others of the leading law schools of
the country. His work on Code Prac-

two volumes of over 1000 pages each,
is the manual in practically every law
office in the state. His Annotated Con-

mended by teachers of constitutional
law as invaluable both to students and
lawyers, and is highly commended by
the American Law Register, the old
est law magazine in the United States.
General Bryant wrote several law
books for use in his classes, more
for their utility than to advance his
reputation; but several of them have
been adopted in other law schools.
In 1896 he wrote a history of the su-
preme court of Wisconsin for the
Green Bag, law magazine published
in Boston.

lawless Avengers of Crime the
Most Dangerous Criminals.

Chautauqua, n. Y, Aug. 15.-The
discussion of mob law and lynchings
was continued here yesterday by
Chief Justice Lore Of the Delaware
supreme court. His subject was The
Relation of Law to the Manifestation
of the Mob Spirit. He spoke in part
as follows:
1--WE are simply and purely a gov
eminent of law. Take away the law
and society dissolves into it's original
elements, each man following his own
arbitrary will, so far as other more
dominant will or brute force, permits.
With us therefore, government means
obedience to law Lawlessness means
anarchy. Mob law is anarchy pure
and simple. Anarchy is the rock upon
which all ancient republics have ulti-
mately been wrecked, and is today

Sofia, Aug. 1.-THE Macedonian

distinctly hostile attitude of America
toward their cause, as manifested IN
the utterances of the press.
DR.. Christie Tartarchefr. one of the
presidents of the central international

the American newspapers had been
bought with Turkish gold. Concern
ing the present situation DR.. Tartar

cal Intervention by the powers can
stop the fighting of tie insurgents,
Failing in such intervention. the cam

He said the band now fighting in
Monastir numbered 5000 to 100000
men, that the number could be quad
rupied, were it not for the difficulty
of feeding such an army, and that the
Turkish troops are demoralized and
have repeatedly refused TO fire on the
insurgents. He says the Turkish sol
diers have assisted the insurgents to
secure arms and ammunition.

and protection to life, liberty and
property. than other governments in
the history of mankind. 1t strikes a
deadly blow at our cherished ideal and
governmental theory of mans capac
ity for selfgovernment.
Many well meaning people seem to
believe that the vengeance of the mob
is check upon crime, and that the
effect is wholesome. In the light of
experience, mob violence does not pre-
vent the repetition of the crime so
avenged. Such savage punishment
arouses the very spirit it is intended to
repress. In the lurid light of the burn
ing victim others of his class see him
as martyr. The spirit of vengeance
is aroused in them, with wild, fierce,
unrea oning madness they hasten to
repeat his crime in order to revenge
him. The work of the mob in such
case not only brands the state and the
nation with indelible disgrace, but tends
to multiply crime, and if the question
of color or race happens to be in.
volved, it provokes, race hatred and
race war.
THE effect, therefore, of mob rule
may be summarized in the words: Ii
brutalizes the individual man. 1t de-
stroys free government. 1t increases
crime.
Most emphatically, the remedy is
not in hasty and feverish action of
courts of justice against the criminal
| whose offence is the exciting cause.
Law has its highest function in
throwing its shield of protection be.
fore the ignorant, the weak and the
helpless, and was specially designed as
a barrier against temporary madness.
The more brutal the crime the more
degraded and ignorant the criminal
the more widespread and tense the
public rage, the more imperative it is
that courts of justice should secure q
calm, just and fair hearing and that
the guilt of the accused be established
otherwise innocent men may be pun
ished for crimes they did not commit
when the mob spirit rules, courts
of justice should be unyielding in
their stand for fair dealing, otherwise
they simply become the mob and ex
| ecutors of vengeance and not of jus
| tice. The judges of Delaware have no
apology to make for not listening to
suggestions of mob vengeance in the
case of George White. Permit me to
say in honor of our proud little state
| whose name has been Dlackened with
the CHASTITY lynching of White, that in
the past her judiciary has consisted OF
men of the highest attachments and
the purest character. There, uniform
| ly, the law has been administered with
fairness, and all the speed warranted
for safe judgment
| One cure for mob law unquestion
ably is the fearless defence of the &C
cuSed by his keeper. Nothing Is
needed but the resolute enforcement Of
4 the law. A sheriff, in defence of his
jail, who shoots harmlessly over the
heads Of the MOB, is poltroon. NJ
matter how vile, infamous or fiendisl
may be the wretch in his custody, hi
duty is none the less plain. He repre-
sents government and his surrender Il

