AlsoThree witnesses—John Whiteman, Eliza S. Lllnd I party having the negro in charge, were a fewWhiteman, and Mary Miller —testified that they had known James Waggoner and his b. father since 1852, and that they had resided in rOhio since they knew them, and were always Lot'sregarded as free people. | h®1The affidavit of Joseph Thomas of Cincin--nati, was read, stating that James Waggoner | Tei had worked lor him as a teamster, and that during the time Peter Waggoner had visited James, and they recognised each other as father and son. The affidavit of the father was read, but the testimony of a negro not Ma* 8being legal in Kentucky, R was not admitted *lJyh)re' | as evidence. We give its pith however. Peter gee0states he was a slave, but had been set thatfree by the will of his master, Peteracqu:Waggoner (for whom he was named,) whic5t' I In Wythe County, Virginia, in 1828. That he K1™w* j removed to Ohio in 1831, and that James was caBiobom in Brown County, Ohio, since that year, amsand had never been in Virginia. The evidence on the other side showed nothing whatever to oper)disprove the foregoing facts, but two men thatfrom Virginia, who, it appears, came here in of Msearch for a fugitive slave, stated that they Lindkhew,Peter Waggoner, the father of James, of wand that he had been set free in 1828, but Anthat the will was annulled in 1843; One of Adelthese witnesses also stated that James re- .***KV hoj sembled a negro who had ran away from ,mn Jacob Waggoner about five years ego, but he VonBI© . could not identify him. It will be seen that the bJames was bom in Ohio before the will was peri«annulled, two facts which, admittiug that that Thej. could affect the freedom of his- father, could 411 *not affect his. Mi,»After hearing the testimony, the Mayor *****!. stated that he had no donbt from the first 0 ®that James Waggoner was a slave, and had a|heard nothing to disprove him such;therefore, ruptihe remanded him to jail. Hardly had he reach- fills t£n- I ed it, when he was hastened into a buggy and stepiof driven off to Alexandria to the auction block, denz’be An Injunction, however, which had been sued NoWss, { out, was immediately dispatched, but the \,]p)readlt;er minutes ahead. As the party neared Alexan-of dria, CoL Bmalley with one of his fastest opj^horses drove up, passed the pursuers and Thkm reached the Sheriff's party, informed them of ana jful I the injunction on the way, took the negro j gMig» I into his buggy and reached Alexandria first. I Tim be No one in that place either saw or heard of the lt;ts, the sale, and when the injunction partywe j reached it they heard that the negro was pnr- j ®®e ’mmms chased by Dr. J. Q. A, Foster of Newport, foror I $700 on his. note endorsed by a man named _ ^the Nelso, who is pecuniarily irresponsible; but I 0pei•an the negro had been spirited away, nor could termual I he be found or heard of after the strictest 0f Iaearrh and lnanirv.
