HOW THE THING WAS WORKED. is.s;
The whereabouts of the, runaway
negroes was ferretted out by Turner,
who being familiar with the the neigh.
borhood in which they resided, prob
ably had not much difficulty in find
ing them. They occupied . honse to-
|gether at the corner of Edna and Har-
rison streets. This fact being COM
municated to Noyes, he proceeded
thither, las i: is alleged,) in the guise
of person seeking for farm laborcrs.
He wanted to hire three men to work
on a farm three miles out of the city,
to whom he would pay $25 a month
with board and lodgings. To avoid
awakening suspicion in the minds of
the darkies, rs well as to enable him
to communicate with their owner, he
told them he did not want the men inn
mediately, but that they should come
to his Office in Lake street on the fol-
lowing Friday afternoon, when he
would provide them with such farm
ing implements as they would require
in the performance of their work. i'2
The negroes agreed to go, and &C.
cordingly on last Friday afternoon
presented themselves at the office of
Noyes and, Smith They were fur
nished with money and sent to hard
ware store, where . scythe and a rake
a hoe and some other implements were
purchased, and carried to the office
from which they were to start on the
railway train the same night for the
farm. They remained in the office
until IL O'Clock at night. ---f'o'tea
In the meantime Capt. Frost, who
had come up from St. Louis, chartered
one OF the Illinois central railroad
cars, for his exclusive use, to, be TAX
en- out with the II o'clock train. lis
said he paid for the car $l25. Just
before the train was ready to start, the
negroes, Carrying their farming tools,
were conducted to the depot, and tit is
said by the agency of Dewey who was
employed as the watchman at the de-
pot, placed in Capt. Frost's car. The
train departed, but the negroes did
not get off at the farm. .. -.f.
Thus were the negroes and their
brother abolitionists of Chicago out
witted by the shrewdness Of these Re-
publican detectives, who, having, by
long tutellage in Republican off,
cial school learned to execute all, 9TH
er laws without warrant or process of
any kind, took it upon themselves to
execute the fugitive slave law in a sim
liar manner. They knew very we'll
that their partisan friends who had
taught them to arrest and imprison
white men without due process Of law,
would not permit them to arrest a run
away negro, even though surrounded
by all the forms, and armed by all the
writs,processes and Instruments which
law and lawyers could DEVISE They
knew that these same Republican tu-
tors of thieves who had taught them
to seize white men upon. any charge
whatever and carry them out Of the
State without even shadow Of legal
authority, would raise up in arms and
drench the city with white men s blood
to rescue a negro from the straight,
forward and legitimate operations sot
:. the law. Consequently these Repub
lican detectives proceeded to execute
the fugitive slave law in their ~owr
! way, and in SO doing it must be said
. they succeeded better, than any one
ever did before in the city Of Chicago
We expect to hear the Black Rcpub
a lican journals all over the country ring
/ with the praises of their great shrewd
: t)ness and efficiency. .oz.a.to IL,
