Lynching of Chesterley Williams in Georgia
Chesterley Williams, the Black man who shot a farmer's wife near Rhine and assaulted her daughter, was dragged from McRae courthouse by a mob and fatally riddled. The raid followed a chase that led sheriff Wilcox to hide the prisoner in the county clerk's vault, a ruse that failed as the mob pursued him. The town returned to order, with victims not yet dead but one not expected to survive.
