ACTING GOVERNOR JESTER
WIRED THE SHERIFF. AT
81 WICHITA FALLS
asking HIM ABOUT THAT HANGING
That They Knew Nothing About
The Hanging-Other State Cap
ital Items of Interest.

Acting Governor Jester yesterday sent
c. NJ. Moses, sheriff at Wichita Falls,
Texas, the following self-cxplanatory tel
egram:
News of the hanging by mob of the
murderers and robbers of the Wichita
bank has just been received. Knowing
that you were aided in their arrest by
the State rangers, / supposed you were
amply prepared to defend and protect the
prisoners. AS to your inability to con-
troll the mob, l am not informed. If you
were pOwerless to prevent it, it is your
only excuse for this violation of the law
in failing to discharge your duty. That
Crawford and Lewis were guilty of a
foul murder and should have been tried
according to law and found guilty of MUIR
der and hung, do not doubt; but those
who participated in taking the law in
their own hands committed an act that
is unjustifiable, indefensible and should
be condemned by all law-abiding citizens,
and casts a blot on the county and State.
The only justification and argument in
favor of mob law is that justice can not
be obtained before the COURTS which is
a reflection on the laws of our State or
the citizenship in not enforcing the laws.
| believe that the defect is more in the
latter than the former and that public
sentiment should be educated to a strict
enforcement of the laws, that our best
ciizens should be required and feel that
it is their patriotic duty to serve on iuries
and generally contribute their influence to
elevating and enforcing the laws.
knowing your responsibility as an Off
GER whose duty is to enforce the law. |
trust you will faithfully discharge it,
