Name not reported
A Black man, one of three brothers held in a jail near Southport outside New Orleans in September 1893, was taken from the jail by a mob of about twenty-five men, according to a news dispatch from New Orleans. The dispatch says the mob unlocked the jail, took two of the brothers to a pasture and hanged them, and that the third man was also hanged. The brothers had been held after relatives were detained while a manhunt went on for a fugitive brother. The names in the article are garbled, so the men are not named here.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A news dispatch from New Orleans says a mob of about twenty-five men unlocked the jail and hanged the men, with the jail's staff not described as resisting.
