One of three Italian nationals was taken from the jail in Halinville, Louisiana, by a mob and killed, about a year before a newspaper report published in August 1897. They were among the three men whose killings were later the subject of a payment. The United States government paid an indemnity to Italy's charge in Washington, Count Vinci, over the killings.
