Five Chinamen were arrested for his murder; however, even though most of the evidence pointed in their direction, it was circumstantial and never conclusively proved that they were the perpetrators.
I can understand using this word in a novel to convey the weight of historical racism faced by Chinese-Americans during this time in US history, but the author using it HERSELF to describe lynching victims is incredibly insensitive.
