Mack Baldwin
Mack Baldwin, a Black man, was one of five men held by guards at St. Charles, Arkansas, during racial unrest in the area in March 1904. A special dispatch to the Arkansas Gazette, reprinted in the Montgomery Advertiser, reported that a crowd took the five men from the guards and shot them to death. The Times-Journal and the Scranton Chronicle dated the killings to the night of March 24, 1904, and the Scranton Chronicle said the unrest had left several people dead. The accounts name no one in the crowd and say nothing about whether the guards resisted or handed the men over.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. According to the Arkansas Gazette, a crowd took Baldwin and four other men from the guards at St. Charles and shot them to death.
