THE LYNCHlNG OF TAYLOR.

Whatever sensational reports may get
abroad M to tho lynching Of the negro
TAYLOR hero Friday night, tho plain
fact remains that II over recourse to
mob law was iustihablc or excusablc
that case presented the cXtenuating cir
cumstances.
\ delicate and refined lady, alone, her
husband in Europe, was set upon by

assault. Upon his capture she idonti-
fed him positively, and no himself oven

he came to accomplishing his purpose.
In the first hunt for him even the col
ored mon assisted, and NJ enthusiasts I.
cally and Indignantly rs did tho whites.
The crime and the criminal were both
denounced by men of all parties aud
colors. II was a case in which all qucs-
tions of race were forgotten.
TWAS necessary to make an example.
just ut the tine Of this mans assault
tho city was paralyzod by the nightly
occurrence of dastardly attempts at rape
and robbery. Tho town had to he
patroled. No woman went to her couch
without fear Of being chloroformed and
ravished, and tho citizens determined to
put II stop Ia such condition of affairs.
hut nothing was done In haste. They
waited until the right man was found,
and then with deadly determination
and vengeance swift aud sure they
strung tho victim up like a mad-dog,
and made the example.
We do not know who wero the parties
engaged in this lynching, but we will
boldly venture the assertion that they
were among the best citizens and of all
races aud parties In Dallas. These are
the mon who by cautious methods and
only In extreme eases, render mob law
