Ep. 140 - Mob Mentality: Mercer County, 1872

In 1872, a mob broke into the Mercer County jail and whisked away three men suspected of raping and killing 13-year-old Mary Arabelle Secaur. Two of the suspects were lynched, the third was spared. But a couple of years later, one of the mob's leaders made a deathbed confession that he had killed little Mary and led the hanging of two innocent men. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: "Runaway" by Cory Breth.
