Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A man, whose name is not legible in the surviving 1915 newspaper text, was reportedly taken from a jail by Yaquis and executed, according to a wire dispatch published in The Evening Herald in August 1915. The dispatch appeared under a headline about Yaquis executing Villa men, and the location and exact date cannot be reliably read in the garbled copy. The account suggests the jail did not prevent the taking, though whether the jailers resisted or handed him over is not clear from the text.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A wire dispatch in a 1915 newspaper says a man of the Villa army was taken from a jail and executed by Yaquis, with the jail unable to prevent it.
