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. 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)
