Crime and mob actions in Forsyth and Stokes counties
A sensational 19th century article reports a brutal interracial assault on Mrs. Irwin by two Black men, followed by a lynching-era manhunt and jail break attempts in Wentworth, Kernersville, and Greensboro. It also covers Deputy Baker's fatal shooting by Jesse Smith in Stokes County, with widespread county-wide outrage and a large posse pursuit. The piece ends with garbled ad-like text and an extended piano and music house promotion from Ludden Bates and local merchants.
