In hia charge to the grand jury in open ing court at Raleigh a few days ago Judge Oliver H. Allen said: "Lynching ia a crime our people should consider and discuss carefully, j If lynching ; was dis cussed before the occasion there would be less lvnchlmr done. It Is a crime which cannot be Justified. I have sympathy with a community where an outrage is committed and no sympathy with the criminal, but lynchlnir accomplishes noth ing except making criminals of the lynch ers themselves. No man la lynched ex cept lor cnmea that he could be eaaiiy. in some Instances too easily, convicted of and sentenced. ' You do not bear ' of man being lynched for any of those crimes for which a conviction is . secured with dimcuity. - Home say it is an out rage Jor the woman to have to come Into court and tell her story of the crime, but before any man la lynched she must tell that story to the lynchers.' Besides our court now know how to conduct these cases privately and only the jury, attor neys and officers need be present at the special term called to try the case. The harm from lynching cornea to the lynch- era, though some good men nave taken part in lyncmnira and advocate them Yet in any mob there must be "aome bad men, and after the lynching haa been com mitted all who took part must be at the mercy of those bad men the rest of their uvea.. 11 one 01 tne lynchers is arterwaras on trial then he haa scores of men fn the community under hia power to help ac quit htm. Then the enect is to promote a lawless spirit among the young men or the not heads of the community and al ter taking the Uie 01 one man they will be less slow to commit the crime again. I commend the Interest and activity of the men who join in mobs, but their power should be exerted for upholding and not creating the law. uet them capture the criminal, place him In jail, de mand a speedy trial, and until that trial takes place assist the sheriff In preserving order and protecting the Uie 01 the prle- oner, :-.
