The CHESTERFIELD LYING HING.

The killing of Cassie Beane las,
week in Chesterfield county Is al
most incredible in its sickenin9
details. When the negro deSper-
ado, Sam Hose, was burned at the
stake in Georgia a few months
ago it caused thrill of horror
throughout the country. This
victim of a mob'S fury in his ira &c
death expiated anumber Of crimes
of fienliSh atroci.y, and vet some
sympathy was felt for his torture.
The case of Cassie Boone was
quite different. A young woman
stabbed to death and hey body
burnt while in the death agony,
is new phase of lynch law, AND
one that causes a shudder to come
over everyone opposed 10 arelapse
rnto savage barbarism.
Then, as a hideous climax,
comes the suppo sitioa that the
woman's husband was tlie chief
lnstigator of the henious crime.
IF such a deed goes unaV7nged
there is no telling to- what it will
lead. Lynch law is bad enough
at best, bu; when de!enceiess wo-
men become victims Of mems mur-
derous hatred, the time has come
when radical steps, should be
taken to punish to the fullest ex-
tent the guilty perpetrators.
