Graham White
Graham White, a Black man, was one of six men held in custody after an arrest and being taken in a wagon toward Millington, chained together with the others. Accounts say a mob of armed men, put at about fifteen in one paper and about fifty in another, stopped the wagon on the road near Millington around midnight on August 31, 1894, and shot the six prisoners. Deputy Sheriff Richardson is named as the officer escorting the party, and the papers do not say whether he or the guards resisted or gave up the men. An inquest jury found the men died at the hands of persons unknown, and the Pine Bluff Daily Graphic reported that an investigation was promised.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. An inquest jury found that a mob of armed men killed him while he was being taken by Deputy Sheriff Richardson to Millington for a preliminary hearing.
Reported by: inquest jury.
