Died in jail or a lockup
J. H. Capp
J. H. Capp was held in the jail at Fort Fetterman, Wyoming Territory. The Fremont County Record reported in October 1882 that cowboys took him from the jail and lynched him. He was a man, and the paper's account is the only source for his death.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A brief Fremont County Record report says cowboys took Capp from the Fort Fetterman jail and lynched him; the article gives no details of how the mob got in or what jailers did.
