Tur ey nest encounter ends in brutal assault and mob justice
A New Hampshire county report recounts a black man raping a married white woman in a field, killing her, then being captured by a mob that castrated, hanged, and shot him. The crowd’s vigilante action followed a public outcry as details spread. The piece also notes an unrelated Lowell report about Edwin Moore, a Virginia slave who fled to Canada with his family.
