Fuen
Fuen, a Latino man, was held in the San Bernardino County jail in 1902. In a reminiscence by John H. Lightfoot published in the Las Vegas Age in 1940, a mob gathered at the jail in the afternoon and grew through the night. Lightfoot says the crowd broke the jail door open with a steel girder, and that the deputy on duty, who had refused to hand over the keys, opened the cell door when resistance seemed useless. The mob took Fuen to a bridge and hanged him.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. John H. Lightfoot, in a reminiscence published in the Las Vegas Age, says a mob broke open the San Bernardino County jail and hanged Fuen from a bridge after the deputy on duty opened the cell door.
