Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A mob took eight men from the jail at Watkinsville, Georgia, in June 1905, and seven of them were lynched, according to a year-in-review published in The Times Dispatch in January 1906. The account gives no name, age, or other details about the man in this record, so he is known only as one of those killed. The newspaper does not say how the mob got into the jail or whether the jailers resisted or handed over the keys.
