DIR. LAMsoN's confession has left no
room to doubt his guilt, but how far dis
eased mind may be held to mitigate that
guilt depends on how far he was respon-
sible for his mental disorder. These and
other questions are beyond the capacity
of finite wisdom.

GREENsBURe, the county seat of Deca-
tur County, Ind, is town that will COM
pare favorably with almost any other in
that State or in any part of the. United
States. 1t has numerous churches, ex-
cellent schools, and is the centre of a
highly cultivated community. Yet this
town was disgraced on the morning of
the oath instant by the cool, deliberate
lynching Of man who had been tried
and acquitted on the charge of completely
in a murder, and had been locked up in
Jail on minor charge. The wretch was
taken from the Jail and hanged to tree
in the courthouse yard by gang COM
posed of about twenty-five of his neigh
bors. There would seem to be a loud
call for some energetic action on the
part of the authorities of that county.
Every member of that gang of lynchers
was guilty of the crime for which their
victim had been tried by jury of his
peers and found "not guilty" The State
that has the largest school fund of any
State in the Union and stands near the
head of tho line in the matter of
churches ought not to quietly submit to
this sort of outrage.
