Name not reported

A man held in a county jail in New Mexico in May 1893 was taken from the jail by masked men and hanged from a cottonwood tree. The account gives his name only as an unreadable word in the surviving newspaper text, so nothing else about him can be confirmed. The newspaper reported no clue to who the lynchers were.

Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched

Reported by: news reports.
