Each year seems to be distinctive
or a particular cause in JudgeLyneh's
curt. In 1885 the feeling against
horse stealing was especially
'eyere, the number Of executions for
that crime being IS. In 1856 the
Tigilantes were unusually active,
Iynching :.
In 1887 "yoodoOism" was first re-
as an ofense grave enough to
sudden death without recourse
10 the law. In 1855 the horse thieves
again given no mercy, 10 Of them
the extreme penalty; s we're
Iynched In the same year for arson.
In 1859 il was the outlaws and des-
peradoes who suffered, 1907 them being
up by the mohs. In 1890 race
prejudice claimed 5 victims and politi-
cal pFejudices ;. The most sensational
feature Of 1891 was the summary exc
Of II Italians in New Orleans
for the alleged conspiracy TO murder.
In 1892 the crime OF horse stealing
cost 20 more men their lives. In 1898.
the whitecaps began operations, lynch
lng one man. One s'sooner" was
lynched the same year; 1894 was a year
Of lynchings for petty oifenses, colored
men paying the extreme penaly for
asking a white woman to marry,
writing letters to white women, in
PRODUCING small pox. swindling and
conluring. In 1895 a white woman
lynched, also a man for being dis
reputable. A counterfeiter was
strung up in 1896; also a man for slap
ping a child.
The "whitecapsii claimed 4 victims
in 1897, and in 1898 violation Of a con-
tract cost one man his life. In 1899
5 men were hanged without a trial be-
cause they had bad regulations. In
1900 race prejudice was again to the
