THE LAW ABOUT LYNCHING.
Judge Aldrich's Notable Decision Re-
versed.
News and Courier.


News and Courier.
The supreme court has rendered an
important decision in the matter of
damages in case of lynching.
In January, 1897, Lawrence Brown
was arrested on the charge of burning
gin house. He was dismissed by the
magistrate, and, on the night of his re-
lease, he was lynched. Action was
broug bit against the county of Orange
burg for damages under the constitu-
tional provisions. Under instructions
of Judge James F. Aldrich the jury
rendered a verdict in favor of the
county chiefly on the ground that
Brown was not prisoner at the time
of his being lynched, and that he was
not taken from the hands of the law
TO be lynched. The lynching occurred
on January 8, 1897, near Stilton.
Judge Aldrich, in his opinion before
the circuit court, took the position that
the constitution applied to cases where
prisoners were taken from the custody
of officers of the court or law, and the
case was not submitted to the jury on
the evidence adduced.
Justice Gary renders the opinion of
the supreme court, all the judges coD-
curing. The body of the opinion is
made up of copies of the constitu-
tional provision, the acts and matter
leading up to the expression of the
court, which is as follows:
"The intention of the constitution
was to prevent the crime of lynching
in two ways: First, by visiting upon
the officers of the law the penalties
therein mentioned, when prisoner,
lawfully in their custody, was lynched
by mob, through their negligence,
permission or connivence, and second,
to induce the cooperation of the tax
payers in preventing the lynching in
order that their county might not be-
come liable to the penalty by way of
exemplary damages of not less than
$4,000 to the legal representatives OF
the person lynched.
"The lynching of prisoner, and of
one not in the custody Of the law as
such, is murder in both cases. 1t
would, therefore, at least seem strange
if the trainers of the constitution were
careful to provide in the organic law of
the state remedy for preventing the
lynchiug of prisoner and remained
silent as to the remedy in all other
cases of lynching. The constitutional
provision, however, is not confined to
the lynching of prisoners. The words:
"Without regard to the conduct of Of
ficers," when considered in connection
with the evil which the constitution
intended to remedy, must be construed
to mean without reference to what has
been said in regard to the conduct of
the officers, or in other words, without
reference to other provisions of the
section. They were inserted for the
