Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
The Manitowoc Pilot reported in October 1881 that a second man was taken from a jail by a crowd and lynched, the same way as a first man. The paper gave no name for either man and no place or date for the killings. The item presented the lynching as justice carried out without a trial, a claim the source itself does not establish.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. The Manitowoc Pilot reports that a crowd took a second man from the jail and lynched him alongside the first.
Reported by: Manitowoc Pilot (reporters).
