Pollock, the reporter
of the proceedings in the United States Court, conducted
another of the fugitives, and all were safely lodged in the
omnibus, which drove down to the Covington ferry-boat; but,
although a large crowd followed it, no hootings or other
signs of excitement or disapprobation were shown.
On arriving at the Kentucky shore, a large crowd was in
attendance, which expressed its pleasure at the termination
of the long proceedings in this city by triumphant shouts.
The fugitives were escorted to the jail, where they were
safely incarcerated, and the crowd moved off to the Magnolia
Hotel, where several toasts were given and drank. The crowd
outside were addressed from the balcony by H.H. Robinson,
Esq., United States Marshal for the Southern District of
Ohio, who declared that he had done his duty and no more, and
that it was a pleasure to him to perform an act that added
another link to the glorious chain that bound the Union.
[What a _Union_! For what "glorious" purposes!]
Mr.
