Bnrbnrisrn In BaItimore--A Man Tortured TO
Confession.

Burbnrism in Baltimore.A rs,- Man Tortured to
From the Baltimore american Of Saturday.
An outrage worthy of the most cold -blooded
Ku-KluX in the land was unearthed at the
Southern Police Station yesterday afternoon,
and if the statement of the injured party be
true, the perpetrators of the crime deserve q
lengthy sejourn in the penitentiary. Yesterday
morning Officer Streckfus was called upon to
arrest Henry Sample, colored, charged with
stealing $50 from John Kelso, of the Schooner
John Scarboro, plying between this port and
Accomac county, Va. Sample, who was en-
ployed on the boat, states that q short time
since, while the schooner was lying at Light
street wharf, Kelso accused him of stealing the
money, but did not again refer to the affair until
the boat had proceeded to the Pongoteague
river and was on its return to Baltimore. When
out on the bay Kelso, assisted by one William
Mister, tied the thumbs of Sample with rope
and suspended him to the mast about three feet
from the deck. He was asked to confess to
having stolen the money, but denied in the most
positive terms having seen it. Three times
was he thus outraged, and when released from
the mast he was in so weak condition that it
was with difficulty that he could stand. The
next day Kelso and Mister placed a rope with a
stone attached to the neck of Sample, aud fas-
tened another rope to one of his arms. He was
then asked to confess to having committed the
theft, and again denied He was thrown over
board, but prevented from drowning by the two
men retaining hold of the rope fastened to his
arm. Refusing three times to say that he was
thief, Kelso drew from his pocket knife, and
remarked in substance that if Sample did not
confess to being thief that he (Kelso) would
sever the rope and let the man down. Sample
fearing that if he persisted in attempting to esta-
blish his innocence he would be murdered
said that he did steal the money, and that he
had thrown it overheard. He was then hauled
on board, and that night Keso forced him TO
place his hand in the pocket of man who was
asleep, in order that he might be detected in the
act of stealing, and when the boat arrived at
Light street yesterday Sample was arrested aud
committed for the action of the grand jury
Captain Fry, upon hearing the statement of
Sample, deemed it his duty to cause the arrest
of Kelso and Mister. They were arrested and
after hearing before Justice Boone, released on
security for further hearing. Captain Fry
kindly (and for which he deserves thanks) en-
deavOred to alleviate the acute pains in the
thumbs of the maltreated negro by amounting
them with liniment,
