of the State Senate and now a
Circuit Court judge. became
attorneys for the owen inter-

In December, 1858, Judge Jo-
seph r. Byrnes said Mr.. Walk
er's $500 offer was grossly
inadequate" He pointed out
that the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge and the development of
the adjoining Ackerman prop
erty had made the land much
more valuable. Judge Byrnes
dismissed the receivership
against the Cecil Amusement
Co.
Bridge Proposed in 1853
During the 1853 session of
the Legislature, a proposal to
build a private bridge from the
mainland to Assateague Island
-reachable only by ferry-be-
came an issue before the law
makers. That bridge project
fell through when the bridge
corporation formed by Mr..
Ackerman did not put up the
bond required by the Legisla-
ture to insure completion.
Two years later another
bridge corporation formed by
persons who had bought lots
from Mr.. Ackerman came be-
fore the Legislature asking per-
mission to build a private
bridge. The Legislature re-
jected the proposal, and the
property owners went to the
Public Service C o m mission
seeking a permit under a 1929
law giving the PSC jurisdiction
over private bridges.
About this time. there was
agitation for a State park on
Assateague.
During the 1856 hearings
on the bridge permit before the
PSC, Mr.. Ackerman offered to
give $40 acres of the land
which he and Mr.. Walker
gained through the State pat
ent back to the State if the
private group were allowed to
build the bridge. They didn't

offer the full tract because Mr.
Walker had acquired by othel
means a mile-long strip of the
ocean front section OF the ole
Atlantic City tract.
Set Value at $3.5 Million
During the hearing, Mr.. Ack-
erman valued the $40 acres al
$3.5 million.
Mr.. Brewster, representing
the Owen interests, opposed the
permit for a private bridge. He
said the State should build a
bridge to the island. He charged
also that Mr.. Alderman was
trying to give away property
which rightfully belonged to
the Cecil Amusement Co.
Mr.. Brewster said there
should be a State park on the
island, and said the Cecil
Amusement Co. would sell It's
holdings to the State (the same
land Mr.. Alderman offered to
the State).
In July, 1856, Mr.. Ackerman
and Mr.. Walker turned back
to the State the interest they
had acquired in the $40 acres
as a result of the 1851 land
patent. The State paid them
$6.75 an acre, the same as they
had paid for the land patent.
This did not include the mile
of ocean front which Mr.. Wal
ker had gained title to by pur-
chase from other owners whom
he ran down through a search
of records.
About the time of the bridge
permit hearings, Mr.. Brewster,
in a conference with State Off
cials, offered the land on be-
half of the Cecil Amusement
Co. - the same $40 acres - to
the State for $500,O0O.
Cecil Firm Rechartered
On January 80, 1856, during
the hearings on the bridge, the
Cecil Amusement Co. was re-
chartered. In the papers filed
'or the rechartering, it was
stated that the last acting off,
,erS and directors were unable

own any stock in the Cecil
company.
The $250.O00 for the park
site was voted by the State
Legislature in 1859 and 1860,
after Mr.. Brewster had been
elected to Congress.
According to court papers, the
company's $4,000 worth of stock
was distributed by Marion Owen
in 1926 to his son Cecil, now de-
ceased, % shares; a friend
William Mahon, 2 shares;
Frank Tinney, manager of the
theater operated by the COM
pany. 2 shares; Stephen J.Mc-
Donough, his attorney, 2
shares; and Marion Owen kept
% shares for himself. Marion
Owen said the company was
set up merely as an operating
company" and no one paid any
thing for the shares.
Good Title to 200 Acres
Attorney Henry Walters of
Pocomoke City, one of two law
yers who spent a year searching
land titles for the State, said
the Cecil Amusement Co. ap-
parently has good title to
approximately 200 acres, or
about one-third of the park
site.
The Cecil company also is
claiming about 800 acres which
are listed in the condemnation
suit as owned by about $500
individuals who won the lots in
the 1917 Baltimore store pro-
motion. The Cecil company
claims these individuals never
actually took possession of the
land and that the company has
title to the lots as a result of
its acquisition in the 192Os of
the interests held in the tract
by the previous owners. Robert
Owen. president of the COM
pany, said his family actually
has had control of the land
for the last 35 years and had
an arrangement for many years
with the late Worcester sheriff
under which he looked out for

