An Old Offender
At a late session of the court
for Highland county, Ohio, Asa Plummer, an old man aged
about 70 years, was tried on an indictment charging him with
setting fire to a barn of Mr. I. Pavey, of that county
a few weeks ago. - He was found guilty of the crime, and
sentenced to ten years imprisonment and hard laborer in the
state penitentiary. |

Kidnapping in Highland County, Ohio - We learn from
the Hillsborough News, that an examination of a Mr.
Cogzell, from Tennessee, and two persons of Ohio, has,
for two days, been going forward in Hillsborough on a
charge of kidnapping. The person whom it was charged
was attempted to be kidnapped was a colored girl who had
been sent as servant to a lady, by the Tennessean, to Ohio
last summer, she being his slave in Tennessee. And it
is alleged that he, in company with the two persons from
Ohio implicated in the offence, attempted to take her back
into slavery; for which attempt they were arrested, on the
charge of an attempt to kidnap. The girl had put
herself under the protection of Mr. James Sloane.
The parties were held to bail in the sum of five hundred
dollars, conditioned for their appearance at the Court of
Common Pleas of Highland county, to answer the charge of
kidnapping - The black woman was admitted to testify
as a witness in this case, perhaps the first case of the
kind in Highland, sine the repeal of the Black Laws. |
