Caucasian Woman Discharged After Court Says She Was A Negro
A white woman Martha Venebrooks, also known as Mattie Greenwood, was arraigned in a police court on suspicion of living among negroes. The recorder noted her mixed history, stated the tale is extraordinary, and dismissed the case, saying a curse from her past as a slave and marriage to a negro complicates recognition as white. Also mentions Dr King’s New Discovery for Consumption praised by Anna Springer.
