LYNCHING RECORD FOR THE
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1920.
(From Tuskeega Institute)__
The following information concern¬
ing lynching for the first six months
of this year. I find according to the
records kept by the Department of
Records and Research of the Tuske
gee Institute, Monroe N, Work, in
charge, that there have been in the
first six months of 1920, 12 lynchings.
This is 17 less than the number 29,
for the first six months of 1919, and
33 less than number 45 for the first
six months of 1918.
All of those lynched were negroes.
Eight of those put to death were
charged with the crime of rape.
Filed in office this 6tli day of July,

The outside battles, the castle which usually took p| ll( j .
walls, would s 0 „ B
end when the boiling pitch begun to
flow from a tank on top of the walls,
This originated the term "a pitched
battle.”
