second ward station house. There he was
held till the cluimcnts son arrived, when, il
appears, he, together with Busieed and Mar
tin, held consultation at the second ward
station house. Preston's wife, his counsel,
and several of his friends had been untiring
in their pursuit of and inquiry for him, but
could learn nothing whatever until n man
halloed TO the wife in the Park, that they
had just taken her husband into the U. :.
Court Room. Preston's Counsel and wife
hurried with all speed to the Court room,
but on arriving found a witness sworn and
giving evidence. At this stage our reporter
has taken up the case and kept our readers
advised on the subject.
Wien the case was adjourned on Friday
afternoon TO Saturday morning, il was with
the nyowed understanding on the part Of
! PrestOn's COUNSEL and assented To hy the
Commissioner, that if the latter should deny
the motion made aud argued by Mr.. Jay to
quash or dismiss the proceedings, then the
counsel should so into their defense on the
merits. To that end, several witnesses
were in attendance; others had process ont

IN Baltimore, and were prepared to prove the

freedom and the provisions in her will TO tlnt

the admission of the claimant, and others,
to contradict Bustecd's affidavit aud prove

The Commissioner instead of deciding
the preliminary motion Of Mr.. Jay, and then
stopping, took the counsel, tho prisoner, and

removed to back room in the MarslIa's
office. Mr.. Culver at once applied TO the
Marshal for permission to go TO tho room aud
see his client, to have him sign an affidavit
for haJeas corpus. His request was sternly
denied-nor could he get sight Of Preston
again till he was brought cut to be started oil
South.
Prcston's counsel then applied to Judge
Judson for habe0s corpus, but he could not
hear the application.
Meantime the condemned man was got
ready. Ills wife went in and had her last
sad interview with him. Her cries aud sohs
were heard by the multitude outside.
We doubt if more touching exhibition of
the workings of the Fugitive Slave LAW has
ever been Witnessed. This mans wife Stood

The late Mrs. Ware, of Frankfort, KY,
cmancipated, by her will, all her slaves, thirty
in number, and purchased for them 1900
acres of land on the Miami Canal, in the State
