Lynching of John Evans

On Tuesday, November 12, 1914, John Evans, a black man, was lynched in St. Petersburg, Florida, by a mob of 1,500 white men, women and children. Evans was accused of the murder of Edward Sherman, a white real estate developer, and the attack of Sherman’s wife, Mary. After word of the attack spread, and Mary Sherman claimed her attackers were “two negroes,” a citywide search ensued.〔 Suspicions immediately led to John Evans. Two days after the murder, a posse consisting of some of the city’s most prominent and well-respected members stormed the St. Petersburg jail, threw a noose around Evan’s neck and marched him to his death.〔 He was never given a fair trial.〔 Evans was hung from a light post on the corner of Ninth Street North and Second Avenue. At first, Evans kept himself alive by wrapping his legs around the light pole. But then, an unidentified white woman in a nearby automobile ended his struggle with a single bullet. Though the shot was fatal, the rest of the crowd began shooting at Evan’s dangling body until their ammunition was depleted.〔
== Background ==

Between 1882 and 1968, 4,743 people were reported lynched in the United States and 3,446 were black. In 1914, the Tuskegee Institute reported that 51 of 55 lynching victims were black.〔 That same year the Crisis, a NAACP magazine reported that 69 of 74 victims were black. In Florida, mobs lynched five victims. They were all black.〔
An editorial in the November 10 issue of the St. Petersburg Independent, published hours before the crimes, spoke very optimistically of the city’s future. A new gas plant and garbage incinerator were almost finished, a new library was under construction, a second railroad was being built, and the existing Atlantic Coast Line Railroad was heavily promoting the city.〔 During this time, St. Petersburg promoted itself as the "cleanest, cheeriest, most comfortable little city in the south.〔"
