Peculiar bond tale from Hazel Green Kentucky
A traveling salesman recounts a curious bond case in Hazel Green Kentucky where William Williams, a colored man, was arrested for passing a bad bill. With no property, his sweetheart offered to marry him, becoming his wife in a rush, and his bondsmen posted a bond binding Williams to appear before the grand jury while promising to deliver his wife if he fled. The tale, cited by the Detroit Free Press, is described as the queerest bond ever heard.
