Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1859-08-06

just then on another lead, not long thereafter
bad spotted and made into evidence"
The excitement in our community yesterday
morning was intense. At an early hour the negro,
Turner, had been discharged from voluntary in
generation, and not long thereafter il was evident,
that indignation had grown over night. Such
we're some Of the demonstrations threatened that,
yesterday forenoon, about the same time that war
rants were sworn out against Noyes, Smith, Tur-
ner and the boy Oertmau, the colored man was
taken into custody by Deputy-S Sheriff Anderson,
and, as a precautionary measure for himself, lock-
ed up, though Almost Immediately detained to
answer the ends Of justice.
Smith and Oertman we're also arrested, while
Noyes, who had been seen about town, ADD indeed
had conversed with some o! the leading citizens
as late as 10 q. M, was unfortunately and shame
fully allowed to elude capture, carrying with him
the 50 1900. We believe officers are on his track,
however, that that entire sum will not buy off
from taking him if possible. The parties arrest
ed were brought before Judge Milliken yesterday
morning, and re-committed for examination yes
terday afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
At that hour there was a large attendance Of
citizens. both colored and white, many of the lat
ter indeed hanging about the COURTHOUSE
throughout the day. The police courtroom in
the third story was fully packed at the hour nam
ed, and the most intense feeling manifested when
the negro Turner was brought in. There is no
question what would have been the result had his
case been brought for the change of venue they
covet, before the people Of his own color, espe-
cially the brother Of the betrayed Scott, who.
without paying the least regard to the C%onstitu-
Of the United States and the laws of proper
ty, manifested, not loudly but deeply, emotions
not very becoming in chattels or those subject to
become such.
District-Attorney Haven, assisted by John G.
Miller, Esq, appeared for the people the pris-
oners were not represented by counsel, nor did
they express their desire for any, Smith manag-
ing his own case. Mr.. Haven reminded his hon
or, Justice Milliken, that by the statute, if con-
victed, the defendants were subject to a penalty of
imprisonment in the penitentiary for from one to
seven years in each case of a person kidnapped,
and that as three men had been, as was alleged.
kidnapped by these men, aided by another sill
at large, he should, in view of the importance Of
the case, ask a continuance, and in the meantime
that heavy bail might be fixed in each case.
After some discussion, Smith waved an examin-
alton, and subsequently, gave bail, in $4,000 to
appear at the August term of the Recorders
Court. The others, Turner and the boy Oertman,
we're committed in default of 81 900 bail each.
The most active e~xertions are being made by
detectives Pinkerton, Bradley, and other officers,
with what we believe and trust is a full intent and
desire to capture the fugitive Noyes, for whose
capture, if necessary, a much larger reward could
be offered than the paltry sum that mace him a
negr ,-hunter. This affair has Justly made q most
profound sensation here, perhaps more SO than any
like event for ten years past, and yet there ap-
pears to be DO desire other than that the law
should take its course.
These men and their companion, if taken,
shonld suffer the laws EXTREMIST penalty, if con-
virted- There uaa O runor Of u iurgu gathering
of colored citizens las: evening on the corner of
Buffalo and jackson streets there was an assem-
bly, of perhaps a hundred and fifty at the Meth
odist Chapel there situated, but it was q quiet and
orderly gathering. with closed doors to the gener-
al public, and, we learn. characterised by a mod
GRAFTON and tone of sentiment, expressed not at oil
at variance with tho character borne by our color
ed residents as quiet, peaceloving men, despite
their no small present provocation.
LArER,-We learn that about 10 o'clock last ev-
ening another party implicated in the kidnapping
was arrested. The person is ex-policeman Dewey,
formerly in the employ of the railroad companies
at the Illinois Central Depot. who has just re.
turned to this city from a trip to Pixies Peak. II
is charged that he was one of the assistants OF
Noyes and Smith in the car that conveyed the par
ty to St. Louis.
