Died in jail or a lockup
Z. C. Cadlo
Z. C. Cadle was held in the calaboose at Brinkley, Arkansas, in early November 1903, according to The Rice Belt Journal. The paper reports that a mob of ten or fifteen people broke into the calaboose, took him out, shot him four times and hanged him from a telegraph pole. A coroner's jury found that he died from lynching by parties unknown. The Anderson Intelligencer later briefly reported that a white man was taken from the Brinkley jail and lynched.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. The coroner's jury found he died from lynching by parties unknown, and the article does not say whether the jailer resisted the mob.
Reported by: coroner's jury (medical examiner or coroner).
