THE RECENT LYNCHING.

Resolutions COndemning the Crime at
Lebanon, KY, and Funds Raised to Ferret
Out the Criminals.
LEBANON, KY, Dec. 3l-Nearly 1000
people assembled at the courthouse
yesterday afternoon to take action on
the burning of Mrs. Hattie West and
the killing of w. A. Dever by five
men Saturday night. Resolutions con-
demuing the crime were adopted. A
fund was raised to employ detective0
to aid in ferreting out the criminals.
The people, the county and the gov
ernor have offered rewards for the ap-
prehension of the men.
Alma, the 14-year-old daughter of
Dever, will perhaps be able to identify
the murderers. They threatened to
kill her, too, if she did not cease beg
ging for her fathers life. The girl has
told detailed story of the affair, and,
while each of the men was a stranger
to her, she is confident that she can
identify them. The sentiment is so
strongly against the action of the mob
that there is little doubt of the ulti-
mate arrest and conviction of the men.
