Five Italian men were taken from the jail at Tallulah, Louisiana, by a mob and hanged, according to a December 1899 report in The Age-Herald. The state authorities and an Italian government representative investigated the killings and reached differing findings, particularly over whether the victims were Italian citizens. As of that report, the state had not identified or punished anyone responsible, and a federal investigation was still under way.
