Dick Robinson and a Man Named Thompson
Pritchard Station, Alabama
October 6, 1906

After a first failed attempt to lynch Dick Robinson resulted in the death of Officer Roy Hole, the mob leaders decided to intercept a train transporting the two to prevent more bloodshed. The accused men were on a guarded railcar headed to Mobile when they were stripped from the sheriff and deputy and hung from nearby trees. The men were accused by the mob of assaulting a white woman.
