Man Admits He
Sold Daughter
Bessemer, Ala., July 29 M B
An unemployed miner was held
for investigation here after he
admitted selling his 3-year-old
daughter for $500 and spending
the money on a used ear.
Police said that Leman Alvin
Edwards, 26, signed a confession
admitting that he sold his
daughter, Viree, for adoption.
Edwards also admitted in his
statement that another daughter
16-months-old Sandra Lee, was
up "For Sale."
W. H. Sessions, operator of
the Stadium Grill here, said he
had started adoption proceedings
for Viree but added that the
$500 he gave Edwards was a
gift rather than a purchase payment.
Sessions and his wife said
they wanted to give the little
girl a good home and had paid
Edwards the $500 in hopes that
he would leave town and stay
away from the child.
When questioned by news
men, Edwards denied that he
intended to "sell" Viree but ad
mitted that he spent the money
on a 1036 model automobile.
