Neff Wants Laws
Enforced Legally
Austin, Texas, Oct 11 i inventor Neff
late today dispatched .1 spenul deliver)
letter addressed t" the .1 udge of tile
Kitty-l* ourth Oistriet Court, the prose-
cuting .•tlnritej and members of the Ml
Lenuun County grain! Jury at Waco ten- I
tiering them the "entire civil and military
power of the State" in their present in-
vestigation, advising them that the law
can and should be enforced "only through |
the duly 1'instituted luthoritlues of the
Government,” and further nd visitor that
hi1 Ita.s been waiting for "some days" for
an opinion from tlie Attorney General "In
ivgu I to eert.iin interpretations of the
Jaw with reference lv> matters to be In-

The rtior wrote that he hoped to
have tin \ttorney Geie rat's opinion by to-
la.rrow and that upon its receipt be
would imiuedihtey transmit it to Waco
inr c.insideration by those addressed in
hisJetter.
I'Tfst Assistant and Acting Attorney
Gene a I W. A Keeling, who is understood
to be preparing the opinion, said late to-
day licit be was not nt all positive ’that
the opinion would be prepared by tomor-
row but that it might be several days
before it was ready.
Governor Neff's letter advising that the
law can, and should be enforced by the
duly constituted authorities of the Gov-
ernment is accepted Ip re as a direct stand
against any organization attempting to
function as n Government in this State.
His letter follows the statement of last
week by 1 .lent Gov. Lynch I lavidson in
which lie took the same posit it 'A and went
further by advocating n special session of
the Legislature to enact laws to effec-
tively put down all attempts of Ku Klux
Klan or other organizations to interfere
with tile authorized Government in Texas.
Guveronr Neffs letter to the Waco
authorities reads as follows
"I notice through ‘he public press that
you will tomorrow commence tlie inves-
ligalion of certain illeged flagrant vio-
lations of tin- law in McLennan County,
in your endeavor to find the truth, and
in ynur effort to uphold the law. I ten-
der to vou and through you lo all the
peace officers of the county the entire
civil and military power of the State.
"The law can and should be enforced
only through t lie duly constituted au-
thorities of the Government. No individual
and no organization, however large,
should be iibavi the law. The strong arm
of tie- law should reach up and down and
all around and bring to the bar of justice,
without fear or favor, all .hose who tram-
ple tin law under their feel To this end
the law enforcing powei of the State Is
at your command.
"I have been waiting for some days for
a written opinion, which I have requested
'from the \ttornoy General of the State,
in regard to certain interpretations oi the
taw ..'itb re! ''epee to matters to be in-
vestigated by you. I hope to have this
opinion by tomorrow. Immediately on
receipt of it, 1 shall transmit it to yon
for your consideration.”
Negro is burned
By Leesburg Mob
Leesburg, damp County, Texas. Oct. 11
—"I did it I am sorry," were the last
words uttered by Wylie ,\IcNe»ly, :%,.l!i-
year-,d'l negro who was taken Ctk>m of-
ficers .it tlie county jail ai Mourn Pleas-
ant last flight and brought to this place
and burned by a. mob of uOO persons.The
lynching took place four miles east of
Leesburg about midnight.
Me Nealy was held Pillowing an assault
upon the 8-year-old daughter of a well-
known farmer near nee-. He had con-
fessed to the attack.
Tiic child was walking alone along the
enmity road on her way from Sunday
sehoul to her father’s '.tome Sunday morn-
ing. She said afterwai 1 that the first
she knew was that it coat was thrown over
her head and she felt a hand at her
■ hroat, after which she lost conscious-
ness.
Three hours later on Sunday the ne-
gro. who had been acting suspiciously,
was arrested in front of a store in the vil-
lage. He was taken to Pittsburg and
later to Mount Pleasant, where ho was
lodged in jail.
That night a mob formed, but due to
k-iok of leadership, nothing was done. The
next evening 4U0 or 500 determined men
gathered and in 1.00 automobiles went
1 from the Leesburg vicinity to Mount
Pleasant and deliberately stormed the
jail, took the negro and carried him back
near the scene of the crime.
A steel rail was procured and leaned
over a stump in such -i way that the
upper end was about five i'-et from the
ground The negro wus fastened face
downward to the upper end of this rail
l>\ means of chains about his neck,
shoulders and feet. He was asked if he
n.vthing to say and replied:

The black made no outcry. There was
no excitement among the members of
tin crowd. Kveryone was quiet and de-
termined. There was hardly a sound
above a low tone or a whisper.
Under the swaying form of the negro
a piece of kindling and brush was placed
and soaked with kerosene. A match was
t, tched to it and soon the flames leaped
up and enveloped the writhing from of
the black boy. The crowd watched in si-
lence. Aside from a few moans there
was no sound as the body on the end of
the rail turned and twisted. In four or
.live minutes he was unconscious and
within half an hour ihe badv was burned
almost beyond recognition ns that of a
human being. •
The crowd quietly dispersed about mid-
night. leaving the body swaying over the
dving embers.
The Sheriff of the county declared that
from all appearances the little girl bad
been in the woods with the negro for
pearly an hour.

be ignored.
That is why we rep-

we recommend their
sound protection to
