John D. and Charles Ruggles
Redding, California
July 24, 1892
Before the conclusion of a trial in Redding, California for allegedly robbing
a stagecoach, killing one and wounding two others, a masked mob of forty men
took the prisoners from their cells. Utilizing a crossbeam from a
lumber pile and bracing it across two trees, the men were hung side by
side. A photo was taken just before the bodies were cut down by the
coroner.
