Not the first time details emerge on Draper lynching
Details of the Bramwell tunnel killing of Harry Draper and the mob lynching follow earlier Telegraph reports. The mob, led from Coopers direction, shot Draper as they dragged him along the tracks toward a bridge, leaving his body near the railroad and later carrying it to the mayor's office. Bailey gave little motive beyond intent to go through the tunnel, and the coroner’s jury later filed its verdict.
