Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A man held in a Kentucky jail was taken by a mob on the same night as three other men held there, and hanged, according to a Chicago Daily Tribune report from May 1879. His name is unreadable in the scanned text of the article, so he is recorded without one. The mob's entry into the jail is not described in the account.
