A Black man was taken from the jail in Millen, Georgia, and lynched on April 13, 1919, according to a Grants Pass Daily Courier dispatch published the next day. The dispatch links the killing to a race clash near Millen the day before, which it said had left seven people dead. The mob's action against him is the only event the account describes at the jail.
