I read a late 1800's newspaper article from Northern KY years ago in which an alleged rapist was snatched by the husband's family as he was being transported by authorities from one jail to another (awaiting trial). The family tied him to a tree, sliced him multiple times with knives, gouged out his eyeballs, poured cayenne pepper into the sockets and finally untied the accused to hang him by the neck from a branch.
