Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
In December 1899, a newspaper reported that five people of Italian origin were taken from the jail in Tallulah, Louisiana, and hanged by a mob. The killings were presented as part of a series of similar mob killings of Italian people, and a national address on those lynchings called for federal action in response. The people held at the jail were taken by force, and the report names no one among them.
