Biography: 

The novel does not narrate Rider's lynching. After his body is found "hanging from the bell-rope in a negro schoolhouse," the coroner officially says he was killed "at the hands of a person or persons unknown" (147). The deputy's narration, however, strongly implies that the lynchers are members of the Birdsong clan.

Note: 
I am assuming that the members of the lynching party are male because I don't know of any instances of women participating in the hunting or capture of victims--TMT
