Death of Jose Castro
On the night of April 22, 1872, some 300 yards from the Castro-Breen Adobe Jose Castro was hung. Two masked men, along with 6-7 armed men, took Jose Castro, estimated at 35 years of age and hung him from a "large willow tree" some 300 yards from the Breen House. He was reported as "very heavy."
