Can One Man Lynch2

We do no not know that any man In
Laurens defends the lynching of Nor
rlson who brutally murdered young
Floyd 1t was most infamous muir
der that Morrison did In cold blood
he shot down in his tracks a fine young
farmer boy who had given no offence.
suppose you had seen Morrison mur-
der poor Floyd. Would you have gone
with The crowd and helped to hang
this man who killed two men befora
hs assassinated Floyd?
Suppose you alone had met Morrison
an hour after he butchered Floyd.
Suppose you had been AIMED with d
pistol and had "gotten the drop on
him?"
Believing that Morrison should b.
lynched, would you alone have then
and there lypched him-shot him to
death with your pisto'?
LII not, why not?
Suppose that you, with none other
present. only you and the victim pres
ent, you having him in your power,
should lynch a man-how would you
feel about it ever afterwards?
You are reasonable man. Would
you be any less guilty if you were to ne
one of hundred in lynching than IL
you were the whole lynching party
the whole mob?
Judge Watts in his charge to the
Lancaster grand jury said that ell the
iynchers of Morrison we're "murder-
ers."
If one man having Morrison In his
power had shot him down without CIV
ing him a chance, you would have said
that Morrison was murdered - not
lynched.
III the slayers of nan are hundred
do they therefore cease to be murder
ers? Was not Judge Watts accurate in
his use of words?

The mariner took down his log from

The drift of this succinct remark was
not lost upon his companion, who dis
creetly kept his eyes upon his glass.
The speaker continued, dropping his
voice and leaning ON the table: "The
marquis and l had somewhat of busi-
ness together, although we never met.
In fact, made this voyage at his own
request. Now to be frank, the news of
