Died in jail or a lockup
William Raguey
Wm. Raguey worked as a bartender at the Cosmopolitan Theatre. He was held in a jail when a crowd of citizens took him out and hanged him on July 26, 1883, according to The Portland Daily Press, which published the account the next day. The paper's dateline is garbled, so the location of the jail cannot be confirmed from the dispatch.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
