The narrative of John Doy, of Lawrence, Kansas ...: Printed for the author.

APPENDIX B. shot Mr. Thos. Barber, formerly of Ohio, on the open prairie, is now a purser in the navy at a salary of two thousand dollars a year and pickings. Fred. Emory, leader of the ruffians who forced all those inhabitants of Leavenworth that desired a Free-State and dared to say so, on board of steam-boats, and sent them down the Missouri River, compelling them to pay their own fare, and who also headed the mob that shot the noble Phillips, has a situation in the Land Office, at Fort Scott, in Kansas. Jack Henderson, who was legally arrested for altering the returns of the few votes given at Delaware Crossing to some hundreds, was, after he made his escape, rewarded with the office of mail agent. McLean, who acted with the notorious Calhoun and hid away in a candle-box the returns of votes. sent to the Capitol, which votes gave the Free-State men a majority, received a situation in the Surveyor's office in Nebraska. Secretary Woodson, who, as acting governor in the absence of Gov. Geary, issued a proclamation in Missouri to raise a militia for Kansas, and thereby caused three thousand men to invade our soil with the intent to slaughter our citizens and take our property, was made receiver at the Land Office in Kickapoo, Kansas. - And Gen. Whitefield, who brought large mobs in 1855-6 to outvote the inhabitants of Kansas and outrage the peaceful citizens, was appointed registrar in the same office. I might greatly multiply instances in which political tools have been thus rewarded, but these are sufficient. 122 .1
