Mr.. Wesson suggested that some funds
were necessity to employ counsel; but we
4 ARE not1 aware that any collection was
made for this purpose nor for the benefit
!, Of the wife and child Of Anderson. Tt
was not pretended. we believe, that
Anderson was not slave nor that he
did not owe service or labor to the man
into whose custody, he was given.
