PORT JERvIs, N. Y, June 1.-The ex-
element in this village over the lynch
ing of the negro, Robert Lewis, still con-
tinues at fever heat, and further de-
velopments are awaited with intense
interest.
Public attention Just now IL centred
upon the coroner's jury, whose duty it
will be to Investigate the circumstances
surrounding the lynching, and, If pos
sible, to trace out the ringleaders of
the lynchers.
Opinion in regard to the act of the
mob has completely changed At first
citizens, upon learning Of the lynching,
gave to it al unqualified approval, and
the whispers which came from the vari-
Gus groups Of persons who gathered TO
discuss the matter we're to the effect that
Lewis had met a just and merited fate.
But a decided reaction in public
opinion is observable, and 1t Is now felt
that the honor of the village Is deeply
concerned in bringing the leaders Of the
deed to Justice. Much depends upon the
%coroner's jury for an accomplishment Of
this object,
