BREWER ON LYNCHING
URGES SWIFT JUSTICE
Jurist Takes Strong Ground
Against Mob Violence.

NEW YORK. Aug. lin an article
contributed to ''Leslie's Weekly" by As
sociate Justice David J. Brewer. of the
United States Supreme Court. he takes
strong ground against the spirit of
lynching. which, he says, is making rap
ia Roadway among a class of citizens
hitherto regarded as conservative and
lawabiding. He is especially impressed
by the fact that mob law is no longer
confined to the South, but has extended
it's baleful influence in communities to
which it has been a stranger.
Recognizing the provocation TO vio-
lence which often exists by reason of
attacks on women and the delays of the
law in meeting justice to criminals. the
eminent jurist urges speedy punishment
in such cases as the surest means of
banishing the lawless spirit of lynching.
