Who was  U. F Linder? Instigator of Lovejoy's death?

  U. F. Linder, a lawyer, and the then Attorney-General of the State, and 
John Hogan, a Methodist minister, were the most active and acknowledged 
leaders of those who were bent on obstructing the work of forming a State 
Anti-Slavery Society, for which the call had been issued. The meeting, 
however, came to its end somehow, but whether by adjournment or by all 
leaving the room, I do not now recollect. The next day, however, the 
friends of the call met at the home of Rev. T. B. Hurlburt, in Upper Alton, 
and about sixty names were recorded as organizing the State Anti-Slavery 
Society of Illinois, and elected their officers.

The following Sabbath, October 29th, the Rely. Edward Beecher, then 
president of Jacksonville College, preached one sermon in Lower Alton and 
one in Upper Alton, with great plainness of speech, on the subject of 
slavery; and on the Monday following, October 30th, several members of the 
late convention and many of the principal citizens of Alton met in the 
store of Alexander & Co., to consult on the expediency of establishing the 
press again in Alton, and if established, of defending it. After much 
deliberation, it was advised that Mr. Lovejoy go on and re-establish the 
press, and that it was the duty of friends of free discussion to stand to 
the last in his defence.

At a subsequent meeting held in the Riley building, the same day, but more 
publicly called than the former one, the same U. F. Linder and Rev. John 
Hogan were the prominent leaders of the opposition to Lovejoy--the minister 
Hogan especially, who said to Lovejoy that St. Paul when persecuted in one 
city fled to another, and that he (Lovejoy) should, as a Christian, follow 
Paul's example and flee from Alton. At this meeting also, U. F. Linder, 
Attorney-General, made a speech full of bitter denunciation of Lovejoy and 
of all Abolitionists, ministers of the Gospel, etc. All aimed to stir up 
the mob spirit and to intimidate and drive Lovejoy from the city. After he 
had concluded his effort, Mr. Lovejoy obtained the floor. He went to the 
desk in front of the audience, laid aside his overcoat, and in the most 
calm and deliberate manner addressed the meeting. He repelled the several 
charges and insinuations that had been made by the principal speakers, 
Linder and Hogan, saying that it was not true that he held in contempt the 
feelings and sentiments of this community in reference to the great 
question that was agitating it. He respected and appreciated the feelings 
of his fellow-citizens, and it was one of the most unpleasant and painful 
duties of his life, that he was called upon to differ from them. If they 
supposed he had published sentiments contrary to those generally held in 
this community, because he delighted in differing from them or in 
occasioning a disturbance,
