Four Negroes Lynched in Kentucky After Jail Take
Four Black men were hanged at an old tree near Nashville after being taken from Logan county jail by a mob of about fifty men. They were Virgil Jones Tom Jones Robert Jones and Jon Riley. The lynching followed the murder of white man James Cunningham by Rufin Browder a discharged veteran. A mob seized the jailer and the men, firing a shot as they left. The sheriff’s order to protect prisoners failed as soldiers did not respond and Browder’s alleged allies planned retaliation. The incident underscores racial tensions and swift mob justice in the region.
