MOB TAKES TOLL I
OF 3,224 IN 30
YEARS IN NATION
South Has Largest Number of
Victims With 2,834; "One
Crime" Grows Less
By Associated, Press.
\r\T York, May 2.'—ln the last 30
years 3,224 persons have been put to
death by mobs, according: to a report
made public to-day by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
For the thirty years period from
TSB9 through 191S, the North has hail
219 victims, the South 2,834, the West
156 and Alaska and other localities
fifteen.
"Fifty colored women and 11 whit'
women were lynched in 14 States.'
the report says. "Thirteen of the 1*
States in. which women fell victim.?
to mobs were Southern States, No
braska being tho only State outsid
the South which lynched women. The
North and West together have
lynched 21 young persons during th
lust five years period, whereas during
the same time 304 persons won.
lynched in the South."
Ignore \N ilsnn's Vppenl
Regarding President Wilson's ap
peal to State Governors and othe
civil officers to prevent lynching, the
report says:
"Despite President Wilson's earn
est appeal, made under such extra
ordinary eireumst inces, lynching,
continued during tin? remaining j<
Hod of the war with unabated fury
Sixty-three negroes live of wh.u
were women—and four white mer
fell victims to mob ruthiessness dur
ing 1918, and in no case was an:
member of the mobs convicted in an>
court and in only two instances were
i rials held. In both of these
the mob members were acquitted."
In conclusion the report says:
"It is apparent that lynchings of
negroe 8 for other causes than the so
called 'one crime* have for the whol<
period been a large majority of al
lynchings, and that for the last 11 v.
years less than one in five of the col
ored victims have been accused of 'at
tacks upon women'."
