NYPL catalog ID (B-number): b17539717 Note: "A crowd of rioters in Clarkson Street ... met an inoffensive colored man returning from a bakery with a loaf of bread under his arm. They instantly set upon and beat him, and after nearly killing him, hung him to a lamp-post. His body was left suspended for several hours.
