Biological conditions and the state
Of mind were largely responsible

that when she decided to have a
depression, decided that 1t would
be the biggest and most successful

MARION MOB
LYNCHINC CASE
GOES TO JURY
Death Penalty Waived in
Final Arguments Of
Lennon Trial.

~ United PYess
MARION, Ind, Feb. 27.-Fate Of
Charles Lennon, on trial In connec-
ton with the lynching of two Ne
groes here last Aug. :, was placed
N the hands of a Grant circuit
court jury shortly before noon to-
day.
The death penalty was waived by
Merle N. Wall, deputy attorney
general, in his closing arguments
Tor the state, in which he asked con-
viction under statute providing a
penalty of two to twenty-one years.
The defense waived closing argu-
ments.
In his argument, Wall pointed
out that Lennon had been identified
positively by six witnesses as a
member of the mob which removed
the Negroes from the jail and
hanged them in the courthouse yard,
and that two witnesses testified they
heard him urging mob leaders to
break down the jail doors.
varied Stories Told
Conflicting testimony was given
by defense witnesses Thursday.
Lennon was described as a member
Of the crowd which was pushed into
a position near the entrance Of the
Jail as a citizen who had urged the
mob to desist from trying to force
an entrance to the jail. Witnesses
also testified that he left the vicin-
ity of the jail a few minutes after
the mob obtained custody of the
Negroes, and that he did not par
ticipate in the hangings.
Defense witnesses included the
defendants wife, Mrs. Mary Len
non; his brother law, Paul
Thompson, and his mother-i n-law,
Mrs. Ella Thompson.
Deny Part in Lynching
Paul Riddle another defense Wit
ness, and Thompson testified that
they we're with Lennon throughout
the early part of the evening and he
did not actively participate in the
lIlODs l1lGlI CbOl lCo' WClC OlAlJ o4AdACAA
in minor details by Merl Wall and
Earl Stroup, deputy attorneys-gen
eral in charge of the prosecution.
The courtroom has remained
crowded throughout the trial Of the
case. Many Negroes have attended.
Other Cases in Balance
Failure to convict Lennon, it is
expected, would result in dismissal
of affidavits, all filed by Attorney
General James M. Ogden, against
six other defendants, including for
mer Sheriff Jacob Campbell, who is
charged with neglect of his official
duties as a result Of the lynching.
The first trial ended in acquittal
of Robert Be5llire.
Details of the treatment received
by the two Negroes after the mob
obtained custody of them and before
they were hanged, were again re-
lated from the stand by witnesses for
the state. Many Of those witnesses,
chiefly police officers and sheriff
officials, who were on duty at the
jail, were unable to identify Lennon
as a member of the mob. Those who
did declared that he was more than
fifteen or twenty feet from the jail
entrance.

SUVA. Fiji Islands, Feb. 81. -
Days and possibly weeks may elapse
before full details are known Of the
disastrous hurricane which swept
across the Fiji islands, leaving in
its wake a toll of at least 100 dead
and heavy damage to buildings and
crops.
The hurricane drove a great wall
Of water before it and flooded huge
areas in the Lautoka, Ba and Rewa
districts. Practically every building
in Lautoka was damaged and many
were demolished.
The roof of a hospital was torn
off, hampering relief work among
the injured and homeless.
The hurricane began the night
of Feb. q, diSrupting coramunica-
tons SO that word of the disaster
was kept from the outside world.
Little yet is known of the devasta-
ton wrought in the remote sections
of the 1890 islands.
