LYNCH|NC WAS
MURDER STATES
GEORGIA JUDGE
Judge H. B. Strange Instructs
Grand Jury to Investigate
Rocky Ford Affair.

Sylvania, Ca, May 25.-The recent
lynching at Rocky Ford, the only oc-
currence of the kind in Georgia this
year, came in for a severe arraign-
ment by Judge II. b. Strange, in his
charge to the grand jury on the con-
vening of Superior Court here. Il
do not condone or palliate in the
least the crime the victim of the mob
is alleged to have committed" said
Judge Strange. IF he was guilty, he
deserved the extreme penalty of the
law, that Of death. But the Consti-
tuition OF the United States and the
Constitution of Georgia expressly
provide that no person shall be de-
prived Of life, liberty or property
without due process of law. Instead
of giving the case this direction. the
mob disregarded the law and, un-
derstand, burned this party at the
stake. AS much as the victim may
have deserved death, every man en-
gagged in that lynching is guilty Of
murder. They have a stain upon
them that will be hard to eradicate"
Relates Story.
Judge Strange embodied in his
charge a striking story of a relative
whom, as boy, he heard make the
statement at Springfield camp meet
ing that God had forgiven him for
every sin he had committed except
one and that he never expected to be
forgiven for that. II was quite a
boy" said Judge Strange, but I
knew what he referred to. During
the war between the states he had
helped to lynch Brad Jones for buy
ing cotton and other produce from
the slaves and because he sympathiz-
ed with the Yankees. This man was
no weakling; he was then in his
prime and looked every inch a man.
But he had made the mistake that a
great many men make. He had
neipeu 10 take a lie contrary to law
and he was suffering the pangs of his
acts. What will these men do when
they have to stand before the Judge
of all the earth? There will be no
escape there. You may escape an
earthly judge, but then We shall see
Him face to face and we shall know
as we are known. You as grand
jurors investigate this matter and
relieve your own consciences. as this
court has DONE
The charge made a profound i'm
preston. and Judge Strange is back
ed by the leading people of this sec
tion in his courageous stand. The
result of the grand jury's investiga-
ton is awaited with deep interest.
