WHITES HELD AS PEoEs.
A Startling STATE Of Affairs Said TO Exise
I'm Number Of Counties In
Alabama.

Troy, Ala, Sept 1.-The evidence
in the case of the United States against
Marion Priesthood, wealthy planter
and turpentine operator, which was
heard before Federal Commissioner
Tutwiler, shows that poor whites as
well as negroes are being held IN
slavery in Alabama. Prestwood was
charged with holding Robert English.
a white man, and his family OF ten
children in peonage. The evidence
showed that Priesthood made q con-
tract with English in 1902 BY which
the former was to furnish the Englisn
family with rations in consideration
Of the latter working 60 acres ON
shares. When the crop was made
Priesthood ceased to furnish rations
and seized the crop.
When the English family tried to Sc
cure work to save themselves from
starving Prestwood had the old man
and six boys arrested, accusing them
of burning turpentine boxes valued at
SAG. This charge, Priesthood admitted
to Commissioner Tutwiler, was ground
less. After the arrest Priesthood told
the men that as he controlled the mag
istrate he could send them to the peni-
tertiary, but he said that If the family
would sign contract to work for him
until 1905, to repay the $46, he would
furnish them what they had to eat.
The father and his sons being fright
ened signed the contract, and have
since been at work for Prestwood.
The EnglIshs swore that they never
had enough to eat and their looks
sustained the statement They were
sallow-faced. hollow-eyed and their
Ilips as white as their shirts. Prest-
wood was placed under heavy bond.
He is worth 100000.
Federal otiicers say that poor whites
are being held as poems in q number
