Details
Albert Easley was an African-American boy of 13–14 years who was lynched in Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama, on January 20, 1879 after being arrested as a suspect in the assault and rape of Mrs. Moses Ables of nearby Cove Creek, Etowah County, Alabama. Mrs. Ables, a widowed mother of three, was found unconscious but alive three days earlier with severe head injuries and indications that she had been raped. No eyewitnesses were reported and it is not clear why suspicion rested immediately upon Easley. Accounts emphasize that he confessed, though one account claims he admitted only the beating and denied the rape. He was arrested and taken to the jail in Jacksonville about 14 miles from where the crime occurred. At 1pm a mob of between one hundred and fifty and three hundred persons took Easley from the jail by force and lynched him within the city limits during the daytime. Mrs. Ables died five weeks after the lynching took place.
