are appalling when presented in cold
figures. The statistics cover a period
Of sixteen years. from 1885, to 1890 in

period there were 2.516 lynchings in
forty states. The only states that have
not had a case of 1ynching since 1885,
are Delaware, Massachusetts. New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah. The
lowest number of lynchings in any one
year since 1885 was 107 in 1899, and the
highest was 2s6 in1S92 The year 1901
