Prominent White Man Executed for Stealing Negro Slave in 1854
An Augusta Herald reprints Laurens South Carolina notes on the last white man hanged there, Dr Thomas Kinman, for stealing a slave. The piece contrasts 1850s swift justice with modern delays, noting Kinman’s circumstantial evidence and rapid verdict, the governor’s potential pardons, and a pre-Civil War era of safer life and property. It argues lawfulness has declined, causing national crime surges.
