SLAVE SYSTEM
Negro Held in SerVitude in
kemper County, Miss.
ALLEGED DEBT OF A DOLLAR
GRAND JURY WILL INVESTI-
GATE THE MATTER.

4 ACKSON, Miss, March 10.-Shep
Griffin, a negro, is Ia jail at Meri-
dian, having been taken from GER
tain persons in KemDer county. who, it
is charged. held him in enforced seryi-
tude. This is the first substantial
charge OF peOnage that has come TO the
attention of the United States officials
i'm Mississippi, and it is learned that the
neighborhood where the arrest was
made is in a state Of excitement.
Threats Of Murder.
While the officials decline to discuss
the matter, it is learned from other
sources that the parties charged with
the offense not only have made threats
that they would kill the negro and the
deputies who arrested him, but would
also kill the witnesses against them
and burn their property.
1t is further learned from the clerk
of the United States court that Shep
Griffin was arrested on a bench war
rant on the application of the district
attorney, commanding the marshal to
take Griffin and hold him as a witness
before the federal grand jury next
Monday.
Negro Was Tortured.
Reputable white citizens of Kemper
county brought this case TO the atten-
ton of the marshal asserting to him
that the negro had been stripped and
whipped for leaving the premises of
those who held him. So severe was the
beating that his clothing stuck for sew
eTal days to the gashes made by the
! lash. On his second escape, it is al
I legged. that he. fed into NessObal cOun-
ty, where he was recaptured, pistols
were drawn on him, a rope was placed
around his neck and fastened to the
saddle of one Of his captors, and he
was dragged and driven into Kemper
| county.
The persons who held Griffin in servi-
/ tude claimed that he owed them 81.
! This he offered to pay, and reputable
! white citizens also offered to pay the
sum, but all offers were declined. as it
\ was stated that it was his work, and
not the money, that was wanted.
