Charles Lynch, the Virginia judge and Revolutionary colonel, whose excess of his authority in dealing with traitorous Tories gave us the verb "to lynch," Is said to have been a descendant ol James Lynch Fitz-Stephen, the mayor of Galway, who condemned his own son, Walter, to death for murder, and personally hanged him. Thomas Walker Page, in an article on Charles Lynch in the Atlantic Monthly in 1901, wrote: "There is a tradition that somewhere in the misty past one of his forelathers was mayor of a certain Irish city and meted out justice with so stern a hand as to eain the sobriquet 'Hanging Pat.

Hardiman's "History of Galway" records the incident but does not mention any relationship between the Irish mayor and the American Judge Lynch, although the father of Judge Lynch did come from Galway. It has been written that the verb "to lynch" descends from the severity of the Galway mayor, but that must be a mistake, for his conduct was in strict accordance with the law. In fact, he performed his duty in defiance of public outcry and at some risk of his own life, for Walter was a popular youth and the situation shocked the people. JUDGE'S ACT CONDONED BY LEGISLATURE Moreover, there is much data to show that the Virginia Judge Lynch gave rise to the term. He exceeded the law, and the legislature afterward adopted a resolution condoning his acts, thus admitting that in some circumstances it might be necessary to violate the law in the.

public Interest. The legislature could not actually legalize illegal acts, but the members expressed a hope that their resolution would be accepted as an offset to any claims against Judge Lynch for damage. With this prestige, lynching came to be regarded as all right, even though unlawful, and, as Mr. Page wrote, "the custom dies slow-ly." There were 130 lynchings in 1.901, when he wrote his story, but there had been 231 cnly nine years before and last year there were only eight. James Lynch Fitz-Stephen's personal code of justice probably was no more typical of high public officers in his time than of men who might find themselves similarly confronted today.

The mayor was a wealthy merchant trading with Cadiz, and cn one voyage he invited the young son of a Spanish merchant named Gomez to visit him In Galway. Young Gomez was about the age of the mayor's son, Walter, and one night Walter thought he noticed something in the glance of his fiancee, Agnes, which indicated that the Spaniard was on the point of blighting his life, There was a lovers' quarrel, and the next night Walter observed the Spaniard leaving the home of his O.

The knife mark is plainly discernible in the treaty which is of particular interest to children studying history of the Seminoles. In the same collection are maps dating as far back as 1527. They were displayed at a meeting of the Florida Historical society at the University of Tampa last week.

CITY EMPLOYES TO GREET GASPARILLA had gone to polish up her old men's Spanish if you believe that. Walter didn't. So Walter chased him down by the docks, shouting, "He shall die, tiddy- eye-tie!" and soon a shriek was heard in the night and a hat with a white plume went floating in the moonlight on the water. RUNS INTO POSSE LED BY HIS FATHER Walter ran away and hid, but came out next day End ran into a posse led by his own father.

The mayor foresaw, as Hardiman's "History" says, that should he shrink from his duty public disgrace awaited him, which is a humorously solemn view by comparison with the official morals of a day when a father's first suspicions of questionable conduct by his son, prevent investigation, change the subject and find a position of public trust for him. Mayor James Lynch Fitz-Stephen, with an honor that nowadays will appear to have been equally naive and brutal, with his own lips pronounced sentence of death on his boy and sat up with him throughout the night before the execution, in two capacities. He wished to be present 'as the boy's father and comforter, but he was there as guard, also, to see that he shouldn't escape. "He remembered," says Hardiman, "that already he had used his authority with rigid severity in the case of another," and he was determined that nobody should accuse him of giving a member of his own family preferred treatment. The mayor spent the rest of his "days mourning and never showed his face again, but obviously it would M.
