Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson, Isaac McGhie A mob of five-thousand people dragged six circus workers from a cell for alleged assault of a white girl at the circus grounds in Duluth Minnesota. A hastily thrown together trial found three of the defendants "not guilty". The others were hanged. A later investigation by civil authorities found that none of the hanged could have been involved.
