So, are you trying to assert the ‘mob’ had only seven people in it? ... The five you listed and the two who died from Smith’s gun shots? Is there some other means by which we can know there were no MOmrons in the ‘mob’? Are you aware of whom it was who brought charges against Smith that got him incarcerated?
Actually, there were either three or four that were shot by Smith. There is no first hand evidence whatsoever that they died. The only evidence in history is that John Taylor was told that two had died. Four were indicted but were never arrested. Some witnesses said that there were upwards of two hundred in the attack. Some witnesses also said that the militia that was ordered by the governor to guard the jail joined the mob in the attack.
What we actually have is a prime example of the local law officials being on the side of the mob. This is a familiar situation to those of us from the deep south. Sad but familiar. The most amazing thing is that there were even indictments.
