already been made to the Washington

The Citizens Of the State Should Arise in Their

Uphold the Majesty Of

(By the Associated Press)

Wilmington, Del, June 23.-Rev. Robt
A. Elwood, pastor Of the Olivet Presby
terian Church, preached a sensational SER
mon on the probable lynching of White
last Sunday evening. He took his text
from Corinthians ". 13: Therefore, put
away from among ourselves that wicked
person."
After referring to the delay in bringing
White to trial, Mr.. Elwood said
Should the murderer of Miss Bishor
be lynched? Yes, but only under one con-
dition, and that is this: IF his trial shall
be delayed until September and then
though he be proven guilty, through some
technicalty of the law or any rule undue
influence upon either judges or jury he be
not given capital punishment, tnen the
citizens of the State should arise in their
might and execute the criminal and thus
uphol dthe majesty Of the law
Mr. Elwood said today:
Il am very sorry 1t happened as it did
/ believed the man should have had a Ie-
gal trial: but also believe that he should
have had a speedy trial The lesson we
can learn from last nights outbreak is
that the people are tired of the delays
OF the law. Certain terrible crimes re-
qulre stern and speedy punishment, and
when the machinery of the law is not set
IN motion the people, impatient Of the
delay move themselves

he had been imported for the purpose Of

HOW NOW, DELAWARE
Public Sentiment Generally
Approves the Lynching.
viii the Authorities Taxa kc.ion Lot king TO.
ward the Arrest and Punishm4 Mt of
the [ adars?
(By the Associated Press. ]

Wilmington, Del, June 23.-The natural
and interesting question today il whether
the authorities will take action looking
toward the arrest and punishment Of those
who were prominent in the lynching of
George White early this morning That
many of them are known cannot be doubt
ed for they were seen by the thousands
who witnessed the affair. 1t is also known
that the arrangements for the lynching
We're talked of IN advance, and that
men were invited to participate and given
notice of when and where to assemble 1t
was this fact that gave publicity to the
lynching for the news that it was to
occur last night was circulated around
Wilmington yesterday with the result
that thousands who went out last night
did so with the knowledge that the af-
fair would come off according to arrange
ments.
1t is fact that public sentiment so gen
orally approves the lynching that it would
be hard to secure the conviction Of q
lyneher even if arrests are made. which
seems doubtful
During the day thousands of persons
went to the scene of the lynching, many
of them intent upon securing ghastly
relics. In this, however, they met with
little success, as the burning had been so
effectual as to destroy almost every yes
tige of the victims body. The only re-
mains were pieces of his bones
In order to reach the scene many of
these people walked the three miles from
Wilmington in drizzling rain, and those
who rode on the trolley cars had to walk
a mile before they reached the spot
But nothing could abate their ardor, and
all day there was constant stream of
people travelling along the road
Judge Grubb, of Tue county court, today
made a public statement in which he de-
plores the lynching of White and its conse-
quent reflection upon the good name of
Delaware Judge Grubb also explained the
action of the court in refusing to call a
special session of the grand jury for the
indictment of Miss Bishops murderer. He
says the trial would have been attended
by such public clamor and prejudice that
a fair trial would have been impossible
and the court would have been compelled
to grant the motion of the prisoners
counsel for a change of venue Once the
prisoner was moved to the insecure Jail
of Kent county or Sussex county he might
have escaped.
At the county work-house today every
thing was quiet. Warden Meserve with
his guards was on duty and had hundreds
of callers to whom they refused admit
tance. The large double doors at the
main entrance have been carried away
entirely and not a vestige remains.
Nearly all the clerymen in the city
held meeting today and passed resolu-
tions saying:
I'VE put on record our sense of sorrow,
and shame at the lawlessness
and anarchistic demonstration that has
brought reproach upon our common
and insisting upon the sanctity
OF the law and the necessity for confiding
in the integrity of our courts of justice
