A CITIZEN OF OHIO IN A MISSOURI
PRISON.


several years resided inColumbus,is now incarcera,
ted in Jail in St. Louis, charged with not being
a slave. The circums stances are these. This wo.
man, whose maiden name was Eliza Allen, left
Columbus several weeks ago, to visit some rcla
tvcs in Cncinatti. While there she became ac-
quainted with q colored man from Illinois. The
two married, and set out for the home Of the
husband,
Soon after, they paid visit to some friends in
st. Louis Hardly hal they arrived there, however
before Missourian appeared and declared that
"whosocver God hath joined, together" woman
hunter has right to 'put assunder," and claimed
Eliza as his property The husband disputed his
right to her person, and her claim ant knowing his
inability to prove his pretended right, withdrew
his claim. Eliza was, therefore, thrown into Jail,
charged with being free, and given to understand
that she must find an owner, acknowledge herself a
slave and disprove the charge, or otherwise remain
in Jail for time and then be sold into perpetual
bondage.
Information has already been forwarded to May.
or English, of Columbus, concerning all the facts
in the case, and we hope the proper steps may be
taken to secure her release. Acquiescence ir such
acts of outrage against citizens of Ohio, does not
well comport with our dignity as State.-Leader.
