An account of escape, recapture, and rescue of a 'fugitive slave,' and subsequent indictment of the rescuers. From Sabin: "An extraordinary case, under the Fugitive Slave Act. Wellington is located thirty-six miles southwest of Cleveland; Oberlin is nine miles north of Wellington. In January, 1856, a negro slave, called John, was missing from a plantation in Mason county, Kentucky. In August, 1856, a friend of the owner recognized John at Oberlin, and with the aid of friends from Kentucky arrested him with the intention of taking him back. They took him to Wellington, where he was rescued by a large body of persons from Oberlin and Wellington---hence the title. Thirty-seven of the rescuers were indicted by the State, and confined for many months in the Cleveland jail, while the trial progressed. They were finally acquitted and great was the rejoicing. The account of the affair is contained in 280 double column, solidly printed pages."---THOMSON'S Bibliography of Ohio.…
