Amos Miller
Amos Miller was a 23-year-old African-American man who was lynched from the balcony of the Williamson County Courthouse in Franklin, Tennessee, on August 10, 1888.
Miller was a 23-year-old farmhand who was accused of raping Mrs. Scott, a 50-year-old white woman on June 9 or June 10, 1888. He was arrested on June 16, while allegedly trying to steal a hat from a private residence. Miller reportedly confessed to the sexual assault, and was jailed in Columbia. The authorities twice transferred him to other locations in reaction to lynching threats. On August 9, one day before Miller's trial, a mob came from Maury County to Franklin. During the trial, a mob of 40 men entered the courthouse and, with other men who were already in the building, forced Miller out of the room. The men proceeded to hang Miller from the railings of the courthouse balcony at about 10 am.