Juror Sharpe, who had been

and the trial proceeded. The

and Mr.. Nelson for the defense
asked the Judge to instruct the
lusy not to regard the testimony
OF zimmerman, Smith, King
and DR.. Lancaster, who had seen
Iillman with pistol. He held
that when they saw him armed,
it was previous to the homicide
and had no connection with it.

retire and rendered his decision
that their evidence was compe.
tent. Ho said that it had been
testified to that Tillman had
;ssid in Edgefield that he was
igoing to settle it with Gonzales,
or words to that effect, and he
decided that evidence that Till.
man carried . pistol was in tho
line with showing that he had
carried out his intention.

sent our the jury while he made

have influence upon them.

extracts from several Northern
papers referring to Tiliman. The
reproduction of two editorials
from the New York Evening

Mr.. Bellinger objected to the
reading of that editorial. 1--WE

~ can tell what you mean,"
declared the witness with some
warmth.
Mr.. Croft interrupted aud said
the witness was entitled to have
an explanation, but as q matter
OF fact nothing more was done.
The next witness, A. J. Flow.
ers, former electric car con-
ductor, said N. G. Gonzales often
rode on his car. Gonzalss was
on . car in tho summer of 1902,
near Waverly, with three other
gentlemen, and he heard Con-
zsles say if he did not succeed in
preventing the election OF Till
man he would never be seated
for he would kill him.
On cross examination he said
he did not pay much attention
to the threat. He never said
anything about it until two
months ago when he wrote Till.
man about it. He denied telling
Mr.. Wallace, Of the Car line, that
he knew. nothing OF the case, but
did tell him he was not an eye
witness. He said he did not talk
freely to them, because he was
advised not to do it. The letter
which witness wrote Tillmsn
contained the alleged threat, but
added ttst Gonzales ended the
threat by applying az epithst.
He said he had been . member
OF Tillman's regiment.
P. w. Hughes was the next
witness. Ho was deputy sheriff
of Edge6eld when Jones killed
the Prsssleys. He met N. G.
Gonzalez then. He saw Mr..
Gonzales sgsic on Main street,
Columbia, in 1902. A man
named Stroud was with witness.
As they met Gonzales, the latter
nsked Stroud about the mill vote.
After that, witness spoke to Con
zales and asked him wasn't he do
ing Tillman great injustice.
Gonzales said: s'No, the black
leg gambler will get greater in
justice after the election, and it
ought to be lead."
On cross-examination, he said
he never:mentioned this until three
month ago. He admitted that he
had been prosecuted in the United
States court for selling liquor.
The court remarked that this tes-
timony was not relevant, and he
didn't think the records should be
burdened. The witness insisted
that he knew Gonzales and wasn't
mistaken in the man.
After a brief recess, court re-
sumed and Mr.. Nelson, arising,
said that he had been informed
by his friends on tho other side
that had misunderstood their re-
ference to politics and he wished
to apologize for what he said.
Angus Blalock, a clerk and
grocery man of Columbia, was
one of the Hughes crowd which
had met Gonzales. He corrobor-
ated Hughes testimony and, on
cross-examination, he said he
! never mentioned this fact to any
one except Colonel Croft and that
was only about ten days ago. He
was asked to mako an affidavit in
the change of venue case but he
made no mention of the converse
ton. Neither did he mention it
when approached to make an sf-
fidavlt in the bail case. He only
told Of it ten days ago.
