Individual Details

Reuben Proctor, Warren County, November 12, 1877.— The lynching of Reuben Proctor was prevented on November 12, 1877, because of the strength of the jail at Indianola. The jail was stormed for several hours and finally the mob gave up and left, thinking they could not break open the door. If they had known it, only a little further effort would have made it successful as the door was almost ready to give way . when they ceased. Proctor had been confined for assault. Miss Augusta Cading, the victim, died a little later, and as he was on trial another mob succeeded in lynching him.
