"John Heath-Taken from County jail & lynched
by Bisbee Mob in Tombstone Feb. 22, 1884"

Six men including Heath killed three men and one pregnant woman while robbing a store in
Bisbee, Arizona. The five men were sentenced to be hanged, but Heath was sentenced to
life in prison because he didn't do the actual shooting, but he did plan the robbery. Men from
Bisbee were so enraged at the verdict that they took Heath from Tombstone's custody and hung
him on a pole just down the street from the courthouse.

Standing in front of the courthouse,
the red arrow points to the spot where Heath was hanged.
