Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
This person, one of ten Black people taken from a jail by several hundred Ku Klux Klan members, was killed by the mob. The congressional committee investigating Klan outrages in South Carolina looked into the killings, according to the Fremont Weekly Journal's account of 1871. The article gives no name, age, date or place for this person, so nothing more about who they were can be established from it.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
Reported by: Congressional committee investigating Ku Klux outrages (outside investigators).
