Alabama

A roundup in the Martinsburg Herald of February 20, 1892 reports that several people held under guard in Alabama were taken by a mob and lynched. The item gives no names, ages, county, or facility for any of them, so the individual people cannot be identified from it. The killings are reported as happening while the people were in custody, and the source gives no account from officials of how the mob reached them or whether guards resisted.
