cases that could
| be mentioned. Carrying concealed weapons
with which to murder their fellows is fast be-
coming matter of serious objection by the
better class of people in the south The bet
! ter class deprecate the defects in the law to
| punish crime of this nature"
