MANY LYNCHINGS IN 1903
Twelve States and One Territory
Were the scenes-Victims Were
II Whites and SO Negroes.
(Herald Specially

Washington, D. c., Dec 49,
Lynchings in 1909 have numbered
seventy, the highest number recorded
since 1904. The victims numbered
eleven whites and fifty-nine negroes.
The lynchings occurred in twelve
states and one territory-New MeAi-
co. AS in previous years, crimes or
alleged crimes against white women
and murders caused most of these
summary executions. One case, oc-
curing in Cairo, H., combined both
causes and resulted in the placing of
the city under military control for
several days The Cairo lynchings
were the only cases of the kind that
occurred north of the Ohio river dur
ing the year Several double lynch
ings occurred at various points in the
south, and Oklahoma furnished a
quadruple lynching, with four cattle
men as the victims.
In the record the word "lynching"
has been held to apply only to the
summary punishment inflicted by a
mob or by any number of citizens on
a person alleged to have committed a
crime By states the seventy lynch
ing cases recorded are classified as
follows:
