Tragic Lynching of Joe Washington Near Savannah
A mob of about 400 executed Joe Washington, the accused rapist of Mrs. J J Clark, near a Seaboard railway eight miles south of Savannah. Clark identified him, the mob acted under leaders few in number, Washington was tied to a crowbar and burned after confessing to related crimes. The incident drew mixed reactions from local Black residents who largely approved of the punishment. Meanwhile in Texas a sheriff's deputy was killed during a chase of two highwaymen, and in San Francisco Walter N Dimmick's embezzlement bonds were set at 37,000 as he awaits arraignment.
