Zallie C. Cadle
Zallie C. Cadle was held in the city jail at Brinkley, Arkansas, after a confrontation with a policeman on Saturday evening, November 7, 1903. Early on Sunday, November 8, a mob of five to ten men forced open the jail's outer door, broke his cell lock and took him out, according to the Mexico Missouri Message. The Message reports that he ran about 600 feet before he was overtaken and shot, and that the men then hanged his body from a telegraph pole near the jail. The Jackson Herald reports that he was shot inside the jail, and a coroner's jury, led by Coroner W. W. Chinault, found he died of gunshot wounds inflicted by persons unknown and was afterward hanged.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
Reported by: coroner's jury (medical examiner or coroner).
