THE CHATTANOOGA CASE.
Circumstances .surrounding, the
lynching of Ed Johnson, a Chatta
nooga negro, by a mob In that city
night before last render this one of
the most Interesting cases of mob law
lessness that have yet transpired In
the South.
fcor the act bl the Chattanooga mob
was nothing less than a slap in,’ the
face of the Supreme Court of the
United States, the 1 , most august legal
tribunal on the .face of the earth;
Johnson assaulted a young white
girl In a suburb of'the Tennessee
city. He was tried, adjudged guilty
and sentenced to be hanged yester
day. But on Moqday, tho day before
that set for the carrying out of the
death penalty,■ the' Supreme Court
granted a stay of execution. In re
porting the action of the- Supreme
Court,, an Associated Press dispatch
from Washington states that “no rea
sons were assigned for Intervention. 1
.Here Is a case which Illustrates bet
tor, perhapB, than hits been Illustrated
beforo, tho fact that the people of the
South will not tolerate unnecessary
delay In applying, tbe lnw which gov
erns In cases where virtuous woman
hood has been made the victim of the
lust of an animal In human form.
Whon such a crime Is committed, a
lynching Is almost Inevitable unless
the criminal manages to escape or the
ofilcers of' the law prove rarely dili
gent and resourceful. It nearly proved
so In the Chattanooga case, frantic
efforts hhvlng been made by a mob to
.secure possession of Johnson before
the. sheriff's posse which arrested him
spirited him away.
But the law triumphed for the mo
ment, and the negro was accorded
fair and Impartial trial. The ‘people
of the community appeared to be sat
isfied, and there was no hint of vio
lence bo long as It nppenred that the
sentence of death Imposed would be
oarrlod out without delay.
Then enme the Interference of the
Supremo Court. In less than twelve
hours from tho time the stay of exe
cution was granted, Johnson's riddled
body lay In a Chattanooga'street. The
lynching was quickly nnd quietly ac
complished by seventy-five orderly
cltlzons, wlio created no disturbance
nnd Indulged In no rowdyism. It was
prompt and complete answer to the
dictum ot the highest Judicial body
which sits as tho representative of the
lnw of the land.
The Herald does not advocate mob
law, nor doos It presume to defend
lynchers, but here Is n case where we
will go to the extent of confessing
that we do not blame the Chattanooga
•mob which reversed tho., decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States night before Inst.
■Jli^ State of Tennesseo had dis
charged her full duty to the negro
Johnson: ,The commonwealth had
promoted him from the mob which
sought Ills life Immediately following
the perpetration of the crime, nnd had
accorded him a fair trial under tho
rules of law. The verdict qf “guilty"
was justified by the evidence, and tho
people had a right to expect It to
stand.
The Supreme Court granted a stay
of execution simply becuuse It was
requested by an attorney represent
ing the condemned negro. “No rea
sons were assigned for Intervention."
It was simply a move to defeat the
expressed Will of a community .which
had acted with more than ordinary
forbearance. The merits of the case,
so far as the Supreme Court was con
cerned, were left for future Investiga
tion.
It Is Inconceivable that tho Supremo
Court should yiot have known what
effect its action would have, for of
precedents there were scores, afld It
is therefore no wild statement to do
clare that the highest court under
the nation’s flag was responsible for
the tragedy of Monday night.
The courts, nnd even some of our
governors, are slow to learn; but per
haps they will, after awhile.
