ing him to a tree, slowly tortured
hi in to death by fire.
The details of this atrocity, as re
port'd by eye-witnesses, are too r*v
volting to ho here set forth; but shock
every moral sensibility, and aro vio
lative of every principle of law. or
der and civilization, Irrespective of
section, color, political* creed or re
ligious conviction.
We deplore the hideous crime with
which this man was charged. None
could possibly feel a deeper sym
pathy than we with those loved ones
and friends upon whom its blow fell
with such shocking weight. The
criminally insane act wherein a fair
yorng mother was foully murdered
wo condemn with all our souls.
But we are convinced that mir,
courts and our laws are amnlyi ade
quate to tho meting out of retributive
Justice, without t\e aid of such a
mob orgy ns that which has only add
ed crime to crime, and made increas
ingly diffcult the legal processes
which are our only security and
strength
Tills man was denied due process
of trial; and while protesting inno
cence. even in torture and unto death,
ho was killed upon the basis of sus
picion. the evidence bring circum
stantial.
Whether guilty or Innocent, his
lynching was barbarism: U nuu^Uic
substitution of tho law of the jungle
for tho orderly processes of civilized
life.
At a time when the world is ueoth-
who | f nc fn Hocial unrest and disquietude,
last j anarchy overwhelms whole set-
,H ‘* tions of the world, when crime waves
have engUifed many of our own sec-
i tions and cities, wp hang our heads
'*• j in shame, that Georgia, and Athens,
tho seat of our beloved State univer
sity. with its thousand* of youme men
and young women, hero gathered for
educational and moral training in fu
ture elDz irnhip. should have been the
place for the perfornian e of such vio
lence and brutalities as those which
have recently placed upon la all this
bloody blot.
Re it resolved, therefore:
First. That we denounce tills mob
, violence, as disgraceful, unwarranted,
adiiig | Hurl without any vestige of JiislLfica-
As it will be J non upon any basis whatsoever. We
u ‘“ “ condemn the same as subversive of
every interest we hold prrt'ious, com
plicatlng, as It does, racial relations
and domestic peace; adding fuel, an |
It does, to the flames of anarchy
which threaten us, and violating, a*
It docs, every law of God and of

of the sheriff and his bailiffs, togv tlicr

Third. That we beg of our grand

general, and our Judges, a thorough
investigation as to the Identity of tho
