Jennie Steers

Jennie Steers was charged with giving a poisoned glass of lemonade to a 16-year-old white teenager Elizabeth Dolan on July 26, 1903.

Before Steers was killed, a mob carried her to a tree, placed a rope around her neck and demanded a confession—which they didn’t get. 

They hanged her and while her body still suspends in the air, bystanders shot several bullets into her.
