Johnson, the slleged murderer of his brother-in- law, had been placed on trial at the Inst term of Superior Court at Wades- boro and after a hearing which occu pled nearly a week, the Jury waa un able to agree, the final ballot showing eleven for murder In the second de gree and one for manslaughter. A mistrial was ordered and the prison er remanded to Jull to await a second trial. Thin was the actuation when the mob broke down the lall doors and put Johnson to death, and the InHlunce furnishes food for thought ore than does the lynching of a negro for "the usual crime." It was not the result of a sudden Impulse, of wrought-up public Indignation over a shocking crime, but rather a feeling that a murderer was likely to em-ape just punishment at the hands of tha law. In thla the action of the mob was a great deal worse than Is usually the case, for It In ef feet defied the courts and took the I into lis own hands, while as a tile lynchers merely anticipate the action of the law.
