Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A Black man whose name is garbled in the surviving newspaper text was one of ten men a mob took from the jail where he was held, and the mob killed him in 1874. His body was later found in a river-bottom about a mile from town. The Knoxville Weekly Chronicle, reprinting a dispatch, lists him among those murdered by the mob.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A Knoxville Weekly Chronicle dispatch, reprinting a report, says a mob took him from a jail and killed him.
