Listen To This
by Hobart T. Mitchell


There is tragic tale of slavery
days hidden away in one of the
early volumes of the decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. One wonders how it es-
capped Harriet Beecher Stowe and
inclusion in Uncle Toms Cabin, +"
for it is in fundamental harmony
with the scenes and incidents to be
marshalled to stir the Nations con-
science.
1t appears that Patrick McCut-
cheon of Tennessee died in 1910
leaving a will providing that upon
the death of his wife the slaves
owned by him and willed to her,
should go free, except that those
who had not arrived at the age of
81 at the time of his wifes death,
should be held by his brother and
brother-in-law, until they reach
ed 81 years of age, and then they
should be freed. 1t was obviously
Patrick McCutcheon's wish that all
his bond servants should attain
their freedom.
After the death of McCutcheon
and before the death of his wife,
two of the slaves, Eliza and Gym
thia, had children born to them,
whose advent had not been pro-
vided for in the will.
After the death of Mrs. McCut.
cheon the heirs sought to defeat
the intent of the will. They claim
ed that the laws of Tennessee did
not permit freeing of slaves by
will and that the increase born af
ter McCutcheons death and before
their mother was to go free were
slaves, and therefore liable to be
distributed as inherited property.
The Supreme Court rejected the
contention that slaves could not
be freed by will, but regarding the
children of Eliza and Cynthia it
held that they were born in slav-
cry, and not having been made
free by provisions of the will, they
remained slaves. Thus the parents
became free but their children re-
NAMED in bondage.
The American General Head
quarters issued a circular (confi-
dentiaD to the French officers dur
ing the World War that it was not
good form to shake hands with a
Negro; yet Negro, Henry john
son, of the 18th Regiment, New
York National Guard, was the
first soldier of the American EX-
peditionary Forces to receive the
Croix de Guerre with star and
palm.
By an act of the Confederate
legislature sanctioned by General
Robert E. Lee) March 10, 1865,
Negroes were called for military
service in the Confederate Army.
About 1850 patents have been
issued to Negroes by the United
States Patent Office.
