Sheriffs;; Badly Beaten

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 80.
Kidnapped, apparently by com
plicity of the local police depart
ment, Samuel Kennedy, Negro
resident of Indiana, is being
rushed in an automobile, in the
charge Of Georgia deputy sheriffs,
to a prison cell in the South.
A letter smuggled out of the
county Jail at Henderson, KY
where the party stopped off for
the night, says:
"I have been handcuffed all the
time since leaving Tere Haute.
l have been beaten cruelty; my
head is tied up and I am bloody
all over. Everywhere they stopped
they beat me uD and there are
several holes in my head. Stop
him if you can, before he gets to
Georgia"
Kennedy was arrested in Chi
cago, and charged with breaking
jail in Georgia. He offered proof
of an alibi, and was allowed to go
on bonds to Indiana, to gather
evidence. At Terre Haute he was
thrown in Jail, anG again got out
on habeas corpus proceedings. The
Georgia officers who had followed
