[1] The Association has in preparation a pamphlet, which will appear in April, 1919, entitled, "Thirty Years of Lynching in the United States, 1889-1918," which can be secured from the secretary. [2] "The bodies of the dead Negroes," testified an eye-witness, "were thrown into a morgue like so many dead hogs." Ibid., page 4. [3] See page 18 for chronological list of name, place, date and alleged cause of lynchings for 1918. [4] Nothing came of this request in the way of legal action. [5] Four of the lynched victims were white men (one each in Arkansas, California, Illinois and Texas), 63 were Negroes and 5 of the latter women. [6] In _The Crisis_ for February, 1919, page 181, this total is given as 12. The case of George Cabiness, whose mother and four brothers and sister were lynched, for alleged threats to avenge the killing of George, has been eliminated from the lynching record as the latter was alleged to have been killed resisting arrest. [7] According to press accounts, except in a very few cases in which the victim was actually tried before a court and later taken from the jail and lynched. [8] Published in _The Crisis_ for September, 1918 _The Work of a Mob_, and reprinted by the Association under the title, "_The Lynchings of May, 1918, in Brooks and Lowndes Counties Georgia_," September, 1918, 6 p.
