Died in custody
Dave Walker
Dave Walker, a Black farm hand, was in the custody of the sheriff on the public square in Washington, Georgia, in October 1911, according to an Associated Press report. The report says a mob took him from the sheriff and lynched him. The sheriff's response is not described in the account I drew on, so it is left out here.
