White man lynched after neighbor’s wife killed in Kentucky

The 21 year old white man faced murder charges in the death of Mrs. Wylie White, 80, mother of five. A bloodied club lay near the scene. Evidence suggested she resisted an assault, but Richardson denied and offered conflicting stories as the mob convinced himself of guilt.
