Opening the superior court here,
Judge Frank A. Daniels, brother OF
Secretary Daniels, in his charge to the
grand jury, scored mob law in no un-
certain terms. Citing the Franklin.
ton lynching as distressing exam
Pile of what an infuriated crowd can
do, he said that when someone plead
ed with the infuriated mob to desist
the answer came back that II they let
criminals go to the courts the courts
would not convict and II they did con-
vict the governor would not let their
sentence stand.
Judge Daniels denounced such an
excuse as being only the abb OF
towards, but at the same time urged
the grand jury to do Its duty in such
a manner as nobody would question
Its sincerity.
Judge Daniels, continuing his re-
marks, said that county officials who
are lukewarm about law enforcement
bring reproach on any community.
There are communities, he said. in
which sherff's posse can be recruit
ed at any time to chase little negro
for stealing pig, while people guilty
OF graver offenses are allowed to 90
