Reason Given for the Increase in Num ber of Lynchings. Savannah, Oa., April 5. In the State Baptist convention today George Ilili yer, ex-Mayor of Atlanta, and for merly on the bench of the Superior court, presented a . report from the committee on crime and lynchings. After reading the report the Judo gave some startling figures upon the increase of crime, urging the considera tion of the question upon the church and suggesting that, ns law was slow, the krgixlative body be appealed to to note the facts and figures, to urge action upon that body, reminding them of the army of voters presenting the appeal. Judge Miliyer said that in the United States there were more homicides than in Scotland, England, and Prussia. The matter had been brought before the bar associations in 1894 and 189(5. In 1894 there n-ere 5,000 homicides in the Uni ted States, and in 1800 there were 10. 000. In the past year more homicide were committed in tho United States thnnmen were killed In Cuba, and mure than fell at Gettysburg or in the Philip pines. People were losing confidence in the law, and there was a lack of interest in the public mind. The press has been remarkably nu'u-k in bringing the matter to the attention of the public, and the ease with which vr.r dicts are set aside in the court-room and the facility with which notorious crim inals escaptf punishment have brought much of this about. The amount of crime is iiiercasinir, and it seems that the criminal is the only one that has any rights. The people l.-we confidence in the effectivemess of the law to punish criminals; hence the in crease in lynching: Judge Hillyer said that although he had twice brought this matter before the Bar Association, thy had taken no action. He now appealed from the bar to the church to aid in correcting th'.s great evil. The resolutions call upon the Legis lature to so amend the code of criminal procedure and enlarge tne powers of the courts as to let all men know that the law is willing and able to do imme diate and thorough justice in every case. They assert that lynchings arc a result of distrust In the promptness and effi ciency of thw legal machinery. NOTICE.
