Accord Which SMws That Summary -Punishment of Offender Is Not Dimin- ishinjr Most of the Cases Occur in the South. that the practice of taking summary vengeance on peraons g-ullty of certain . forms of crime Is increasing rather than diminishing. The figures for the 12 months beginning January 1, 1908, re larger than for several years past. Though the most of the lynchings ec- curred In the south, they were not con fined to that section by any means. Springfield, I1L, was the scene of the Jrreatest race riot of the year, result ng in the lynching of two negroes and the killing and wounding of a number if citlsens who participated in the riots that lasted several days. Of the other v northern states, one lynching is re corded for Indiana, while California '; furnished the only lynching In the far Mississippi, Georgia and Texas, in , the ordyr named, furnished the greatest umbf lynching for the year.. A quadrfiiKi'i3Rnfr m ' Kentucky in creased t! figures in that state over those of previous years.' The record of Texas for 1908 was sixfold greater than in 1907. In Arkansas and Louisiana; there were fewer lynchings than in ' 1307. Oklahoma shows a clean slate.' and so do Maryland, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, in all of whicb states lynch ings occurred in 1907.- The lynchings for 1908 total 88. This number is exclusive of several who met resisting arrest. Of the 88 victims, 84 were negroes and four were white men. Following is a statement:. v- Alabama.
