'''David Alexander''' was a black man killed by a lynch-mob on [[April 5]], [[1909]].<ref>[http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Base/8507/NLPlaces1.htm]</ref>, after he allegedly confessed to killing a policeman. Unlike the lynching of [[Leander Shaw]] the previous summer, this lynching apparently had little popular support and was in fact sharply denounced by some citizens, including the Rabbi Schwartz of [[Temple Beth-El]].<ref>''Emergence of a City in the Modern South: Pensacola 1900-1945''.
