SOUTHERN STANDARD.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
negro, Green Wells, was taken from
the Columbia Jail and hanged by
mob in broad open daylight, the
coroner's jury rendered a verdict that
lie came to his death at the hands OF
unknown men, and the grand jury
failed to find any indictments. There
is no doubt that the negro richly de-
served death, and, there is further
more no doubt that death would have
been his punishment at the hands or
the law. While he deserved death,
he was also entitled to the laws pro-
lection until the law could have ac+
complished his execution. There are
cases in which we bel eve the people
are perfectly justifiable in putting an
end to criminals la Judge Lynch
