Age?

Does anyone have the ages/dates of birth of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.69.86 (talk) 10:12, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Shipp was 19 and Smith was 18, according to a story on the BBC Newshour programme, January 4, 2015 ([1]). The BBC story doesn't question the idea that the three were the ones who had held up Claude Deeter and Mary Ball at gunpoint. I wonder how strong the evidence was when Cameron was convicted.

Prosecutions?

In Beitler's famous photograph of the incident, at least a dozen faces in the lynch mob are clearly visible. Were any of these people ever identified and prosecuted? Shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 21:09, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

You mean like it was done in the case of the Sharpeville Six? --41.146.43.7 (talk) 01:02, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
