WHAT NOTED PEOPLE
SAY ABOUT LYNCHTN,

District Attorney Jerome, of New
Nork: 81 can hardly think of nothing
to say in palliation of the horror the
deed done by presumably intelligent citi-
zcns Of Delaware in connection with the
brutal burning Of the negro George
White. He seems to have been guilty on
his own confession, of crime punishable
by death under Delaware law, and would
have been punished in the long run.
But under the conditions there seems to
be nothing to Justify the act of the mob.
The case, however. seems to emphasize a
feature of criminal law. and that is the
evil that accompishes the delay in bring
ing offenders to a speedy trial.

Colonel Il. f. AlcBee of Nashville. Of
fetal of the Seaboard Air Line: 1t is. of
course, deplorable, and yet it seems i'm
possible to avoid taking radical measures
in case like this. When a negro at
tacks a white woman there is only one
way TO deal with him. The law would
take months. There are chances. and.
that in the end, through some technical
ity, the guilty man would escape

Archbishop Farley, of New York "The
mob law that prevailed at Wilmington is
blot on our Christian civilization. re-
grct it and sympathize with the parents
of the child who was so inhumanly muir
dered Certainly the act was enough to
demand speedy Justice, but not that of
the mob.
I'VE must not permit this act to go
unpunished, any more than we would not
have permitted the murderer to escape
the penalty of the law.
The justice is the same on both sides.
The moment we permit any class to
overlook the supremacy of the law of the
country, that moment we are taking a
downward course. The mob will then
prevail.
'Much of the moral indignation was
probably made still more bitter by the
fact that the attack was committed by
negro. But how many a white man here
in New York has been guilty of just such
a crime!"
