Tampa, at the corner of Howard Avenue and present day Kennedy Boulevard, two Italian cigar workers were lynched during the cigar workers strike of 1910.
Angelano Albano, 25, and Castrone Figarretta, 45, were arrested for the shooting a week earlier of a cigar factory's bookkeeper and were being transported to the jail when three car loads of men seized the prisoners. They were hung and shot. The authorities left the bodies there until the next morning. The lynch mob left a note pinned to the trousers of one victim saying "take note or go the same way".
