Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
According to a brief page-one report in the Highland Recorder from October 1913, a mob overpowered the jailer in Litchfield, took a Black man from his cell and hanged him. The paper's account says the jailer was overpowered rather than handing the man over, and the man's name is garbled in the archived text, so it is not recorded here. The report gives no further details about the man or his family.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
