Clark

Clark was held in the jail at Monroe, Louisiana, in 1884, along with other men. According to Telegrams, a mob took Clark from the jail and hanged him a few nights before the notice was printed. The Bossier Banner reported that Clark was one of three men the crowd took from the jail and hanged on trees outside the old sheriff's office. Deputy Sheriff Brooks testified at the coroner's inquest that masked men woke him in the early morning and he surrendered the jail keys to them.

Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody
