Miller

Miller, a Black man, was lynched near Cadiz, Kentucky, in August 1909. Accounts agree that a mob took him from officers who were conveying him to the jail at Cadiz and killed him during the night. The Associated Press reports date the death August 9 or August 10, and one headline places the seizure at the jail itself rather than on the road.
