The Grand Jury
of the County (in which Chicago is) had found a true bill
against them, of which the Sheriff professed to be ignorant,
(which was deemed hardly possible,)--under which bill they
would probably have been convicted and sentenced to the State
Prison. Thus the omnipotent Slave Power reaches forth its
hand into our most Northern cities, end saves its minions
from the punishment which their lawless acts have justly
merited.--_Chicago Daily Tribune_, Sept. 21, 1854.
--> The three kidnappers published a statement in the _St. Louis
Republican_ of September 26.
HENRY MASSEY, at Philadelphia, September, 1854, was brought
before United States Commissioner E.D. Ingraham, claimed by
Franklin Bright, of Queen Anne's County, Maryland, as his
slave. Arrested in Harrisburg.
HARVEY, arrested near Cumminsville, Ohio,--escaped,--taken
again in Goshen, about ten miles from Cincinnati, and lodged
in the jail of that city. An investigation of the case was
had before United States Commissioner Pendery, and the
slave remanded to the custody of his master.
