Mob Hangs Four Prisoners After Court Delayed
A mob in a southern town seized and hanged four men after a court postponed the murder trial of Hiram Jefferson and three others. The sheriff was powerless as citizens stormed the jail, forced entry, and hanged the men from a tree in the public square. The coroner returned a verdict consistent with the events as tension rose and at least one other prisoner remained confined.
