  • The Ashley Gang: What Really Happened
    As published in Indian River Magazine, October 2007. Warren J. Sonne is a retired New York City police detective who later became a private eye. He is the author of “Criminal Investigations for the Professional Investigator,” and writes extensively on investigative issues. The president of Pinnacle Protective Services in New York, Sonne and his family in 2003 moved to St. Lucie County, where he also owns the Florida private investigation firm Sun State Investigative Services. The Ashley Gang: What really happened. A gumshoe follows the trail of the Ashley Gang 83 years after their shooting deaths to reveal who did what at the Sebastian Bridge and why. By Warren J Sonne Ed Register was just 7 when he was walking one morning with his father to the family’s barrel factory in downtown Fort Pierce and saw a crowd gathering outside Will Fee’s Hardware and Mortuary. The image has seared his memory for more than eight decades. “I wish my father never brought me there,’’ says Register, now 90. “ I was only 7 years old, but I remember seeing those dead bodies laid out on the sidewalk.” Register, who spent his professional career running chambers of commerce in Fort Pierce and Boca Raton, is surprised to hear from me. But as far as I can tell, he is the only living person who remembers that November morning in 1924 in which the four bodies of the Ashley Gang were laid out after being shot by lawmen at the Sebastian Bridge the night before. Nearly 83 years later, Register meets us outside the building on Second Street and Avenue A where Will Fee sold hardware and caskets, a commodity that made running a funeral parlor a natural side business.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis studies sailors who worked onboard British and North American slave ships between 1750 and 1808. Its starting point is the discrepancy between maritime historiography and that of the slave trade: in the former seamen appear as radical, anti-authoritarian figures who were far more accepting of black men and women than other occupational groups in this era. In slave trade literature, by contrast, sailors appear as shadowy figures ready to do the captain’s bidding, which generally meant abusing, maltreating and assaulting men and women of African origin. Through detailed analysis of the lives and working conditions of those who were lowly employees in the slave trade, it is possible to see that the much-vaunted radicalism of seamen as a group grew at least in part from their work onboard ‘guinea ships’.

January to May 1907. John T. Stewart Drainage Engineer UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Office of Experiment Stations. Irrigation and Drainage Investigations. Washington, D.C., May 18, 1907 Dr. Elwood Mead, Chief Irrigation and Drainage Investigations, Office of Experiment Stations, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. Sir: I hereby transmit a report of the field work done under my direction from January 20th to April 7th, on the Everglades drainage project. Unsigned instructions delivered to me on January 17th, by Mr. J.O. Wright, expert in drainage, of this Office, state that the object and purpose of the survey was- “1.) To determine the topography of the country lying south of township 41 so as to locate proper channels to carry the overflow of Lake Okeechobee to the sea along the natural and most practical routes. 2.) To determine approximately the extent, area, and character of the water that drains into Lake Okeechobee so as to calculate the discharge capacity of the channel or channels necessary to prevent the overflow of the lake. 3.) To determine the depth of muck and to locate the rim of the stone which encircles the lake or skirts or crosses the Everglades. 4.) To analyze the different kinds of soil found and determine their value for agriculture. 5.) Make plans and estimates of costs of a complete system of drainage.” A letter of January 31, signed by yourself, instructed as follows: “I would like to suggest that you keep a very full diary in which you will enter everything relative to the appearance and production of the country that you are going through.

  • 1911 the Ashley Gang and Frontier Justice
    The Ashley Gang and Frontier Justice The Ashley boys were a notorious gang of desperados that terrorized Florida's southeast coast for more than 15 years. Often violent, their crimes ranged from murder, bank robbery, hijacking, bootlegging and moon shining to piracy on the high seas. One of their specialties, however, was running liquor between West End in the Bahamas into the maze of hideouts south of Stuart. Florida was a frontier in those days with frontier sheriffs who sometimes solved crimes with frontier justice. John Ashley first came to the attention of the local sheriff in 1911, when he was accused of killing Desoto Tiger, the son of Tom Tiger, a well-known leader of the Seminole Nation. The two men had been trapping partners in the Everglades when Ashley came into town alone. A few days later, Desoto Tiger's body was uncovered by a dredge cutting the North new river canal from Fort Lauderdale to Okeechobee. Ashley sold the ninety otter hides the partners had trapped to a dealer in Miami for $1,200. Jimmy Gopher, another Seminole, told the sheriff that Ashley was the last man seen with Desoto Tiger. Palm Beach Sheriff George B. Baker dispatched two deputies to a Gomez neighborhood south of Stuart to arrest Ashley (Martin County was not created until 1925). www.jupiter.fl.us/history John and his brother, Bob Ashley, ambushed the deputies and sent them back with a message to Sheriff Baker, "Tell him not to send any more chicken-hearted men or they might get hurt." This slap at the Sheriff's men made it personal and started a feud that continued for years and finally ended at Sebastian River Bridge.
