Murder and Manhunt in 1820: Albro’s Flight from Slavery, Part 1

Here I recognized this material as the sort of murder-mystery story that captivates the imagination of many adults through dramatized novels and screenplays.

In contrast to most of those individuals, however, the paper trail covering Albro’s life provides sufficient detail to reconstruct a reasonable outline of a story that exposes the dangers inherent to that path of resistance.

Charleston Time Machine · Episode 212: Murder and Manhunt in 1820: Albro’s Flight from Slavery, Part 1

From the distance of two centuries, we can see two sides of this story. In the eyes of early nineteenth century White South Carolinians, most of whom viewed slavery as a natural and positive institution, Albro was a criminal slave who was justly executed for the crime of murder.

[Based on the Word "Me"] Who Was Albro?

We don’t know precisely when Albro arrived in South Carolina, and we don’t know any details of his origins in Africa. An 1819 advertisement stated that his African name was “Fulliman,” but we have to recognize that this name might represent an Anglicized corruption of the name he spoke aloud in his native language on his arrival in Charleston.

We will never know the correct spelling of Fulliman’s name, but the point to remember is that he arrived here with an African identity that was supplanted by the Americans who denied his freedom in South Carolina.

...born sometime between 1780 and 1790. He probably entered the port of Charleston aboard a slave ship...after January 1st, 1804...but before January 1st, 1808....would have stepped ashore at Gadsden’s Wharf...

...1813...he was the legal property of James Washington Brandt...Isle of Palms...to work the soil

The Clash on Dewees Island:

Ahead lay the southeastern shore of Dewees Island, a disc-shaped sea island covered with sand dunes, maritime forests, and impenetrable salt marshes.

Amidst their conversation, perhaps after enjoying their evening meal, some noise or movement caught the attention of John Deliesseline, who moved to a nearby window to peer into the darkness.

The three men immediately began to prepare for what they undoubtedly expected to be an unpleasant and dangerous confrontation.

At this point, the three White men appear to have separated and pursued targets in different directions. Thomas Deliesseline soon caught up with...Albro, and grabbed hold of the back of his coat. A physical struggle ensued...Albro fought to escape with his life and preserve his freedom...The Black man’s coat peeled away from his body as he writhed under Tom’s grip, and the White youth stepped back to ready his gun. With a musket barrel pointed at his breast, Albro reached into his buttoned waistcoat and pulled out a loaded pistol. Tom pulled the trigger to fire his gun, but the powder failed to ignite. Hearing the impotent click of his attacker’s flint, Albro made a split-second decision that instantly changed the course of his life. He squeezed the trigger of his extended pistol and fired a blast of lead and smoke towards the darkened figure in front of him. Tom’s body crumpled instantly and fell, lifeless, to the ground.

He had lived as a fugitive from slavery for the past four months and four days, but now he was a murderer whose days were surely numbered.

He probably ran in a northwesterly direction, through the maritime forest on the backside of the island and into the salt marsh surrounding Horse Pen Creek.

[Additional, From Part Three of Same Source]

Monday, February 14th, 1820...his incarceration in the Charleston District Jail. On Sunday afternoon or Monday morning, February 14th, an unidentified magistrate from Christ Church Parish issued written notices...commanding all to meet at Haddrell’s Point on Wednesday morning next to participate in the trial of two enslaved prisoners, Albro and Aaron, for the murder of Thomas Deliesseline.

Southern Patriot, Feb. 14, 1820 communication.

...subjected to a deeply paternalistic and discriminatory form of criminal justice conducted by judges drawn from the local White community who might or might not have any legal training...subjective interpretations of limited evidence...crossed the line of humanity into the dark realm of cruel and unusual punishment.

...unidentified citizen...wrote to...one of the city’s daily newspapers...appeared in the Southern Patriot on the afternoon of Monday, February 14th...

“Mr. Editor, The slave accused of the murder of young Deliesseline, is now in the City. I have been told that the shivering wretch was carried through our streets wounded and almost naked.

The laws of our country, Mr. Editor, presume every man innocent (white or black) until he has been tried and found guilty. Law, therefore, and Justice require that he should be mercifully treated until his trial.”

In order to recommend Albro as a man deserving of fair and humane treatment, the writer had to first disavow any notion of defending the enslaved prisoner:

“I do not mean to call for any improper sympathies in his favor, but such is the state of excitement of the public mind, that we may, however unintentionally, do an act of injustice. The accused has been interrogated and solemnly declares his innocence—he persists in saying, that in the dark, one of the party of whites, intending to kill him, missed him and shot Mr. Deliesseline, and that he then fled. How gratifying, sir, would it be to many in this community, if some humane Gentleman of the Bar would attend and see the trial fairly conducted. If he is guilty, he ought to and will suffer; if innocent, let him be acquitted.

Wednesday, February 16th...traveled from the Charleston District Jail to Christ Church Parish...

Albro's sentence as reported in the Feb. 17, 1820 edition of the City Gazette.

The precise venue for the trial is unknown, but it might have taken place in the Ferry House—a building owned by the Hibben family and used as a gathering place for travelers waiting to take the ferry over the Cooper River.

[Albro was incarcerated at the same time & place as Lavinia Fischer and John Fischer]

...gallows in front of the Red House...February 16th, Albro was to be hanged between the hours of 12 and 1 p.m.
