Raleigh, Dec. 7—“I am determined to use every particle of power given me by the constitution of this state to prevent lynchings in it while I am Governor,” asserted Governor Cameron Morrison today in a letter addressed to J.R. Boddie, clerk to the board of county commissioners in answer to an abstract of the minutes of their last meeting of the board sent him by Mr. Boddie in which the executive was criticized for sending troops into Nash county at the trial last week of Lee Washington for an attack upon a woman.
