A Ministers Words,
Says the Delays of the Law
Caused the Lynching.

Wilmington, Del, June %
Rev. Robert a. Elwood. pastor
of the Olivct Presbyterian church,
preached Il sensational sermon on
the probable lynching of White
last Sunday evening. lie took
his text from Cor. V, 13: "There-
fore, put away from among our.
selves that wicked person"
After referring to the delay in
bringing White to trial, Mr.. Ell
wood said:
"Should the murderer of Miss
Bishop be lynched: Yes, but
only under one condition, and
that is this-if his trial shall he
delayed until September and then,
though he be proven guilty,
through some technicality Of the
law or any undue Influence upon
either judges or jury he he given
not capital punishment, then the
citizens of the State should arise
in their might and execute the
criminal and thus uphold the ma.
jesty of the Iaw.'
Mr.. Elwood said today: I''
am sorry it happened as 1t did. |
believe the man should have had
a legal trial, but | also believe
that he should have had II speedy
trial. The lesson we can learn
from last nights Ou' break Is that
the people are tired of the delays
of the law. Certain terrible
crimes require stern and speedy
punishment, and when the ma,
chincry Of the law is not set in
motion the people, impatient OF
the delay, move themselves. "

1t ran up Il flight of steps and

which Vas occupied by the dress

-Four young ladies were seated
around a table IN the room. rhev
heard the animal coming and mans
aged to get out of the way. The
horse continued its wild race on
entering the room ana on its career
overturned and smashed Il sewing
machine, Il plate glass show ca, g
and Il table, then dashed through
the millinery department and on
towards the front of the store. 1t
ran behind the counter in the drv
goods departement and had pro.
ceeded more than two Thirds of
the entire store, when it ran
against an open drawer. The horse
was going at terrific pace, as is
shown 10y the fact that the force
of the collision with the drawer
threw the animal a complete some>
sault, landing it on his back behind
the counter with It's feet paving in
the air.
The horse was gotten out from
behind the counter and showed no
sign of having been injured. 1t
had apparently recovered from its
fright when led out of the build
ing. Fully 500 worth of damage
was done in the interior of the
