be held mt 9ths request of Solicitor
Tfnnaermsn and will be presided
over by Judge DeVore. That the
culprits will be convicted in short
order and an early execution ordered
by the trial judge is not doubted, and
we believe that our citizens will allow
Sheriff Corley to legally hang the
men without interfering. To attempt
to do otherwise would only make
matters worse and cast stain upon
the fair name of Lexington that it
would take generations. to wipe out.
No good results arise from mob law,
and especially in case of this kind.
The negroes have been safely lodged
in the penitentiary, and the people
have had ample time to consider the
evil effects that would come from
such action. Let the men be tried,
conXicted and then let the Judge do
duty by ordering ap early execu-
tion.
