    3. Scott County, Indiana Racine (WI) Daily Journal, January 18, 1899, p. 6. LYNCHERS NOT INDICTED Special Grant Jury at Scottsburg, Indiana Scottsburg, Ind., January 18-The special grand jury called to investigate the lynching of Marion Tyler in this city December 24, adjourned Tuesday without returning any indictments. The jury filed a written report telling of the work that had been done and concluded with the statement that no evidence could be secured upon which to base indictments. Judge New, who summoned the grand jury in special session, is indignant and says he will continue his efforts to bring the lynchers to punishment. The governor and the attorney general may be appealed to.
