Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
In March 1891, a mob took one of eleven men from the Parish Jail in New Orleans and hanged him, according to a newspaper account published shortly after. The paper reports that the crowd gathered in an organized way and dispersed once its committee had finished at the prison. The men were described in the paper as Italians, but the name of the man killed is not legible in the surviving text, and no other details about him are available from this source.
