     BIOGRAPHY: Francis M Garriott (Sr) was Washington County Treasurer. The following story is true, that Laura Terrell was married to Francis M Garriott, Jr in Washington County, Indiana. The small unnumbered Marriage Book in the Scott Co, IN courthouse lists his parents as FM Garriott and Amanda Hawkins (if I read it right) and her parents as Thad Terrell and ___ Harris.

     1897 SCOTTSBURG LYNCHING CASE: 44 Laura Terrell, a native of Washington County, IN, and widow of Francis M Garriott Jr, met Marion Tyler, son of John W Tyler of Martin's Store in Hamilton County, Illinois when Tyler moved to Scott County, Indiana in 1896. Tyler was employed in logging, but soon moved to Indianapolis where that spring he met up with Laura again. They were married that fall. Two years later, in the summer of 1898, Laura left her husband and returned to her family in Scottsburg. She feared for her life as he threatened to torture and kill her and had forced on her isolation from her family and friends."
     Tyler, attempting reconciliation several times that fall, returned to Scottsburg from Indianapolis by rail on 3 Nov 1898 feeling, "He treated his wife the best he knew how and there was no jealousy on his part." 44
     Soon thereafter, Tyler shot his wife with a 32-calibre revolver twice-- in the left cheek where it ranged backward lodging near the butt of the ear, and in the left shoulder. Both wounds were thought not to be fatal. He also shot himself twice-- once near the center of the lower jaw, which ranged upward and came out near the temple, and in the abdomen, lodging just under the skin at the hipbone. Tyler carried a suicide note from Indianapolis, but it did not imply injury to "the perfect lady" he loved with all his heart." 44
     On Christmas eve 1898, between 1 and 2 am, Tyler was taken by a mob from the county jail to a tree in the court house yard. He was placed on an old door held up while a rope was being tightly fastened over a convenient limb of a shade tree. When the door was allowed to fall, Tyler fell to his death from strangulation with his feet about 18 inches from the ground. One of the mob was heard to say, "I'll bet the Devil thinks he's getting a fine Christmas present tonight." 44
     A special grand jury was impaneled in January with John W Montgomery, foreman, assisted by Asbury Thompson, Jas MC Richey, IA Bridgewater, SR Smith, and Wm P Shea. They interviewed 109 witnesses; no indictments were made. Andrew L Blackall, county coroner, heard evidence from 31 witnesses, and reported that death was by hanging by persons unknown." 44
     The Chronicle newspaper reported 29 Dec 1897 [?] "It was thought that the mob was composed of between 75-100 persons who were well drilled in the parts they were to take in the lynching. This is proven by the quiet manner and quickness in which their deed was executed. That the citizens were not aroused before the work was completed seem strange and next to impossible, yet it was so. That such premeditated and carefully planned outrage upon the law and community could be carried out so successfully without the officers and law-abiding citizens having an intimation of what was going to occur seems more strange." 44
     In Marion Tyler's father's suit against Sheriff James Gobin in Indianapolis Federal Court (charging failure to protect his prisoner) the jury found in favor of the plaintiff assessing damages of $5. Court costs of $920 were shared by both parties." 44
     Dr Bogardus later said, "The majority of the people of Scottsburg appear to firmly believe the mob originated outside the borders of Scott County and that its members were mostly all strangers in this community." 44 It was later proved the rope used had been purchased at a store in Crothersville.
