WOULD CLEAR NAME OF MAN BURNED BY MOB
|McCLENNAN COUNTY JURIST SAYS
NAME OF MAN WHOSE BODY WAS
BURNED BY MOB SHOULD Be CLEARED

Waco. Texas Sept. 14.-Referring to
the work OF mobs. District Judge p.
l. Munroe. in delivering his formal
charge TO the McLennan County grand
jury said:
1.-THE plain truth is that the mob
will only permit the courts TO try
those cases which they do not care
to handle themselves. Mob violence
and mob rule seem to be such a
firmly established institution in this
country that those guarantees in your
Constitution and mine, In many in-
stances, seem to be worthless scraps
of paper.
"a government without law IL An
archy, and mob violence will contrib
ute more than all else to bring about
this condition"
The court directed special attention
on the part of the grand jury to the
killing Of three persons recently.
The charge of Judge MunrOe to
the grand jury Is as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury: On
the night of May %, last a young
man by the name Of Harrell Bolton
was shot and killed about four miles
east Of Waco. This occurred after the
last grand jury had adjourned. Short
ly thereafter Colored man by the
name of jesse Thomas was shot and
killed on account OF nis supposed con-
nection with the above affair, and
while his dead body was passing thru
the the streets I'm a hearse IL was seiz-
ed by mob and what followed Is too
horrible to relate. -
"A part of a resolution adopted by
the executive committee Of the church
Service League, composed OF ladies OF
church of this city, and published
in their church publication. reads
That we recommend that the grand
jury investigate the character and life
of Jesse Thomas. and IL found limo.
cent, that his name be cleared from
! for which he suffered This Is, also
my recommendation to YOU and II
this connection, that you fully inves-
tigate the circumstances surrounding
the murder of young Bolton, and make
a report thereon since there seems e
be grave doubt in many quarters
