I am looking for information on Hangings or Lynchings in OK. My uncle was hanged(possibly lynched in OK in the 20's or 30's). I'm told that his name was Summers Belton. I can't seem to find any info or history on this subject. If you can help me, my e-mail is jpsnow@intplsrv.net. Thanx

Nida Case Trial Begins in Tulsa

(By Associated Press State Wire)

TULSA, Sept.8 -

The preliminary trial of Raymond Sharp and
Marie Harmon, charged with complicity in
the murder of Homer Nida, taxicab driver,
for whose death Roy Belton was lynched here
a week ago Saturday was called in Justice
H.J. Gray's court this afternoon. The
prisoners were brought here from Chandler,
where they were taken from Sapulpa, after
being slipped out of the county jail here,
directly following the lynching of Belton.
Hundreds of women were in the court room.
