Lynching at Golden: McCurdy slain by mob after prison break
Alexander McCurdy of Golden was lynched from a bridge over Clear Creek by a masked group after a jail break. Two guards, John Richweine and John Koch, aided the mob and were jailed, later revealing names of others. A coroner’s inquest led to warrants for the participants. The event followed McCurdy’s earlier conviction for mayhem against his stepbrother Arthur Berry.
