Notorious Lynch Judge and Murky News in South
The Sun recounts a lynching in Lexington North Carolina with haunting ritual overtones and a crowd’s grim prayer led by a mercantile traveler as the condemned man faces his fate. It covers literary piracy allegations against Bertermann, political gossip about Russie Harrison, and jabs at Gen. Russell Alger plus barber crime tales and the praised Syrup of Figs as a gentle laxative.
