THE CHESTERFIELD LYNCHING^ The killing cl Ca$sie Boone week in Chesterfield county is al- , most incredible in its sickening details. When the negro desperado, Sam llose, was burned at the i stake in Qeorgia a few months j ago it caused a thrill of horror! throughout the country. Tin's; victim of a mob's fury in his tragic I death expiated a number of crimes ; oJ' fiendish atrocity, and yet some sympathy was felt for his torture. I The case of Cassie Boone was j juite different. A young woman i stabbed to death aixi her body b.urnt while in the death agony, is a new phase of lynch law, and one that causes a shudder to come j a.ver everyone opposed to a relapse mto savage, barbarism. Then, a hideous cjimay., I comes the supposition that the woman's husband was the chiefi lustigatorof the henioits crime. | If such a deed goes unavenged there is no telling to what it will i lead. Lynch law js bad enough at best, but when defenceless wo-j men become victims of mens raur-; . .. . ! Cirrous naireu, mo nine nus tome when radical. step>. should. be: taken to punislj to the fullest ex- j tent the guilty perpetrators. ' THAT FARte JOURNAL PREMIUM j ?* % * r !
