which was situated on the northeast
corner of the old Whitewater burying

since that time. We should not fail
to mention the newspapers published
In the early days Of Fountain City.
This was ably done few years ago
by Major M. NJ. Lacey In paper read
before the Wayne County Historical
Society.
THE Protectionist" edited by Ar.
mold Buffum, was established in 1910
Buffum was a man OF fine education,
eloquent in speech and pungent wri-
ter, bold and fearless in his utter
ances and SO radical In his opinions
especially on the slavery question that
he antagonized and irritated those
who did not agree with him. He be-
lieved in carrying his principles to the
ballot box, and advocated the immedi-
ate emancipation Of human slavery.
Buffum was wholly without financial
resources, SO that the real sinews of
war were furnished by faithful friends
of the cause. He continued as editor
for about one year and left Newport
for larger fields. After Buffum's de.
parture 1t became grave question to
the anti-slavery Friends whether to
discontinue the publication or endeav-
or to secure a new editor. Those men
were heroes. They well knew that 1t
had been a financial loss and would
probably continue to be, but they be.

estimating.
In educational matters Newport
society has always taken a front rank
and has always been noted for her
good schools. She can honestly claim
today of having the best approved and
most beautiful school building of any
town of like size in a large territory
and her teachers receive the largest
salaries of any in Wayne county out
side of Richmond
But it is in the cause of human free
dom that the early history of this
place shines with brightest magni-
tude.
AS early as 1928 Levi Coffin began
to take fleeing slaves into his own
home, and it was not long before New
port was widely known as one of the
chief depots of the Underground r. R.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-09-25

and Coffin as its president and chief
Supt. When his friends and neighbors
saw the fearless manner in which he
entered the work, they became more
bold and as time progressed Levi Cot
fin had about him as brave and coura-
geous band of workers as ever fol-
lowed leader. Ready at all times to
suffer ridicule, prosecutions. threats,
and even social and religious ostra-
cism for the sake of the oppressed in
bondage.
There we're three routes from the
Ohio river which centered at Newport.
one from Cincinnati via West Elkton,
another from Madison, Ind, and a
third from Jeffersonville
From Newport north there were
two chief lines. One directly north via
Winchester or Cabin Creek on to Can
ada by the Michigan route and the
other northeast through Spartansburg
and the Greenville settlement to San
dusky, Ohio, thence across Lake Erie
to Canada and freedom.
These poor fugitives came singly or
many together. There have been as
many as seventeen in the village at
one time. One of my informants said
she remembered her two oldest sisters
getting breakfast for II of these es-
Gaping slaves. They chiefly travelled
at night and remained in hiding dur
ing the day. The arrival of a TRAN was
never announced by the blowing of a
whistle or the ringing of a bell, but
a gentle knock on the door by the pi-
lot or conductor of the road. No mat
ter how many there were in the com.
pany or how dirty, ragged and hungry,
often times cold and wet from the
storms prevailing without, they we're
given a cordial welcome and quietly
invited into the house and all their
present needs supplied. Although there
was no public announcement made of
the arrival of these silent trains, yet
In some mysterious way every anti
slavery worker in the town knew it,
and was constantly on the alert for
slave catchers and the pursuing mas
tiers. Even the small boys became i'm
bued with the same spirit and often
times did good detective work. Many
times were the pursuers in the town
while the slaves were in hiding, but
no slave was ever captured here, and
with very few exceptions were any
overtaken that ever got as far as
Newport.
We can we'll imagine the skill and
tact that was shown in this work
when we remember that for twenty
years the average number received
and cared for and sent on the way to
freedom was annually 100 or more.
making total of over 1000 slaves
that passed through old Newport
Many of these slaves were people
of fine character and intelligence. Let
us mention only two of the most re-
nowned. The most widely known was

ONE OF LYNCHERS
MAY BE ARRESTED
Intimated That Identity Of One of
Mob Has Been Made Known,


Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 21.-It was in
timated in official circles here tonight
that The identity of a member Of the
socalled Vigilance committee" that
lynched Leo NJ. Frank was known to
certain officials and that the informa-
ton probably would be laid before
Gov Harris next week.
Nothing that seemed likely to lead
to identification OF any Of the men
had come to the governor today, he
announced. He said early in the day
that he was not making public all
steps he had taken to investigate the
abduction and lynching and this caus-
cd some speculation. The statement
even was interpreted by some to mean
that he know who some Of the men
were but he later said there was no
such significance to his words.
Gov. Harris today conferred with
Herbert Clay, solicitor for the Blue
Ridge circuit in which Cobb county is
situated, and Judge J. II. Patterson,
superior court Judge in that circuit.
After long conference late today
Judge Patterson let it be known that
he would prepare a special charge to
tho grand jury which will meet Sep
tcmbcr |.
Mr. Clay assured the governor he
would do all within his power to find
