Five people of Italian origin were held in the jail at Tallulah, Louisiana, when a mob took them out and hanged them, according to an account reprinted in The Van Buren Press on December 9, 1899. The report appears in the president's annual message to Congress, which cites it as the latest in a series of lynchings of Italian people. The passage gives no names for the five and no date for the killing.
