Alec Condor
Alec Condor, a Native American man, was one of three men held in the Emmons County jail in North Dakota in November 1897. At about 2 a.m., a group of about forty masked men came to the jail and knocked, and Deputy Thomas Kelly, in charge at the time, opened the door, believing expected visitors had arrived. The men then crowded into the corridors, took Alec Condor and the two others from the jail, and lynched them.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob of about forty masked men took Alec Condor from the Emmons County jail in North Dakota and lynched him after deputy sheriff Thomas Kelly opened the door at about 2 a.m.
