White, a man, was held in the Pueblo jail in Colorado, according to a report from the Denver News reprinted in the Chicago Daily Tribune of November 10, 1872. The paper says that during a Thursday night several unidentified people broke into the jail, bound and gagged the jailer, and took White from his cell. They hanged him from a telegraph pole about 200 yards from the courthouse, and the report says his body hung there until noon.
