The crime in question is one to the existence of which we largely owe the existence of that spirit of lawlessness which takes form in lynching.

It is a crime so revolting that the criminal is not entitled to one particle of sympathy from any human being.

It is essential that the punishment for it should be not only as certain but as swift as possible.

The jury in this case did their duty by recommending the infliction of the death penalty.

It is to be regretted that we do not have special provision for more summary dealing with this type of case.
