Lynch Law

[Marshall] Texas Republican, August 11, 1860

It is reported that a horse thief was arrested a few days ago, in this county, and hung. One report states that he was hung at the cross roads 9 or 10 miles from Marshall, which we think unfounded, and another rumor is to the effect that he was executed upon the same limb in Caddo parish upon which Robinson was hung last week.
