Died in jail or a lockup
Jones
A Black man named Jones, identified in the Alexandria Gazette as "Judge" Jones, was held at the jail near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. On March 25, 1910, a mob of about 40 men gathered at the jail, overpowered the jailer and his deputies, and hanged him. The account says the jailer and deputies were overpowered, but the article's wording on whether they resisted or handed him over is not the basis for any further claim here.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
