preme court reversed this opinion and
tho case was called again IN court ut

Iho testimony proving the lynch!ng
was overwhelming, though one of the
county's lawyers, i'll spite OF the fact.
that Browns body was riddled with
bullets and his hands and feet tied,
CANNED that the negro had committed

tncned verdict in favor OF the county
Notice has been given OF . motion to
sot aside tho verdict on the ground that