The court approved the sale
and it was advertised in a Wor-

records indicate that Wor-
cester Sheriff Edwin Lynch,
who had been using the land
to Craze cattle, informed the
Owen family Of the proposed

Marion Owen, one of the
original incorporators of the

The new directors who signed
the rechartering papers were
Robert Owen. son of the orr

lVerlee, and Mrs. Ellen New, a
secretary in Mr.. Brewster's law
office.
Mr.. Brewster and Robert
Owen. president of the firm,
said Mrs. New was named a
director and resident agent for
the company for convenience
in handling affairs of the firm.
Mrs. New also was listed as
secretary of the company.
An employe of the State de-
Ipartment of taxation said it
cost $295 to recharter the COM
pany-a $35 rechartering fee
plus $40 a year taxes for the
years since the charter was
forfeited.
On january 13, 1858, Mr..
Tunbull and Mr.. Brewster
loaned the Cecil Amusement
Co. $4,000. taking a mortgage
on the island property. Mr..
Brewster said the company
needed money to pay of taxes
and other bills but could not
borrow money because of the
status of the title to the land.
Mr.. Brewster said he and Mr..
Turnbull borrowed the $4,000
from a Towson (Md.) bank and

vised to be patient and moderate
in attempting to regain power.
Urged to Work With Foes
The letter suggested these spe-
cific points:
Work with "your bitterest po-
litical enemies in order to give
you time to consolidate your po-
sition."
Do not push the United Ma
tons troops out until you have
consolidated your position, and then
you can ask them to leave" Mr..

would not be able to cope with the
confusion that would follow
United Nations withdrawal.

istration SO that people may feel
secure that they will get work to
do" The note pointed out that

Congo with plenty of funds to
help you." It warned that hungry
people might respond to anyone
who would give them "'bread AMI
games,' as the ancient Romans
put it."
Mr.. Lumumba was warned tha'
"if you fail, you have only your
self to blame" He was told that
his policy to do away" with his
enemies now would fail. "Remem-
ber," the letter said, "the forces
pitched against you are legion.

you will succeed if only you ham
die the situation carefully and

Jacksonville police admit they
arrested Parker when he was sit.
ting alone in a white restaurant
waiting for a cup Of coffee. They
had been watching him for 10 days
because he was the only white per-
son who had the courage to join
Negro students in sit-ins.
Parker took part in sit-ins on
August Is and 26. On August q
the White Citizens Council brought
on a riot by flooding the downtown
section with hoodlums armed with
ak handles and baseball bats. Po-
lice officials say they were unable
to restrain these men because of
a manpower shortage.
Parker was arrested the day
after the riot by officers who had
been sent especially to look for
him. Police accused him of insti-
eating the sit-ins and thus bring
ing on the riots. On Aug. 20 he
was given the Jail sentence and
taken to a temporary cage to a.
wait transfer to Jail. He was sit
ting on a bench in the cage when
he was struck by a segregationist.
who shouted racial epithet as he
hit Parker.
The students jaw was shattered
and several teeth knocked out. His
mouth is still wired up and he is
unable to eat anything but food
in liquid form. However, his spir-
its are good and he has been
strengthened in his belief that he
is doing right.
"I've always felt this way" he
said. "I've always had a feeling
for the Negroes. I've always
thought they were not given rights
they were entitled to as American
citizens"
Friends in Orlando, Fla, who
attended church and school with
Parker say that the student cal
ways had feeling for the under
dog. There was nothing he would
not do to help others. Some people
said he was silly for feeling this
way, but that did not stop him."
Two Negro attorneys here are
contributing their services in eff
forts to free Parker. They feel
that if his conviction is allowed to
stand, it will constitute threat
to other sit-in participants in Flor
ida and throughout the South.
These lawyers are Earl M. John
son and Ernest D. Jackson, 40
Broad Street, Jacksonville, to whom
funds may be sent to help in pro-
cessing an appeal for Parker.
Parker himself needs books to
read and money with which to buy
extra milk. He also needs letters
