Decino
Decino was held in the new brick jail at Hahnville, the St. Charles parish seat, when a mob came for him in August 1896. According to a New Orleans news dispatch printed in The Bolivar Bulletin, about fifty armed people overpowered the night guard, broke down the jail doors, and took Decino and two other men to a stable. The dispatch says the three men were hanged there and that the crowd then shot the bodies. The lynchers were not recognized, and the dispatch says they may have come from St. Gabriel.
