Forgery to Larceny

from $167.07

"Douglass's encounters with the law showcased a life of contrasts. In 1861, he faced accusations of selling liquor without a license and maintaining a disorderly house. Two years later, a different side emerged as he found himself embroiled in forgery and theft allegations. The complexity of his motives leaves us to question whether he aimed to protect his customers' wages or sought illicit gain.  Labor ticket forgery was a jailable offense and so serious that Douglass was arrested by detectives and personally jailed by the Chief of Police. Douglass was sentenced to an 18-month stint in prison. Saloon keepers of the day often took a cut of a dock worker’s pay to settle the dock worker’s bill for lodging, meals, and drinks. It was believed  that Douglass had swindled many boat owners by presenting false tickets for payment. It’s not known if  he was being protective of his customers by trying to ensure that Black workers were paid a living wage  or if he had discovered an illegal way to make a profit.
