Staguhar KtInappiag Gase-Some
time ago slave, who called himsef Geo.
W. Ferris, ran away from Tuscumbia, Ala.
Ferris was SO white that one not knowing
him would not suspect his having negro
blood in him. He went to Pittsburg, where
he passed tor white man, worked at his
trade which was that of bricklayer, and
married white woman, by whom he had
one child. A white man named George
Shaw, also bricklayer, arrived at Pittsburg,
and having known Ferris at Tuscumbia, re-
cognised him. He informed his master of
it, and then enticed Ferris to Kansas, where
he was arrested as a fugitive from Alabama
and taken back to his owner Shaw was
tried last week at Pittsburg and convicted
of kidnapping.
