J. Edward Cutler. a postgraduate
student Of Yale, has made a scientific
study of lynchings, and here are some
of his figures The number of persons
lynched in the United States the last p
years up to January 1, 1903, is 1928
There are 105 unaccounted for in the
race table which says that the number
of negroes lynched during the period
named was 1872, and the number Of
whites .256. OF the total number lynch
ed 81 were women. 80 cosoreu and g
white The most lynchings occurred in
the years 1884 and 1892, the large num-
ger in 1884 being due to the work Of the
Vigilants in Colorado and Montana for
depredations on property. In 1892 the
lynehings We're chiefly in the south.
Only about IS per cent of the negroes
lynched in the south We're killed for as

G2s lynchings were in the west. about
4s per cent for murder Since 1892 there
has been a steady decrease in the num-
Der of lynchings. Figures on the num-
Eer of persons put to death in the name
