Luther Holbert and his wife Doddsville Recorded by the Anti-Lynching Crusaders Luther Holbert and his wife were burned at the stake in 1918 for the murder of a white planter... The planter was killed in a quarrel when he ordered Holbert to leave his plantation. (After the murder) Holbert and his wife fled the plantation but were brought back and burned in the presence of a thousand people. There is nothing to indicate that Holbert's wife had any part in the crime.
