One of seven men held in the Fort Mason, Texas, jail was, according to Capt. A. W. Barrett as quoted by a Washington Star reporter in The Morning News in 1893, taken by a mob that broke into the jail at night. The mob mounted the prisoners on horses and rode them to a tree about a mile and a quarter away, where they were hanged. Barrett said this man was among the five who died, and that the other two survived. The account places the events about two decades before 1893 and gives no exact date.
