Here's a little history to go with the lynching of Lashenais:
Photograph of a crowd at the lynching of Lashenais (sp?) on the corner of Temple Street and New High (Justica) Street, Los Angeles, 1870. A crowd of people gathers around the gate to the lumber yard. Lashenais, who was lynched for killing Jacob Bell, hangs from the archway. Many people towards the outside of the crowd simply sit, inactive. Tents and other spectators can be seen on the hill in the background. The image also shows Pound Cake Hill, which would later become the site of the Court House and then the Criminal Courts Building.SBCO Fire Dept. CERT volunteer
