ANTI-LYNCHING BILL AMENDED BY COMMITTEE Van Nuys Expected to Read Favorable Report to Senate Soon. BY WALKER STONE Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON. April 11.—Within a few days Senator Frederick Van Nuys <Dem., Ind.* will bring before the senate the Judiciary committee's favorable report on the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill. The bill wag amended yesterday before the committee ordered the favorable report without a dissenting vote. The provision which would have assessed ah arbitrary tax of SIO,OOO against the country in which a lynching occurs, the money to be distributed among dependents of the mob's victim, was modified to permit determination of the penalty by a federal court jury, not less than $2,000, nor more than SIO,OOO. The committee also changed the definition of a lynch mob to read: “Three or more persons acting in concert, without authority of law, to kill or injure any person In the Custody of any peace officer, with the purpose of consequence of depriving such person of due process of law or the equal protection of the law r s.” Under this new definition, according to Senator Van Nuys, the proposed federal statute would not apply in a case where a mob seizes its victim before his arrest by local officers. Although this seems a vital curtailment of the powers of the bill, the senator said he understood the new definition is satisfactory to the groups sponsoring federal antilynching legislation. Another committee amendment makes tw r o counties jointly liable when a prisoner is seized in one county and lynched in another.
