Tn my opinion, immediately, after | an outrage of a white woman by a black brute. is the most inauspicious time. to attempt to bring the lynchers to justice. The thrill of horror. which permeates every community upon the occurrence of such an outrage. has not caimed: the boiling passions have not cooled; righteous indignation still clouds the judgment of the people. The persons who compose mobs do not be- lseome fugitives from justice; there Is no danger of a mob lynching a mem Der of a former mob.
 No Gain in Haste. There Is nothing to be gained by haste. Evidence will be more easily obtainable. when indignation has cool ed. and sober judgment resumes its sway, and men begin to realize that no crime justifies anarchy There is no need to urge judges to call special term of court in order to have A speedy trial of any prisoner in custody for an offense liable. to cause a pub. lie outbreak. I do not believe there is q judge in Alabama who would not realize and fulfill his duty on such oc- casions. ,-SS
 The tersibiS ordeal. to a beloved and sensitive woman. of submitting to a public eross-examination concerning
 
 is one of the main incentives for peo- pie taking the law in their own hands. The laws delay. however, Is the chief cause of lynching.
 Tn my opinion, long held; there should be no appeals in criminal oases, except where the constitutionality of the law imposing the punishment Is involved. With all the safeguards thrown by the law around a person on trial, 1t Is almost inconceivable that an innocent man will be convict ed by a jury.
 The questions upon which the Su- preme Court reverses criminal cases have never any practical bearing on the guilt or innocence of the accused. A large number of instances will read fly recur to every lawyer. where crim- inals of deepest dye have finally gone unwhipt of Justice, because of repeat ed reversals, on theoretical technicali- ties. of the judgments of conviction in the lower court. With appeals in criminal cases abolished. and public confidence in the speedy trial by the lower court, of all heinous offenses, established, I believe the evil of lynch ing would rapidly pass away.
 "Very respectfully,
 'T. Scott Sayre, Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Cir-
 cult"
 Governor Cunningham yesterday re- ceived a number of answers to his cir cular letters to Circuit Judges rela- tive to the suppression of lynching. He said he had no information to give to the public on the subject.

EASTPORT FIREMENS DANCE
At Boucher's On The Spa Last
Night Was Great Success
In Every Way.

Over eight hundred tickets were sold
last night for the dance given by the
Eastport tiremen and it is estimated
that at least five hundred people were
ON the grounds. The dance was "A
great success socially and financially.
The evening was perfect one The
moon shone brightly and the air was
cool and pleasant. The music was es-
pecially good.
The music was under the direction
and furnished by Mr.. w A. Sohulz's
orchestra, and consisted of eight
pieces. The good music was comment
ed upon by every one and some dc.
clared il was the best heard at Bouch-
er's this season. The floor was in ex-
cellent condition and the dancing pa
viliOn was made attractive by bunting
and flags of all nations. The crowd
began Co assemble shortly after T. 80
and when the orchestra began playing
at S-o'clock large party had assem-
bled and the dancing floor was filled
with dancers. There was general
good humor and the crowd did not i'm
the least mind being jostled
Too much credit cannot be given to
the committee of Eatsport firemen,
who had the dance in charge, Messrs.
bNaoN CAtAAR f1Et-
bohm, Joseph Tolley and Artie
Boetcher. Messrs. CLARK and Seebohm
worked especially hard TO have the
dance success and gave much of their
time and energy to this end They
were in charge of the refreshments
and sold twenty gallons of ice cream,
not To mention other refreshments
dispensed by them aud their assistants.
The Eastport firemen feel indebted To
the public for their liberal patronage.
and especially to the members of the
Independent No. 2 Fire Department of
Annapolis, who sold large number
of tickets for them and rendered other
valuable assistance.
As an oppression of appreciation
the PASSPORT firemen will tender the
No. Company smoker some time
next month. The 6remen think they
will be materially benefited by the re-
ceipts of last nights dance and will
be enabled to purchase necessary
equipments.
