OLD KENTUCKY HEARD FROM
Letter is Received From the Region of the
Recent Lynchings.

A letter was received by a citizen OF
this city from the scene of the recent
lynchings in Kentucky, which have Gre
ated such an amount Of attention recent
~. Ths letter is from a man who has
lived in that country for some two years,
having gone there from this city. In the
letter he briefly mentions the state of af-
fairs as nothing TO be surprised at. The
letter among other things on the subject
says that a spot in western Kentucky
within a raids of one hundred miles
there have been within the last month
more than a dozen lynchings. The let
ter goes on as follows: Though it may
seen. hard, must say that l cannot but
approve the action of the mobs which
have thus taken things into their own
hands" 1t also says:"Two negro boys
aged Is and II. respectively, slaShed
each other with knives on one of the
street corners today" Jan. 16)
A large amount of white Gaping has
also taken place. In two cases mention
ed in the letter innocent parties had been
killed by the white cappers, several OF
whom had been arrested, tried and SEN
fenced One of them was an old man
who. while being with the crowd, took
no part in its action, but the court SEN
fenced him TO two years in the state pen
itentiary for aiding and abetting in the
action of a mob. 1t seems from this that
the Hatfield-McCoy spirit spirit exists in
the veins of a great many citizens OF the
Blue Grass state.
