One of 3 people whose names were not reported
Three men who worked for a circus were held in the Duluth jail in Minnesota. On June 16, 1920, a mob stormed the jail, seized them, and hanged them in the public square, according to The Dallas Express, which reported the killings in October 1920. The article identifies the three only as circus employees and gives no names, and it does not say whether jail officers resisted the mob or handed over the keys.
