39. Celia, a Slave is a narrative account of such a criminal trial, where a slave woman was tried for the murder of her owner, found guilty,
and sentenced to be hanged. Robert Newsom, age sixty, had purchased Celia, age fourteen, to be his live-in mistress. Five
years later, she asked him to discontinue sexual relations with her until after the birth of their second child. He refused
and she killed him by beating him with a piece of wood and burned his body in her fireplace. She could not testify on her
own behalf because that would have meant permitting a black person to bring evidence against a white person. Melton A. McLaurin,
Celia, a Slave (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1991; KF223.C43 M34 1991).[back]
