The lynching of Franck McManus, a drifter from Boston, on 28 April 1882, hung in Minneapolis for the rape of 4 year old Mina Spear. Arrested earlier in the day a huge crowd gathered at the county jail forcing entry and after confirming his identity hung him from an oak tree sat outside Minneapolis Central High School. McManus died of strangulation as he was hauled up rather than dropped. By 7.00 the next morning pieces of the rope were being sold as souvenirs. Photograph taken by a local photographer. This is of the only known lynching to have occurred in Minneapolis.
