This means that In 1914 there were X at tempts at lynching. f2 of which were successful, and that In 11)24 there were lil attempts ut lynch ing, 4ft of which were prevented by the foresight, energy und courage of public officials. In the prevention of lynching tlie report polnt.s out that some times the sheriffs or ot her of ficials risked their lives to pro tect their prisoners so that they might be given a legal trial. In other ciuses, requiring more moral courage, sheriffs and other officials opened fire on friends und neighbors when it became necessary to huvo their charges, jn some other ruses lynch lugs were prevented by public: officials who promptly removed prisoners committed to their cure from communities in which the crimo wiih committed and Ho prevented lynchiugH.
