In the matter of Adam Marshall }
Mr. Doyle arrested him last Sunday night 2 weeks ago.
Comm. him to Jail 3 or 4 days afterwards. did not pay anything
for keeping him in jail. I sent to his mistress the day after I
arrested him. am authorized to arrest all colored people
he told me first he come within 4 miles of Lexington
Mo. against said he lived at Bardstown. and finally said
he belonged to Mary Logan Smith. I thought his pass was
forged. I know he is the property of Mrs. Smith I know her [?]
I telegraphed to Mrs. Smith. dispatched from Doyle to Smith & from Smith to Doyle.
Jo C. Bull Mr. Cochran. If this is her hand writing looking
at the pass it has changed much in the last 3 or 4 yrs. she
used to write her name Mary L. Smith, she is 65 yrs old.
never has lived there at Lexington Mo or in Fayette County. he was
raised in Bardstown Mo. twas not her habit to allow em[?] to go
at large. was very indulgent to em. was another Mary Smith
think her name she used to sign her name Mary L. Smith.
she wrote a full round hand. I know that is Bullocks
hand writing.
John C Bull. I corresponded. I wrote the substance of the pass and asked them if it was genuine.
