Name not reported
A letter printed in the Kentucky Gazette in August 1812 reports that a mob broke into the Baltimore jail in July that year and killed several people held there, including this man. The letter says the men had given themselves up to civil authority before the mob attacked. His name is illegible in the copy of the letter the record draws on. The letter does not say whether the jail's keepers resisted or handed anyone over.
