Expression of Condemnation Upon
The Verdict of the Lexing-

Case.
To the Editor of The State:


The curtain having been ruug !
down upon the three Weeks farce
enacted at Lexington, and the
murderer being once more free
man, the question naturally arises
will this be the end of lawlessness
in South Carolina, or has not it's
reign just begun9 Lexington is
not the only county in the State
where justice miscarrles. Lex
ington county jurors, Tlllman
lawyers and witnesses-are scatter
ed all over the State. Human
life is too cheap. A white man
can shoot with impunity his fell
bowman and never be punished
for it. This is no secret, but is
we'll known by everybody. But
why does such a condition of af-
fairs prevail in a civilized State.
have been a practicing lawyer
for % years and have given this
matter some thought. The law,
in my judgment, is all right-so
is the jury system. The trouble
is a weak, maudlln, public senti-
ment, which does not hold to
strict accountability the man who
sheds human blood, and the wit
Desscs and jurors who purJure
themselves to clear him. No
white man has been hung IN this
county since the Civil War, and
this, in all probability, is true of
nearly every county IN the State.
The law is not respected not
even by the officers charged with
its execution. A practice prevails
of compromising criminal cases
with the approval of magistrates
and solicitors. This is an out
rage and should not be tolerated.
The man slayer instead of being
looked down upon is too often
made lion of. If, perchance,
he is not able to give bond (Which
is not often the case) he is visited
at the Jail and made much of
This condition of affairs will con-
tinue for some time. 1t may be
years before reaction will set in
and it will never set in until
the law-abiding, peace and Justice
loving people of the State speak
out, as DR.. McPheeters has done,
in no uncertains tones. Let the
press and pulpit direct attention
to the great evil of bloodshed and
men in public and private life by
articles in the papers, in public
speeches, in their offices 'and in
the streets, and wherever they
may be, commence a crusade
against this great crime in South
Carolina.
