Description

The Leavenworth Times says: A Mr. Green of Platte County was arrested yesterday by the Provost Guard on the charge of kidnapping. If found guilty he ought to swing. It is about time that kidnapping was played out in Kansas. (Researcher's note: The allegation of "kidnapping" during this time period is understood to be the abduction of Free Blacks in Kansas and their return to a Slave State.)
