A Black man held in a jail was taken from it by a mob on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 6, 1892, and killed, according to The State Chronicle, which reported it on April 10, 1892. The newspaper text is badly garbled, so his name, the town and the state cannot be read with confidence. The jail's role in the mob's entry is not described.
