The Negro’s Escape After Mob Attack in County Jail
A mob dragged a Black man from the county jail, tied a rope around his neck, and hoisted him in a failed lynching attempt. He survived the drop due to strong muscles and a fortuitous rope snag, while deputies guard the jail yard to prevent renewed violence. Frankslin is taken to county jail for trial amid continuing unrest and a second assault earlier left Paulk injured but non life threatening.

A Pittsburg Post rebuts the claim that David Rice Atchison acted as president on March 4 1849 noting the 1703 succession law and the 1886 change.
