An excerpt from the "Cincinnati Correspondence: Letters to the Editor of the Bugle" section published on the third page of the May 25th, 1850 edition, “[…] a white boy drove eight colored people, belonging to a widow in Boone County, Ky., in her own wagon to Covington, and on Saturday morning crossed to this city at Fifth St. ferry. The wagon was covered up with blankets and white cloth in such a way as to conceal the ‘negroes,’ and have the appearance of a market wagon. They all escaped except the white boy, who was taken, but professes entire innocence and ignorance of the whole design, being merely induced by the colored people to drive them over. In these exchanges Kentucky has been the loser, having captured one and lost eight.”
