Triple lynching at Hassell Kansas shocks local readers
A mob of about 20 entered the J G Burton jail in Russenn Kansas between 1 and 2 am and hanged J G Burton William Gay and his son John Gay from a small railroad bridge. They were accused in the Dinning murder and were shot after the hangings. The inquiry found William Gay and John Gay as principals with Burton as an accessory. The crime stems from the Dinning killing and alleged gang activity. A separate report from Darspen notes the diet rejected universal suffrage 80 to 16.
