Joseph Richardson A postcard was peddled door to door of this horrific scene in Litchfield, Kentucky. Richardson was removed from the town jail at 12:00 am and lynched on the public square. His alleged crime was an assault on an eleven-year-old girl (white) named Ree Goff. The victim was recognized as the town drunk who had "merely stumbled into the child and not even torn her dress."
