I’ll finish it for you. After he’s found guilty, he’s taken to the nearest tree and hanged. And his body is left hanging as a warning to others.
RE: hanged as a warning to others....
The Bob Dylan song Desolation Row begins “They’re sellilng postcards of the hangings....”
This refers to this native state of Minnesota’s selling of postcards of the June 15, 1920 Duluth hanging of three black men.
One man is facing the camera and pointing to the three.
The post cards were commonly sold in stores as souvenirs of Duluth. The Minnesota Historical Society has them on display today.
Note: The three black men lynched turned out to have been innocent.
