News Articles Seaborn Jones Hanged by the Ku Klux Klan
Seaborn Jones was hanged in Maury County, near Columbia, on Friday
night last, by the Ku Klux Klan. His offence was forcing a
step-daughter, fourteen years of age, to share his bed, and the murder
of his child, three months old. He absconded from Nashville a short
time since, when the first offense became known, taking the child with
him, and killing it in Maury County.
