Musgrove

Dorman Musgrove was one of two men held in the Glencoe jail in Minnesota when a masked mob broke in during the night of September 5, 1896, according to the Herald-Advance, citing the jailer's account. The jailer was tied to a chair, the cell locks were broken, and Musgrove was taken out and hanged from a bridge over Buffalo Creek. Papers differ on the number of men, about thirty to one hundred, and on the date, which some give as September 5 and others as September 6 or 8. The sheriff and coroner took down the bodies, which were taken to the city hall, and residents were reported to have criticized the mob's action. An inquest was planned.

Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody
