The first reports of the lynching said two or thousand people were in the mob. The Observer correspond says tho sheriff, the solicitor and a United States senator all faced the approaching mob and could not recognize a man in all the crowd save one of the four who has been arrested. On this Salisbury can prove an alibi. The four arrested on the charge of participation in the lynching and any others who can be proven guilty, ought to be punished.
