ing of the negro Andrews at Princes
Ann, Somerset county, last Wednesda,
week, at the very threshold of the Coul
, House door is very much to be re
GREETED and will be condemned by a
thinking and rejecting citizens. Tn
felOnious assault was committed o.
Mrs. BENZ. L. Kelley. The lynchin.
will be more severly criticised and uni
versally codemned because the organ
ic law of the State had been Literally ful
filed. He had been given a speed
trial, prompt conviction followed an,
sentence of death had been passed b
the Court in accordance with the sti
tue. There was no delay in any of til
!. legal proceeding up to conviction; nc
was there any reason to fear delay, Z
failure in the execution OF the sentenc
pronounced by the court. Had thei
been reasonable grounds for escape frol
= the gallows there would have bee
some excuse for lynching.
