Joshua Glover was a runaway slave, who sought asylum in Racine in the early part of the year 1854. Racine was a way station on the route of the underground railway, and the abolition sentiment had made considerable headway among its people. The colored slave found employment in a mill. Glover was captured and taken to a Milwaukee jail. A mob broke into the jail and rescued Glover, who then escaped to Canada via the Underground Railroad. This article is the trial of one of Glover’s rescuers.
