Mayfield lynching amid militia guard in Georgia incident
Mayfield Kentucky reports allege Allen Mathis, a 22 year old Black man, was hanged by legal process after being accused of assaulting Miss Ethel McClain. A mob gathered with about ten thousand people, while Hopkinsville militia guarded the scene to prevent extralegal action during the swift 50 minute trial and execution. In Atlanta, Floyd Carmichael, identified by Miss Anna Poole, was shot by a posse in sight of his 15 year old victim after a daytime attack. In Missouri, Arch Ratsome, a Black man accused of assault in Valley Mines, is pursued by posses across Jefferson, St Francois, and St Genevieve counties as sheriff heads to the scene.
