Louis McAdams
Louis McAdams was in the custody of deputy sheriffs when, according to The Age-Herald, about one hundred masked men stopped their wagon about four miles from Wilsonville, disarmed the deputies and took him. The mob hanged him from the limb of a tree and fired dozens of shots into his body. The paper reported that a coroner held an inquest, but the verdict had not been announced when the article was written. No account in these sources describes the deputies resisting the mob, so whether they tried to protect him is not established.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob of about one hundred masked men stopped the deputies' wagon near Wilsonville, disarmed the deputies, took him and hanged him from a tree, according to The Age-Herald.
