In late May 1893, Samuel J. Bush, an African American from Mississippi, was travelling by foot through Central Illinois and was accused of rape and attempted rape by two White farm wives near the town of Mt. Zion. He was eventually found in Moultrie County and incarcerated in the Macon County Courthouse jail in Decatur on June 2[sup]nd[/sup]. At 1:45 a.m. on June 3[sup]rd[/sup], a mob of vigilantes from Mt. Zion stormed the jail and lynched Bush from a nearby telephone pole. Nathan Martin Baker was a minister in the Decatur Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and wrote a letter urging States Attorney Isaac R. Mills to prosecute members of the mob. Subsequently, he published an "Open Letter" in the [i]Decatur Daily Republican[/i] on July 3[sup]rd[/sup] (reprinted at least once more on July 9[sup]th[/sup]) decrying the mob's transgression of the law and the comcomitant insult to any possible justice in the case. Baker's column initiated a series of personal correspondence with readers both in support and opposed to the sentiments expressed therein. An account of the lynching and its aftermath is found in Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua's "'Join hand and hearts with law and order' : The 1893 Lynching of Samuel J. Bush and the Response of Decatur's African American Community" (Illinois Historical Journal, vol. 83, Autumn 1990, pp. 187-200).
