to ret lately then)The Kidnapping t a*e. less dOn Saturday morning, as will be seen invad i by our report of the case,the writ of habeas I j corpus, in re Lewis Early was returned ^ ^ g- before Judge Dickson, Mr. J. W. Cald*I well appearelt;l for the Petitioner, and the I Hon. Geo. E. Pugli for the Marshal.—, After hearing arguments, Judge Dickson j r* declined to interfere. So the examina- jnterj- tion was continued before Commissioner aeros ) Crowne, who, late in the afternoon, after con, i t hearing the concluding arguments of thee claimant and defence, decided that the jze L‘ man’s freedom had not been established,^ and accordingly remands! him to th*' mitte s custody of the Marshal, to le, by him, he co e delivered to his owner. Upon the rendi- in n'-' tion of this decision, the counsel for Ear- d 1term1 ly made application to Judge Leavitt for j tjlat^ a writ of habeas corpus to issue in behalf j the iiof Early against the U. S. Marshall, Sif-'j dL^ ford, Deputy U. S. Marshal Man^on and a^tK James Kilgore, returnable on Monday at *0 je 10 a. m. We understand that the Mar- expr^ shal said if such a writ issi.ed, he wo Id Uiinrespect it. I t while the clerk was inn-1 king out copies of the writ (requiring. 1only about eight minutes time, tlieorigi-nal having already been prepared in an- happticipation of the event,) the claimant, themguarded by his Cabell county friends,and nc0^,(’ the U. S. Marshall and lwlt; Deputv, ha I rop'o^ taken Early through the hall of the gov- ^ta{l^ erntnent building, and down the stairs, Theplaced him in a carriage which was in Mty.n waiting, drove rapidly to the river, and 1^ before the writ could be served, were in vKentucky, and consequently without the tv {(1S jurisdiction of the Court. i who10 During the examination, as we learn, an‘|l.v some colored men had offered 81.000 for an^,a* Lewis, but the claimant refused to accept jirmIs it. About the time the decision was ren- Adnl* dered, the claimant acceded to the propo- at tll~ j sal. But the colored men, thinking there kis^iY' would be another chance for his libcrtv \pub: before Judge Leavitt, refused to give the ■ptor, We understand that Mr. Jolifle has in- won er stituted a suit in behalf of Early, against ^rc James Kilgore, for false imprisonment. ait ‘lr lire damages are laid at 82,000, and the case is to le tried on the 30th inst. lls This procedure is decidedly novel in- (fugitive slave cases, and evidently sur-prised the claimant and his attorney.— ;)st [ Cin.
