Their view of the matter, if they had any fixed view in the matter, was that these . ffcreo ttipti wpre de<iervine of death for the offense which they had, committed. The court has adjudged that these men, the slayers of Brazill, are guil-l of. murder. They have had a fair', trial, we assume, in the court of the j fcounty where the offense Was com-, mitted. So far as we are able to, $udge there was no unusual excite-1 ment attending the trial, and the men \ were given the opportunity to present any facts which might have ' been adduced in their favor. The court has sentenced these three men > to death. Those who made up the mot may:; moll onneirlor +V101 results ohtninpd. What Jthey sought has been accom- ^ plished by the orderly process of the court. Those who sought to stain their hands with the blood of the three J men have been spared the regrets: ? which must have followed the taking, of the lives of three men by mob ac-i t:on; they have been saved from a charge of murder, a charge if not presented by a grand jury, mqyt needs v have been presented at one time or another by their own consciences. If ' any of them are thoughtful .men, and everyone should examine himself at times, each of these men must real ize today how much more satisfactory is the result of the cases than 1 would have been the case had the mob ft^Bd its way. J ! ?. The mob must be condemned, 1 that is as a mob. The individuals -> . v-V*. ? ; Xt_ X 1_ J ^ 1 wno compose ine inou must ut^ maue to know that they violate the law when they undertake to execute the : - - law themselves. This may be done 1 without needlessly abusing men who 1 ' , from-one cause or another are some,#mes misguided, and whose efforts '" *4re misdirected. Perhaps nothing j; has happened recently that is more s' calculated to*cause these men to hes? itate and think than the event of the trial in Lexington yesterday. It ' 'twere well that men who are disposed to find fault with the administration of justice in the courts consider the rlsult of these trials. -WW V V V V V V WW ' "y'\ f V THE FULLNESS OF OUR V DAY \ V i;..V * .

BURRELL MAN AND WOMAN .BEATEN BY NEGROES (Continued from page one) P According to a long distance message from Chappells this morning, * early yesterday the two negroes who v are alleged to have committed the P assault, applied for a jab on a road j o gang near there, claiming that they a had come from Abbeville. They failed to secure work and are thought t to have remained in hiding In the r wnrvrlet until ?I * upon the aged couple and the rob-: t bery of the store was committed, j They asked a negro on the road where H. Johns lived, it is stated. j The two negroes are said to have ? gone into the store and asked H.' c Johns for some canned goods. When j s he turned to get it , one of them'< struck him a blow over the head with the railroad spike club. Hearing the sound of the old man's body falling, his wife rushed in from an adjoining room and was also struck in the head with the spikes. Both the old people were then beaten almost into insnsibility and the store robbed, reports say. 'It is thought that the old man will die, reports from tim this morning state. He is being given medical attention at his home. His wife is also severely injured. The two old people have been running a store near Vaughanville for a number of years. H. Johns was a native German, who came to this country years ago and settled where he now lives. Officers throughout this section have been notified to keep a lookout for the negroes. They are making an effort to locate the tall, yellow negro implicated in the alleged confession of the negro arrested at New Market.?Index Journal.
