The letter aroused fury the followers of Brother Paul either didnt read the Intelligencer or were satisfied their leader needed no championing, if they did and other letters poured in calling for various expressions of popular disapproval, from simple boycott up through tarring and feathering to plain and elaborated with gasoline and castration lynching. The grass was a hot topic.
"Go home, boys; go home! You can't do any lynching while the Apaches are here!" "Give us the hombres, Boss!" shouted a threatening voice, "or we'll have to be rough on you." "Send the lady home," called someone else. "This is no job for a lady to see." "Boss," said Suma-theek in Jim's ear, "you send your squaw out.
Van Zandt if he would value a seat in the Senate of these United States, rather than a lynching rope! So much do I value your honorable acquaintance with Mr. Polk and with Mr.
And you sit here snivelling about your lynching. Why, what are the necks of ten such devils worth to your good name? When I come to think of it, I'd like to lend a hand at a lynching myself. If I had Rann here " The governor laughed dryly. "To tell the truth, my dear fellow, I don't take it seriously. The people know me." Galt uttered an angry exclamation and flung out his hand.
These are now usually restrained by the fear of punishment, but if this fear were removed, such murders would probably become much more common, as may be seen from the present behavior of certain soldiers on leave. Moreover, certain kinds of conduct arouse public hostility, and would almost inevitably lead to lynching, if no other recognized method of punishment existed.
Sharkey might stop with the point of his chin a blow that would send many another into kingdom come; but so long as Sharkey does the stopping the danger remains non-existent. If, however, hate instead of lucre bring the men together, that motive would be sufficient to make the game one of blood if not of death. Lynching, is another kind of murder, and a cowardly, brutal kind, at that.
Every lynching means just so much moral deterioration in all the children who have any knowledge of it, and therefore just so much additional trouble for the next generation of Americans. Let justice be both sure and swift; but let it be justice under the law, and not the wild and crooked savagery of a mob.
Yuh may pin this on to Al, but that won't let the Sawtooth in. The Sawtooth's too slick for that. They'd be more likely to make up a lynching party right in the outfit and hang Al as an example than they would try to shield him. He's played a lone hand, Swan, right from the start, unless I'm badly mistaken. The Sawtooth's paid him for playing it, that's all."
If we have bad laws, or if our good laws are not enforced; if corporations and capital are "tyrannous and strong;" if white men murder one another and black men outrage white women, all this is our own fault the fault of those, among others, who seek redress or revenge by rioting and lynching.
It is a thing which no novelist should expect of his reader, and we will go back at once to Judge Henry and his meditations about lynching. He was well aware that if he was to touch at all upon this subject with the New England girl, he could not put her off with mere platitudes and humdrum formulas; not, at least, if he expected to do any good.
