Lynching.
Between Okolona and Aberdeen, Mississippi, 18-year-old farmhand William Baker was putting a buggy into its shed when the six-year-old daughter of Constable Sidney Johnson got into it. Baker allegedly then took the girl to a shed where she started screaming. Her mother came running and grabbed hold of him. A white mob quickly gathered and hanged Baker. His body was discovered by Sheriff Lewis hanging from a Chinaberry tree. "The Chicago Whip" writes the lynching took place from Aberdeen, Mississippi.
