After assaulting Miss Krause with a razor Martin was placed in a cell in the county jail. A mob of several hundred men formed outside the jail. The first intimation that Sheriff Cook had of the contemplated lynching was when two masked men appeared in the kitchen of the jail house and with guns leveled at him told him that there were 200 men waiting outside for the negro and that he would better not attempt to make any trouble for them.

In the meantime another masked man had entered. While the first two men held the sheriff the third man took the keys of the jail from the sheriff's pocket, and then the three started for the negro's cell. On the they met Dr. Miller, who had way been summoned to dress two wounds on Martin, self indicted with the same razor with which he had assaulted the girl and Turnkey Jones. The doctor and the turnkey were compelled to stand against the cage of the cells with their faces turned away from the mob.

The negro was then taken from his cell and hurriedly marched through the court house into the street. Arriving at a lamp post a short distance from the jail the negro was quickly strung up to the post. During the entire proceeding the did not speak or attempt to renegro sist the mob.
