A Black Chapter in the Slaves Administration
The Philadelphia Times recounts Casanave a Louisiana Returning Board member and former undertaker who helped siphon funds from the government after 1876. It notes Anderson Wells Kenner and allies received 15 000, 10 000, and 5 000 yearly while Casanave faced debts, legal costs, and possible exposure as aides tried to cover crimes. The dispatch hints the administration privately funded relief but limited aid, leaving Casanave to leave Washington in disgrace.
