Stroudsburg Lynching Verdict Brings No Clear Evidence
The coroner's jury concluded William Puryear died at the hands of unknown parties after a lynching. They censured the sheriff and county commissioners for jail escape failures and criticized authorities for lax oversight. The body was prepared for burial but kept by law for 24 hours before potential transfer to state authorities.
