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.
