Two Kinds of Mob Justice.

An armed mob forced its way into the Mil
ledgeville prison farm, made magnificent charge
upon prisoner still weak from a recent wound, car
ried him 100 miles in automobile, and lynched
him. The ceremony lacked nothing in dramatic
detail. 1t afforded ample qualification for pecu-
liar sense of justice.
Yet, somehow, the spectacular glamor OF the
affair fades upon comparison with the manner
in which mob justice was carried out in the
wild and woolly West There the condemned
man occasionally given revolver and afford
ed chance to fight for his life. Instead of being
sneaked away by mob, all wearing the masks OF
towards, he was allowed to fight single advcr-
sary in the open. The best shot determined his
guilt or innocence.
There was nothing quite so heroic or dramatic
in mob justice as it was meted out in Georgia
One wonders whether these sclf-appointed dis
pensers OF justice would rot have beat a quick
and ignominious retreat if confronted by a man
who had chance for his life
