'''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 policeman [[J. D. Carter]].<ref>''[http://books.google.com/books?id=UZtZE8urrsYC&pg=PA105&lpg=PA105&dq=%22dave+alexander%22+pensacola+1909&source=web&ots=FDzTOjmyeO&sig=W5cljmDzRO4F8LRIQvBNj6shJVo Forgotten Heroes: Police Officers Killed in Early Florida, 1840-1925]''. William Wilbanks (1998)</ref>. 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''.
