Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A man held in the jail at London, Kentucky, was taken from the jail by a mob and hanged, according to The Mt. Sterling Advocate, which reported it in an October 1905 editorial. The paper's account does not give his name, and the text is too garbled to confirm one. The editorial does not say whether jail officers resisted the mob or handed the man over.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
