The Debate Over Lynching

A recent sensation at the summer assembly at Chautauqua was a discussion of the crime of lynching, which was defended by John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Dr. J. M. Buckley taking the opposing side. Mr. Graves contended that while lynching was a crime, it was a necessity, as being the only effective means of restraining the evil to which it was applied. His remarks were received with applause by his audience.
