David Alexander was a black man killed by a lynch-mob on April 5, 1909[1], after he allegedly confessed to killing a policeman. Unlike the lynching of Leander Shaw the previous summer, this lynching apparently had little popular support and was in fact sharply denounced by some citizens, including the Rabbi Schwartz of Temple Beth-El.[2]
