U.S.A. LYNCHINGS
INNOCENT VICTIMS. [BY CABLE—PBESS ASSN.—COPYBIGHT.] (Received November 10, 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, November 9. A startling report issued at Atlanta by the Southern Commission on lynching, says: Two of the twenty-one persons lynched in 1930 were certainly innocent, and eleven others were possibly innocent negroes. Political impotence is called • a factor in the “indifference” of law officers towards the mobs. • The Commission gave illustrations of “legal lynchings,” namely trials under mob pressure. Altogether 3693 lynchings have occurred since 1889.
