the reported capture Of Will Myers in
Bosworth, Missouri, volunteered the state
ment that ne wouldn't be brought back
through Cobb county for fear he would be
lynched. The Constitution does the peo-
pie OF Cobb county great injustice We
are u law>abiding people up here and
Myers could pass through any portion of
Cobb county, in the custody OF officers
without the least interference. In tact
Myers would have been safer in the MARI
eta Jail than the Atlanta Jail. He was
permitted to escape from that Jail, hut here
he would have been guarded with Jealous
vigilance to prevent his escape. We trust
the Constitution, if it ever has cause to
allude TO Myers passing through Cobb
county again, will assure the public that
Myers will be perfectly safe from lynch
law.
