Moody Runs True to Form

Gov. Moody is running true to form. In condemn
ing the mob action at Eastland he declared combat
ing crime with crime is uniustifiable and wrong. I
cannot tolerate and unhesitatingly say 1t was murder
The taking Of a man from Jail and killing him Is a
capital offense in this state. I glory in the 'spunk Of
the district Judge who SO quickly and positively order
ed an investigation Of the affair. I sincerely hope
the judges efforts will produce desired results to the
end that mob violence ceases in this state. This Is
q law abiding state and the law should always be
allowed to take its course"
And then the governor requested Atty. Gen. Robert
Lee Bobbitt to do what the law permits in appre-
hending the persons who engaged In the lynching
Of Marshall Ratliff.
Yes, the governor runs true TO form As county
attorney Of williamson he prosecuted masked mobbites
and convicted them. AS district attorney he prose-
cuted mob leaders and mob in~stigators and placed
them behind the bars.
Ever for the law OF the courthouse and ever against
the law OF the jungle. he hopes for the arrest and
prosecution OF the mob leaders Of Eastland county.
There is only one law. 1t IS made by the law
makers Of the commonwealth. 1t should be upheld
regardless Of cost. There is no place in Texas for
jungle law or jungle law executioners.
