| - They are the conservators of the peace and order of their county. If in their judgement this was necessary to preserve the same, then it is right. Rape cannot be excused under any circumstances. Death is the only punishment adequate, and the delays of the law cannot be tolerated by an outraged community under such circumstances. (en)
- Our town is to-night laboring under a very great excitement, but a quiet one. To-day about 250 armed men composed of the best citizens of the county came in town about one o'clock, went to the jail, demanded a negro who was incarcerated last Friday, and forced the jailor to deliver to them said negro. They then in the most quiet manner, for so large a crowd, marched from the jail to the hill east of the court house near Dr. Nesbet's and there hung him till he was entirely dead. His body was taken down about 3 o'clock this evening by order of Judge Cannon, and lies in the court house. (en)
