Description
We are informed that another negro-stealing case came off in the vicinity of Lawrence a few days ago, in which one of the McGees, of Franklin, was shot and severely wounded.
The party of kidnappers is said to have consisted of Jake McGee, Jake Hurd, and several other persons, who attempted to take 3 negroes, and succeeded in getting one to be free. He is doubtless sold into slavery ere this. We have no farther particulars of the transaction.
(Researcher's note: Slave trader and kidnapper Jake Hurd was known to operate in Platte County, Missouri.)Date(s) of Creation
