LYNCH law is always to be deprecated, even
though the course of justice be sometimes turn
ed aside by or through corrupt methods, but
there are mitigating circumstances in the case
of the citizens of New Orleans who recently
lynched twelve members of the "Mafa." an
outlawed society organized for plunder and
murder. These men had been acquitted by the
intimidation and bribery of the jury, in the
face of evidence of the most positive and con-
vincing kind of the guilt of a number of them of
having been in a conspiracy which resulted in
the cold blooded murder of the chief of police
of that city. The mob which lynched these
prisoners was composed of the leading citizens
of New Orleans, many of whom carried in their
pockets the death warnings issued by the
''Mafa.'' and who deemed it question of lite
or death. whether they or the "Mafa'' should be
exterminated. Before condemning the action
of these threatened citizens who have for
months been compelled to take every precau-
tion to prevent their own assassination it is
well to read the opinions of those great COM
mercial bodies, the Board of Trade. the Sugar
Exchange and the Stock Exchange, of New
Orleans. as expressed in the following pream-
BILE and resolution unanimously adopted by
them all on the afternoon of the day the lynch
ing took place:
"Whereas the deplorable administration of
criminal justice in this city, and the frighttul
extent to which the bribery of juries has been
carried. has rendered it necessary for the citi-
zens of New Orleans to vindcate outraged
justice.
''Be it resolved. That, while we depiere at all
times the resort to violence. we consider the ac-
ton taken by the citizens this morning to be
proper and justifable.''
