Parker freedman has obtained various sums of money from freedmen in this vicinity, under pretence that said sums of money would be appropriated in erecting a school house, and in other beneficial purposes; and it having been further shown that no benefit whatever has secured to parties paying said sums of money, but on the contrary that said sums of money have been used by Parker in his own private interests.
