Chambers said his client, Mr. Gaines, authorized him to
say that he would hold the woman Margaret, who had killed her
child, subject to the requisition of the Governor of Ohio, to
answer for any crime she might have committed in Ohio.
Judge Leavitt's decision covered the cases of the four adult
fugitives. Another legal process was going on, at the same
time, before Judge Burgoyne, of the Probate Court, viz.--a
hearing under a writ of _habeas corpus_ allowed by Judge
Burgoyne, alleging the illegal detention, by the United
States Marshal, of the three negro children, Samuel, Thomas,
and Silla Garner, which took place in the Probate Court,
before Judge B., on the afternoon of February 27.
Mr. Jolliffe said he represented the infants at the request
of their father and mother, who had solicited him to save the
children, if possible.
Messrs. Headington and Ketchum appeared for the United States
Marshal.
Judge Burgoyne intimated that, in view of the serious and
important questions involved, he should require some time to
render a decision.
