Civil War, William Quantrill from Miscellaneous Sources
    

Hart, alias Quantrell, arrested

April 5, 1861; Daily Times (Leavenworth, Kansas)

The Osawatomie Herald notices the arrest of Hart, alias Quantrell, who has made himself somewhat notorious as a thief and kidnapper. It was he who persuaded three young men to engage in a slave-conspiracy, at Independence, last winter, and betrayed them into the hands of the authorities.

The Herald does not state what is the nature of the charge now preferred against him. He has been lodged in jail, to await his trial.
