the name of Joe Desvergers ever appeared
In a criminal prosecution. and that it is
a grievous modification to the descend
ants of one Of the Oldest and most highly
respected colored families of Savannah to
see il on the record Of crime now, even
though the name is not the rightful name
of the convict
Our family is well known. My grand
father, the late Joseph Desvergers, and
my brother, Joseph Desvergers, are well
known to the people Of Savannah. The
former was always recognized as one of
the most respectable and prominent col
ored men of Savannah. He carried on the
tailoring business here for many years
and secured the patronage and enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of many of the
most prominent white people of the city.
The latter was during a long service the
faithful and trusted employee of the Hon.
J. J. McDonough. They both left the
name of Joseph Desvergers without a
stigma upon 1t.
The young man, Joseph Sanders, so
convicted was given, when a child, by
his father, one Joseph Filipe, and his
mother, TO the sister of the latter Re
becca Sanders, and by her and her hus-
band was adopted as their own child and
given their family name Of Sanders, and
was so brought up by them. He obtained
employment with Joseph NJ artinez and
has had his name on the pay roll for
over two years as Joseph Sanders. Re-
specially, William Il. Desvergers. g
