Title
Lynching in Turner County
Description
Waycross Evening Herald dated Saturday, April 16, 1910. The headline reads and the article details the lynching of two African American men, Albert Royal and Charley Jackson, near Amboy, Georgia. The article explains that the trouble started from an incident involving Charley Jackson, who was previously arrested and released on bail. The two men were killed by a mob, and the local community was greatly excited over the matter. Where this article differs from the others is that it says that the victims (allegedly) boasted "with pride to their fellows" about the "criminal assault on a white woman." This boasting came to the attention of the 5 men and they decided to murder them.
