Attemped Lynching of William Holland (1890)
A night or two ago a gang of fifteen masked men went to the house of William HOLLAND, at Latham’s Cross Roads, in Beaufort county, N.C., and took him from his house to a distant tree about one hundred and fifty yards distant. They put a rope around his neck, intending to lynch him. His mother and sister came upon the scene and interfered in his behalf, and were both badly hurt by ruffins. HOLLAND saw a man up a tree, and recognized him. Before the lynchers succeeded in accomplishing their purpose some one in the house fired a pistol, which frightened them away.
