MARSHAL DOUGLASS OLD MASTER DEAD-The
Baltimore Anaef'irdn this morning says:-Cap-
tain Thomas Aud so well known as once The
owner OF Hon. Frederick DouglaSS-Once an
Eastern Shore slave boy, now Marshal o. the
District OF Columbia and one of the finest pub
lie orators in the United States-died on Sunday
last at the residence of his son-in-law, John c.
Harper, ESQ.,, near 81. Michaels. Talbot county.
Captain Aud was SIS years OF age, and had been
almost helpless for a long time before he died.
He was at one time merchant In st. Michaelfs,
was member of the NJ. Z. Church, was a most
excellent man in all the relations OF life and was
kind and indulgent master, when he owned
slaves, freeing them all at the early age OF 81
years. In the year 1899, after young Douglass
ran away from his slave plantation, Captain
Aud received a letter from gentleman in Can
ada. asking if he would sell his freedom papers,
and Offering liberal sum OF money for them
He did not reply to the letter, saying that
Douglass would have been free In few years
had he not run away. and now that he has gone
he could stay. After the passage of the fugitive
slave law in 1850, he transferred his supposed
right ia Douglass to his brother, Mr.Hugh Aud
in Baltimore, who disposed OF it to Douglass
himself, who was thus relieved OF all apprehen-
sions OF arrest.
