Died in custody
Name not reported
A Black man held by a deputy near Vicksburg, Mississippi, was taken from the deputy by a group of masked men in March 1905 and strung up, according to a brief report in The Taney County Republican. The paper does not give his name. The record includes no account of how the seizure happened, leaving aside the deputy's role, so it is not clear whether he resisted or handed the man over.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
