Suppose it shall turn out thatthbk young man is mistaken in what he Claims to ).)e an error in the court of this county, is it not his duty to make the ef fort in behalf of his client? If it is right to kill this Man Buowx, elieuld it net be done ac cording t.olaw? And what is there so terrible in a few nirmtho' delay ? Why, the expense of boarding him while in prison. When a man is so far lost in the scs'e of mor als as td invite "Judge LYNcu," to 02 , 1110 to the rescue in a community like ours, it is - very e , ident that he has no faith in God or man, but only hi one i lie himself, the Devil. This article clearly skim's that your Bone "Justice" has no idea that God will deal out even-handed justice to this poor creature, brit is extremely anxious himself to aid God. by invoking the lowest pas sion of man to hurry this poor creature out of the world, so that he may also save a few cents it mayco4 him to pay his board while in pris on.
