make no noise. They took him to an en-
gine-house and handcufed him. He was
then taken to the river, and in answer to
whistle, a man came with a skiff from the
Kentucky shore, and, accompanied by one
of the officers, the negro was taken across
and thrust into Covington jail. The trans
action got out, and becoming alarmed at
the consequences, the negro was taken from
Jail at midnight on Sunday night, and re-
turned to Cincinnati. Officers Slater and
Leonard are charged with kidnapping the
boy, and Deputy U. S. Marshal Butts, of
Kentucky, came over in the skiff for him.

to arrest all the persons implicated in the
transaction which will receive thorough
legal investigation. Slater, who expresses
much regret at his conduct, claims that the
boy represented that he was fugitive
slave, and wanted to get back to his mas
