In April 1904, in Norton, Kansas, millionaire landowner Chauncey Dewey and two of his employees, Clyde Wilson and Will McBride, were acquitted of having killed rival landowner Burchard Berry; indictments were still pending for the deaths of Berry's father Dan and brother Alphaeus. After Dewey's acquittal, angry townsfolk lynched the jury in effigy on the courthouse lawn; the effigies were cut down and photographed.
