Excerpt: ...out of Prison he was so dull, stupid, morose, excited io anger by petty troubles, small in our view but mountains in his way, filled in his waking hours with moody recolleciions, and rising at mid-night to sing incoherent songs, dance without music, read unintelligible jargon and combat with imaginary enemies. How oiherwise than on the score of madness can you explain the stupidity which caused him to be taken lor a fool at Apptegate's, on the way from the Prison lohis home? How else the ignorance which made him incapable ot distinguishing the coin which he offered at the halter's shop? How else his ludicrous apprehensions of being recommitted l0 the State Prison for live years, for the offence of breaking his dinner knife? How else his odd and strange manner of accouniing for his deafness, by expressions, all absurd and senseless, and varying with each interogator; as to John Depuy "that Tyler struck him across the eats with a plank, and knocked his hearing off, and that it never came back; that they put salt in his ear, but it did'nt do any good for his hearing was gone, all knocked off;" to the Rev. John M. Austin, "the siones dropped down my ears, or the stones of my ears dropped down;" to Ethan A. Warden, " got stone in my ear, got it out, thought 1 heard better when I got it out;" to Doctor Hermance, "that his ears dropped," and to the same witness on another occasion, "that the hearing of his ears fell down;" to his mother, ' that his ear had fell down;" to Deborah Depuy, " that Tyler si tuck him on the head with a board and it seemed as if the sound went down his throat;" io Doctor Brigham, "thai he was hurt when young, it made him deaf in the right ear, ..".

Ment. My answer to all such charges shall be brief. When this cause shall have been committed to you, I shall be happy indeed if it shall ap pear that my only error has been, that I have felt too much, thought too intensely, or acted too faithfully. If my error would thus be criminal, how great would yours be if you should render an unjust verdict Only four months have elapsed since an outraged People, distrustful of judicial redress, doomed the prisoner to immediate death. Some of you have confessed that you approved that lawless sentence. All men now rejoice that the prisoner was saved for this solemn trial. But this trial would be as criminal as that precipi tate sentence, if through any wilful fault or prejudice of yours, it should prove but a mockery of justice. If any prejudice of witnesses, or the imagination of Counsel, or any ill-timed jest shall at any time have di.

Book excerpt: From Puritan Execution Day rituals to gangsta rap, the black criminal has been an enduring presence in American culture. To understand why, Jeannine Marie DeLombard insists, we must set aside the lenses of pathology and persecution and instead view the African American felon from the far more revealing perspectives of publicity and personhood. When the Supreme Court declared in Dred Scott that African Americans have "no rights which the white man was bound to respect," it overlooked the right to due process, which ensured that black offenders—even slaves—appeared as persons in the eyes of the law. In the familiar account of African Americans' historical shift "from plantation to prison," we have forgotten how, for a century before the Civil War, state punishment affirmed black political membership in the breach, while a thriving popular crime literature provided early America's best-known models of individual black selfhood. Before there was the slave narrative, there was the criminal confession. Placing the black condemned at the forefront of the African American canon allows us to see how a later generation of enslaved activists—most notably, Frederick Douglass—could marshal the public presence and civic authority necessary to fashion themselves as eligible citizens. At the same time, in an era when abolitionists were charging Americans with the national crime of "manstealing," a racialized sense of culpability became equally central to white civic identity. What, for African Americans, is the legacy of a citizenship grounded in culpable personhood? For white Americans, must membership in a nation built on race slavery always betoken guilt? In the Shadow of the Gallows reads classics by J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur, Edgar Allan Poe, Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, George Lippard, and Edward Everett Hale alongside execution sermons, criminal confessions, trial transcripts, philosophical treatises, and political polemics to address fundamental questions about race, responsibility, and American civic belonging.

Facsimiles of 20 scarce pamphlets are collected in these two volumes. As the title indicates, most are reports of criminal cases relating to such crimes as murder and assault. Others address political issues arising from legal rights of free blacks. Also included are accounts of two fascinating cases relating to problems caused by the end of slavery. One involves the legal status of informal marriages between former slaves, the other involves the validity of slave contracts signed before abolition.

They will prove valuable to historians, lawyers, law teachers and students, and all persons interested in the problems of slavery and race in American experience." William M. Wiecek, American Journal of Legal History 33 (1989) 187.
