Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
Three young men from the Seymour area, Indiana, were held in the Seymour jail in 1893 when a mob stormed the building at daylight. The mob took them about a mile and a half west of town and hanged them from a tree, which one account says stood in view of the railroad track. Their names do not appear in the accounts, and the newspapers give no other details of who they were.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
