Description
From the article, "On Tuesday night last, (five men, a woman, and two children) belonging to sundry citizens of Mason county, Kentucky, made their escape, and have not yet been recovered. There is strong ground of suspicion that a portion, if not all of the fugitives, fled in concert, and that they were aided by white confederates in crossing the river. Tee Maysville Eagle calls for an association of Slave holders for the protection of their property. '"
