Description
Edward
Webb
, an
African
American
farmer
and
possibly
a
veteran
of the
Civil
War
, was
convicted
of the
murder
of
William
S
.
Finney
, an
elderly
white
farmer
, in
1878
.
Although
he
maintained
his
innocence
until
his
death
,
Webb
was
hanged
for the
crime
. The
hanging
drew
crowds
in
Mansfield
that were
estimated
at
between
10,000
and
15,000
.
Afterwards
,
public
outcry
against
the
gruesome
show
led
to the
end
of
public
hangings
in
Mansfield
. This
collection
consists
of
six
items
: the
indictment
of
Edward
Webb
,
signed
by
Mayor
J.R
.
Richardson
,
which
is
8.3
"
x
13.4
"
(21
x
34
cm)
; the
arrest
warrant
for
Webb
,
8.3
"
x
13.4
"
(21
x
34
cm)
; the
subpoena
of
witnesses
,
including
twelve
year
old
Minnie
Finney
,
7.9
"
x
6.7
"
(20
x
17
cm)
; a
Mansfield
Herald
account
of the
trial
(scanned
from
microfilm)
; an
admission
ticket
to the
hanging
,
3.5
"
x
2.4
"
(9
x
6
cm)
; and a
Mansfield
Herald
account
of the
hanging
with the
headline
"
Edward
Webb
is
Hung
Before
a
Howling
Mob
of
Cut-throats
"
(also
scanned
from
microfilm)
. This
collection
is
significant
as a
record
of
race
relations
in
small-town
Ohio
in the
late-nineteenth
century
. In
addition
,
it
shows
the
character
of the
time
, in that
public
hangings
were a
spectacle
not to be
missed
.
