On August 14, Mabel Hallam, the wife of a streetcar conductor claimed that she was raped by a black man. This report led to the arresting of two black men. The local Sheriff, fearing the safety of the prisoners transferred them to Bloomington, infuriating the white locals. This furious white mob invaded Springfield’s black neighborhood beat its residents and destroying its homes and businesses, eight blacks were dead, and seventy people, both black and white, were injured.
