Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
In April 1906, a mob took this man from the Springfield jail and hanged him on the public square, along with two other men taken from the same jail. He is not named in the available account, and nothing is recorded about who he was. The account comes from testimony given at a later hearing about the mob, and it does not say whether jail staff resisted the mob or handed the men over.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
