said, {" would rather die ts~a return to slavery"
The Hon. Seth Hswley and H. s. Love, ESQ., appear
ed for the fugitive and james NJ. Smith, ESQ., for the

The principal objection raised In favor Of the prisoner
was, that the affidavit which the warrant
issued did not state that Harrison escaped from vr
gnia any other place but simply that he escaped
1his point was, of course over-ruled.
-Four other fusitves, for whom warrants issued
have escaped to Canada
