"There were rumors that Mary Thompson had died, but she survived the gunshot wounds and she was treated by Dr. Gaines, then placed in the Shepherdsville jail where she was treated by Dr. Bate.

When it was learned that Mary Thompson was still alive, another mob of several hundred white men formed and were unsuccessful in their attempt to take her from the Shepherdsville jail. Mary Thompson was taken to Louisville where she was placed in jail to await her trial. While in jail, she was treated by Dr. J. H. Fitzbutler and Dr. W. H. Pickett. Mary Thompson suffered from anxiety after there was talk of taking her back to Bullitt County to stand trial. In 1905, Mary Thompson was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to two years in prison." 2601:7C0:C000:5CF0:2BA9:ED66:3B90:4DED (talk) 03:36, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
