HOODS PILLS become the ravori,e cathart

Crawford avalanche., 1892-09-22

NEW ENGLAND is gaining rather
uncnviable notorlety in criminal af-
fairs. During the last few years she
has had a large number Of highly
sensational murders, while minor
cases, where human life was taken,
are very large. The murder OF Hiram
Sawtelle by his brother, Isaac, was a
most atrocious crime and gave food
to the public mind until 1t was over
shadowed by the assassination of Miss
Christie Warden by the all-around
scoundrel, Frank Almy. The crime
for which DR.. Graves. of Providence,
r. l., awaits the extreme penalty OF
the law, has hardly precedent. He
killed his victim in the Rocky Noun
tains while himself in Boston. Then
came the attempted killing of Rus.
sell Sage in New York, by Norcross,
New England man, and now the
entire East is astounded by the
butchery of Andrew ]. Borden and
his wife in Fall River, Mass.
Crawford avalanche., 1892-09-22

THAT Kentucky mob which took
Logan Murphy, 17-year-old parri-
eide, and hung him because Of his
atrocious crimes, introduced unique
feature into their lynching proceed
ure. 1t would have been scarcely
possible to give him the benefit of
clergy, for gentlemen OF the cloth are
averse to participating in such af-
fairs, but those who officiated at
young Murphy's demise were mot en-
tirely lost to the solemn suggestions
Of the occasion. He was given OPP
portunity to pray, but frankly con-
fessed an inability to avail himself of
the favor. In this emergency a man
In the mob knelt down to ask mercy
upon the soul that they were about
to launch into eternity. In terse,
strong language he told what a griev-
Gus sinner Murphy had been and how
the law Of the land had failed to pun
ish him. He had killed two persons,
one his own father, and third one
of his Victims lay at deaths door.
He had been horse thief and a gen.
orally wicked boy, unfit to live and
certainly unfit to die. The petition
er evidently had regard for the old
Mosaic law of an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth. The boy had mur-
dered two of his fellow-men and the
fitting punishment was death. The
laws delay had aggravated the COM
munity until men who would pray
and listen to prayer at his lynching
hung young Logan until he was dead.
They had just cause to protest and
condemn the slowness of the law, but
they can find no justification for the
extremes to which they were led.
The men who hung Murphy can orly
be classified as murderers. They
acted without sanction of law and
can find no apology in morals. The
stringent enforcement oi the law
against lynchers is one Of the crying
demands OF the day.
