Jim Moore
Jim Moore was being held in the Macon, Georgia jail on August 13, 1886, when a crowd broke through several doors. According to The Memphis Appeal, the jailer and sheriff handed over the keys, and the crowd took him from his cell to a tree near Cherry Street and hanged him. The paper reported that the sheriff and jailer did not answer the crowd's call and that the governor was asked to send troops. The account is a newspaper report from the day after, and no other sources are cited for these details.

Reported by: Macon jail jailer and sheriff, who handed over the keys to the crowd (the agency that held him). The only account of how this person died comes from the agency that held him.
