The Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury report submitted
10 Hon. I. F. Bell, judge of the First
Judicial District Court, should re-
ceiNe careful and considerable at
tention from the law-abiding citi-
zens of Caddo Parish.
The denunciation of the lynching
| of Charles Tyson, a negro preacher
near Myrtis, as disgrace, is reflec-
tive of the opinion of the good citi-
zens Of the parish, as is also the
murder of Charles Bell, negro, as
sassinated near Vivian. Assassina-
ton in any guise presented Is
odious, and if the assassins are not
held to account, then the life Of any
man who may incur their displeas-
ure is in peril.
In the lynching of Charles Tyson,
negro preacher, whose reputation
was that of a quiet and orderly
man. no cause is assigned, except,
perhaps, that the misconduct of his
assassins We're known to him and
therefore his removal by death was
planned and executed deliberately.
Equally reprehensible is the muir
der of Charles Bell, who from the
view of his assassins was an unde-
sirable.
| AS the Caucasian has repeatedly
announced, there is only one iusti-
cation for lynching, and that is in
..e cas-. where a woman has been
ASSAULTED, but in such instance there
| must be no mistake. Indeed, the
proof beyond the semblance of a
doubt must be established.
In their report the Grand Jury
states that certain officials outside
of the City of Shreveport in this
parish are interested in the illegal
sale of intoxicating liquors" but ev-
idence is lacking for their convic
ton. 1t is assumed that if the
Grand Jury is possessed of any init
nation of such violation of law by
these certain officials, sufficient in
formation should have been devel-
|oped to have warranted their indict-
ment, OF at least to have suggested
their denunciation in words more
direct and specific than in the invi-
tation of the law-abiding citizens
knowing of such conditions to re-
port at the next sitting of this Grand
Jury.
i In dealing with such defiance OF
law, especially where certain Off
Gals are suspected, there should be
no indulgence Of sentiment nor any
hardness in their exposure. The
burden of proof in all such case:
should rest on the individuals who
lmay be charged with such derelic-
ton of duty.
j Any official, of high or low sta.
ltion, who will wink at, or connive
fdirectly or by silent acquiescence
with the violation of the law, should
be removed from office.
I How can the law-breakers have
respect for law, OF be deferred II
their contempt for law, if they art
encouraged by officials who, regard.
less of their oath, defy the law?
