Died in jail or a lockup
Garrett
Garrett was held in the Greensburg jail in Indiana when, in the early morning of 1882, a mob of about fifty masked men came to the building. According to the Bourbon News, they seized jailer Toothman when he opened the door and demanded the keys, which he refused to give up. The men forced their way to the cell where Garrett was held and dragged him down the stairs and into the hall. The mob then called for a rope.
