DID NEGROES OWN SLAVES?
montgomery Advertiser.


No doubt the following which is
contributed to the Columbus En-
quiTer-Sun by Mr.. ]. J. Wood, will be
new to many of our readers:
Il knew a free negro man by the
name of Bob Parker that owned and
worked negroes. This negro lived in
what was known as the Northern
Liberties. He owned and lived on
the premises east of the lot where
the Offices of the City Mills are now
located and there is a two-story
house on this Negroes lot lately occu-
pied by Mr.. Anthony Clegg. Bob ran
a dray line here, owning his hands
and drays. He also owned negro
women and children.
"A negro woman by the name of
Dilsey Pope, who owned q house and
lot on what is now known as First
avenue and Sixteenth street, lust in
the rear of the residence of the late
Colonel A. C. McGehee, owned her
husband and hired him out. remem-
Der her husband offended her in
some way and she sold him to the
fate Colonel SeabOrn Jones.
Joe Clark, a negro barber, owned
and worked negroes that he bought"
We have little doubt that some of
the readers of the Advertiser had
personal knowledge of similar cases.
The woman above mentioned who
owned her husband, not as many
women now own that member of the
family, but as an absolute chattel,
was an unusual example, we admit.
hut We doubt if she was without imi-
tators. Being q free woman she was
within her legal rights when she
owned her husband. If he was
slave and she a free woman she had
a perfect right to buy him and hold
him in slavery, and to sell him, il
she saw proper She also had the
right TO whip him and he would not
have the night to resist. Whether
she ever reSOned to this provocative
Of the slave owner the writer does
not say, but probably she contented
herself with selling him. There were
many things connected with slavery
days that would be new to the present
generation, and free negroes owning
their own kind was not unheard of.

Joe Stanley and w. c. Smith
Arrested For Murder of
Alderman Family.
WHICH OCCURRED IN SANTA
ROSA COUNTY MAY "a, 1906,
AND WHICH WAS ONE OF THE
MOST ATRocIous CRIMES EVER
COMMITTED IN THE STATE OF
FLORIDA.

Two white men, Joe Stanley
and VIII G. Smith, are under
arrest, charged with the muir
der of the Alderman family,
composed of father, mother and seven
children, in Santa Rosa county on
May II, 1906. Stanley was arrested
in Geneva, Ala, where he is now in
Jail, having refused to come to Flor
ida TO stand trial and requisiuOn
papers will have to be procured be
fore he can be taken TO Milton. Smith
was found at Gonzalez and was
brought through Pensacola Sunday by
officers en- route to Milton, where ne
was lodged in Jail. The arrests of the
two men were by R. c. Beagle and At
tOrney H. S. Laird, VINO have been
pursuing the investigation since the
murder of the nine members of the
Alderman family.
An Atrocious Crime.
The crime, which stirred Santa
Rosa county from one end 10 the
other, was a most trociOus one. The
Alderman family resided about 10
miles from Milton and occupied a
small cottage on a farm. During the
morning Of May II last year the
home was destroyed by fire. and par
ties who noticed the destruction of
the home reaching the scene were
Mortified to find the burned ana
charrd bodies of the nine members
of the family At first it was thought
that the family had become overcome
from smoke and being unable to
leave the building, had been cremated,
but later it was discovered that there
were signs of foul play, the skulls
showing that blows had been deliv-
cred, and the position of the father
and protector of the home showed
that he had made an effort to defend
his home and had secured his shot
gun from the wall, but had evidently
been struck down. With the eXcep-
ton of the father and mother the
members of the family were all small
children, there being an infant among
the number, and its charred remains
were found outside OF the house,
where the porch once stood.
Sig Reward Offered.
The citizens of Milton and Santa
Rosa county were worked up TO high
pitch over what were believed to
have been most foul murders, and
reward was offered by the citizens of
$500 for the capture and conviction
Of the parties committing the crime.
anu C4NS " dS duSluCHStu DA d TeWdGN
of $500 offered Dy the governor. thus
a total of 1900.
At the cOrOner's investigation, how
ever, no clue could be obtained as to
who committed the crime, if any had
been committed, and it was thought
that the matter had been dropped. but
Laird and Mr.. Beagle did
not give up the search and continued
the investigation quietly
When they finally concluded their
investigation they made affidavits
against Stanley and White. The two
had been witnesses before the COro-
neT's inquest, left Santa Rosa county
shortly afterwards, but they were To-
Gated, Stanley being found in Geneva,
Ala, where he is in Jail now. and
Smith at Gonzalez. and the latter is
now in the Milton Jail.
The progress of this case will he
watched with much interest through
out this section of the state.
