HORRIBLE BARBARITY
A Slave Whipped to Death
in Kentucky
} Editors Chicago Tribune /.

Editors Chicago Tribune:
Reuben Harris was the slave of Isaac
Rucker, who lived in Lyon county, be.
tween the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers. About year ago Reuben d.

of the sons of Isaac Rucker were Off

They were taken prisoner by our army.
Isaac, through fear, fed. The slaves, by
the advice of our soldiers, still abode on
the plantation and worked it, On the
18th day of January Rucker and his two
sons returned to the plantation. upon
inquiry around they found that Reuben
reported On them, BY which means they
were taken. Hata af8 sAs
Isaac Rucker then took Reuben, his
former slave, stripped him and tied him
up by his wrists to pole between two
trees, Just SO that his toes could touch
the ground. He then, with his own
hands whipped him, and continued to
whip him for hours, frequently saying
that he would cut him in two. His wife
and family were present, moaning 10
agony at the spectacle. The wretch
turred and struck the wife ten blows
