Marshall Edward
Marshall Edward and his brother James Stineback were held in the jail at Tiptonville, Tennessee, in November 1908. According to an Associated Press dispatch printed in the Milford Chronicle, a mob gathered at the jail and seized the two men in the courtroom, where a justice had agreed to a hurried proceeding. The report says the sheriff went with another man to the justice to arrange that proceeding, and that prominent citizens urged the mob to let the law act. The mob then hanged both men from a tree near the edge of town, and the report says the governor's militia arrived too late to stop it.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. The Associated Press dispatch, as printed in the Milford Chronicle, says a mob seized him in the courtroom of the Tiptonville jail and hanged him from a tree near town.
