these:-Jane Moore had been living for short time

Of money, which she gave him. He then left the
house, and did not return until late at night when
finding the house closed he knocked at the door,
which Jane opened. She was Immediately knocked
down, end placed in . carriage which was in wait
ing and driven rapidly acrt IS the river WHARF she
was lodged IN the Oovington JAIL as fugitive slave
from hsysville, Ky. The kidnappers said that she
had escaped some two weeks since. The jailer was
touched with the girls story Of her wrongs, and,
being satisfied that she was free woman, commu.
nicated her case to . prominent citizen Of Coving
tom through whom her sisters were rst appraised Of
her arrest. The same gentleman also secured the
services Of Messrs. Caldwell and Burrows, a,tor-
neys of this city. Mr.. Burrows repaired immedi-
ately to Covington, and had the girl taken before
Mayor Foley, who heard the case with his accuA
toned impartiality. The freedom Of Jane was
established, and an order was given by the Mayor
for her release. In the meantime the kidnappeEs
turned fusitives, and have not since been heard
