Habersham County GaArchives News.....Decapitated For Two Dollars 1886 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Jacqueline King fammaw51@yahoo.com July 18, 2005, 9:44 am Newspaper 1886 Decapitated For Two Dollars Toccoa, Ga., Feb. 11 (1886)-At an early hour this morning some early risers were horrified by finding a head upon the sidewalk in the northeast part of town. The neck bore evidence of repeated stabs and fearful mangling. After a half hours search the body was discovered about a square off, covered with wounds. The head was identified as that of Alexander Mauldin, the 13 year old son of a respectable widow. She had sent him the night before to the home of a relative with $2, and supposed that he was still there. The money was gone, indicating that robbery must have been the motive. Terrible excitement exists. A Young Murderer Toccoa, Ga., Feb. 13 (1886)-The Coroners jury investigating the murder of young Mauldin published its verdict to-day, stating that he came to his death by wounds from a shotgun in the hands of Frederick Freeman, and was afterwards robbed by him. No motive further than is disclosed in the verdict is known. Frederick is fifteen years of age. His father was formerly Mayor of this town, and is now Postmaster, and is one of the most honored citizens of Habersham County. Frederick has not yet been arrested. The Mauldin Boy Murder Facts Which Tend To Show The Innocence Of The Accused Lad Toccoa, Ga., March 5 (1886)-Startling developments are promised in the Mauldin murder case. Aleck Mauldin, a youth of 12, went out hunting with Fred Freeman, the 14-year-old son of ex-Senator Freeman, and the next day the decapitated body of Mauldin was found near an abandoned house frequented by negro gamblers. The first impulse was that the boy had been murdered by some of the negroes. On the Coroners investigation, however, the disappearance of Fred Freeman was made known, and so many were convinced by the incriminating evidence that a verdict was reached that Freeman was the slayer of Mauldin. Shocked as the people were at the brutal murder, they were still more shocked at this revelation, as the Freeman family was one of the most respectable in that section. Rewards were offered by both local and State authorities for the arrest of the alleged fugitive and pictures of him have been spread and broadcast over the State. At one time three boys were held in different parts of the State on suspicion of being the fugitive, but were all subsequently discharged. The developments of the last day or two, however, have been of a character to make the case still more sensational. The friends of Fred Freeman have discovered his whereabouts and tell a story of dramatic interest. It is that the two boys went sauntering down toward the old house, where they disturbed two negroes playing cards. Seeing themselves discovered, they caught the boys, shot Mauldin to death, and were about to treat Freeman likewise when he escaped in the bushed. The negroes gave him pursuit until he was too far from home to return, and the first news he heard was the accusation that he was the murderer. Not knowing what better to do than to hide out, he adopted that course, hoping that the truth would come out in time. It has been learned that several notorious negroes did disappear about that time, and search is now being made for the two most strongly suspected. Senator Freeman, it is now said, is satisfied of the correctness of this theory, and stands ready to produce his son when his presence becomes necessary. Note-Alexander Mauldin appears as the son of John Mauldin, age 27, and his wife Rosa Mauldin, age 34, in the 1880 Federal Census in Pickens County, South Carolina. Frederick Freeman appears in the 1880 Federal Census in Habersham County, Toccoa, as the son of J. M. Freeman, age 52, and his wife M. M. Freeman, age 48. Mr. Freeman is listed as a Merchant. In the 1870 Census for Franklin County, Ga., the family is headed by John M. Freeman and his wife is Mary M. Freeman.
