Inman
Inman, a man whose age and other personal details are not recorded, was held in the Frankfort, Alabama, jail when, according to a Tuscumbia newspaper citing reliable authority, eight or ten disguised men came to the jail on June 9, 1869, and demanded the keys from jailer S. A. Jones. Jones first refused, was told the men would kill him, and then gave up the keys. The group took Inman and another man, Anderson, from the jail and drove them along the road toward Tuscumbia, where Inman was shot and killed. Anderson was shot three times and was reported to have little hope of recovery, and the men who did it were not identified.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A Tuscumbia, Alabama newspaper reported that disguised men took Inman from the Frankfort jail after the jailer surrendered the keys and shot him dead.
