Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
Five people of Italian origin were held in the jail at Tallulah, Louisiana, in 1899, and a mob took them from it and hanged them. State authorities and a representative of the Italian Embassy each investigated the killings and reached conflicting results, particularly on whether the five were Italian citizens. A federal inquiry into the deaths was still under way when the report was published.
