Hangmrn.
Austin, Tex, Sept 15,-In reply TO Il
telegram sent to him from New York
with reference TO the proposed visit OF
the party of Englishmen to the South
for the purpose OF investigating the
mob law, Governor Hogg has wired
the following:
Texas has no sympathy nor excuse
for lynchers or murderers of any class
and Is fast supprcssing them. Within
the last eighteen months only one
white man and two negroes have been
mobbed. Eleven OF their lynchers have
been apprchended and Indicted. Some
OF them are In jail and others have ed
the country. Rewards by the state are
over the heads OF all lynchcrs for their
arrest and conviction. During the two
years OF 1892 and 1893, thIrty.four
murdercrs were convicted aud SEN
fenced to death and ninety-four were
put in the penitentiary for life. These
included many old Offenders. This
year the war goes on with renewed
vigor.
'W nhes and blacks are equal before
the law and given fair trials. Assas-
sins, lynchers and rnpists receive no
sympathy from the better classes and
alike dread the courts. t. negroes
and whites nre prospecting under the
wholesome laws, faithfully executed
without the prospect of fear Of race
war or the increase OF iawlessness.
