Triplett

Triplett was held in the jail at Bozeman City, Montana, when a mob took him from it on the night of February 1, 1873, and hanged him, according to The Idaho World. The jail is the place where the state held him, and the mob's entry into it is the point where he was lost to custody. The paper's account does not say how the jailer or other officers responded to the mob, or whether they resisted or handed him over.
