Lige Daniels A postcard photo shows the victim hanging above a crowd with young boys and men smiling in the foreground. People are also seen viewing the event from second floor windows. The back of the postcard remarks: "This was made in the courtyard in Center, Texas. He killed Earl's Grandma. She was Florence's mother. Give this to Bud, From Aunt Myrtle." The Seventh Calvary was wired to protect the defendant from mob violence. The Captain's excuse for failing was: "The inability to find any members of his company in time for mobilization." The jail was battered in by a crowd of one -thousand men who then chose an oak tree on the courthouse site to lynch Lige Daniels.
