5 x 8" silver gelatin image on larger 6.75 x 10" mount, identified in manuscript hand on blank margins, and titled Hanged by a Mob August 26th, 1895. The four unfortunates were being held on various murder charges.

See?  California's justice system used to work.

If it wasn't for all of the Lib-Tards that moved here, the California justice system would still work...!

Wahmaker used some of that photo in their catalog back around 2001 or 2002.
