SENSELESS VENGEANCE
VOTES FOR ROLPH (Rec. 7.10 p.m.) New York, Nov. 28. As an aftermath to the disturbance in Maryland a mob invaded the cemetery and disinterred the body of the negro lynching victim and hacked off his head. Some members said that they would ship the head to Governor Ritchie as a "souverir." During. the riot tlie mob continually shouted tbey would never vote for Governor Ritchie again, but would vote for Mr. Rolph if he ran for the presidency. The editors of the Harvard University "Crimson," an undergraduate newspaper, praised Mr. Rolph in a leader to-day saying: "Thurmond and Holmes were too guilty to be accorded the delightful interlude called American criminal justice. The mob is sick of the systefii that convicts 299 out of 300 lawabiding citizens for violating automobile traffic regulations and then refuses to convict 79 out of 80 persons accused of murder."
