Kansas Lynching of J C Keller after Keller murder spree
A Kansas lynching narrative details J C Keller, a German murderer, hanged at La Cygne after a sensational spree that included four killings and two earlier wives. The crowd seized Sheriff Croxton, then conducted an extra legal hanging under Judge Lynch as 1,200 to 1,500 locals witnessed the event. Keller allegedly confessed little, and the Boyd family killings are described in lurid, non-graphic tone.
