ton of authenticity. 1t seemed the gentle
man dislelicvcd the statement from one OF
the ,rhitc s}arcS of northern factory, but if
! the testimony had come from some runaway
negro from the south it would have been am
ply sufficient for him.

not founded on the statements OF runaway
slaves, but on other hascs.
