John Temple Graves Of Georgia, the

been htly answered In the assembly at

Brooklyn, who said. among other
things; "Lynchers are plain. brutal,
savage murderers. and should bo
treated as such by the authorities and
by all worthy 10 bear the name OF

and stalwart talk directly from tho
shoulder, There must be no mlncing OF
matters with law breakers. and those
persons who presume to take the law
In their own hands must be made TO
understand that murder Is no less MUIR
der when 1t Is committed by gang Of
men than when It is q crime Of the in

are much at fault for the prevalence Of
lynChlng IN the Uplted states there
can be no question, but nothing can
excuse the awful affairs that have so
many times In the past few years
shocked the senslbiites Of the world
