Very interesting.  Thanks for sharing. 

I do not mean to hijack your thread, but on an interesting note my great-great grandfather was sheriff in Floyd County, Iowa (in the town of Charles, City), where the last "legal" lynching in the State of Iowa occurred.  Below is an excerpts of from an historical account:

...
  It was Iowa’s last lynching. On January 9, 1907, a mob of several hundred men, some masked with handkerchiefs and others undisguised, rammed down the doors of the Floyd County Jail in Charles City, Iowa, with a rail iron. Sheriff Charles Gray and several deputies offered only feeble resistance as the mob seized the prisoner, James Cullen. After Cullen had been so procured, a crowd of at least 500 residents of Charles City, including women and children, witnessed Cullen’s hanging from the local Main Street Bridge by 11:30 p.m.  ...

  Mr. Cullen was atypical for a lynching victim. A wealthy, white, sixty-two-year-old contractor, he’d murdered his wife and Roy Eastman, his fifteen-year-old stepson -- the previous day. An outraged mob, its actions largely orchestrated by young men perhaps acquainted with the ill-fated Eastman, took their unlawful revenge in a Midwest town oft-noted for progressive Republican “reformist” political sentiments. In a macabre coincidence, another man named James Cullen had been lynched to death decades previously in rural Maine.
