N. P. Norman
N. P. Norman was being driven by Deputy Sheriff Jordan from Ashdown toward the Texarkana jail in February 1922 when four masked men stopped the car near Spring Lake park, about a mile from the city. One newspaper account says the men took him at gunpoint while he was handcuffed and that the deputy was unarmed. His body was found on another road about five miles from Texarkana the next morning with gunshot wounds. A grand jury later indicted the deputy and another man in connection with his death.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. Four masked men stopped the deputy's car, took N. P. Norman at gunpoint and shot him, according to news accounts, and a grand jury later indicted the deputy and another man in connection with his death.
