and it was noticeable that, in the rush to get out, the officers got out
last. The nigger Jim had got far away from the house by a carriage
left at the door by somebody.

slavery paper:
DOY AND HIS RESCUERS.
A young man, who came into Elwood Sunday evening last, states
that he met Doy and his party at Cottonwood Spring, about ten miles
out, that morning. Doy was in a wagon with nine other men. There
were also three men on horseback, making twelve in all besides Doy.
The young man had met two wagons beyond the Spring, with several
men in each; who, as he was told, belonged to the same party.
The men with Doy had stopped to take breakfast, and the young
man who brought the information had a conversation with them.
They told him all about what had occurred, and stated particularly
the manner in which they had effected the escape. They said that
they had quite a strong party, and that they had men posted at convenient points all the way from the river to the jail; that, to avoid
pursuit, they took, or thought they had taken, every skiff from this
side of the river.
Doy seemed to be quite unwell, and low-spirited; which, the party
stated, required them to travel very slowly. It was the intention evidently to take Doy to his home, but it is not likely he will remain there.
We think it entirely possible that Doy may be retaken. It will be
seen by an advertisement in our paper to-day, that Sheriff Morgan
offers a reward of $1000 for his rearrest. This is highly commendable in our sheriff, and may effect the object.
We think it highly important also to learn who the men were that
made the rescue. Some of their names no doubt can be ascertained,
and, if so, steps will probably be taken to have them punished for the
crime.
