Harry French

Harry French was one of three men held in the jail at Los Lunas, New Mexico, in March 1882. Newspaper accounts of the time said masked men took him from the jail and hanged him from a tree on March 8, 1882. Some accounts placed the killing at Los Tunoe or Santa Fe instead, so the location is disputed.

Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched

Reported by: Albuquerque dispatch (reporters).
