Paramount News Special: Hart Killer Lynchings
This grim Paramount News special captures the lynching of the accused “Hart Kidnap-Killers” in San Jose, California, an act of mob violence that sparked unrest across two states. The lynching, controversially condoned by California Governor James Rolph, reflects the heightened emotions and mob justice sentiment of the period.
