RACHEL PARKER, free colored girl, kidnapped from house of Joseph S. Miller, West Nottingham, Penn., by the “notorious Elkton Kidnapper, McCreary,” Dec. 31, 1851.  Mr. Miller tracked the kidnappers to Baltimore, and tried to recover the girl, but in vain.  On his way home, he was induced to leave the cars, and was undoubtedly murdered,—­it was supposed in revenge of the death of Gorsuch at Christiana.  Mr. Miller’s body was found suspended from a tree.  A suit was brought in the Circuit Court of Baltimore County, for the freedom of Rachel Parker, Jan. 1853.  Over sixty witnesses, from Pennsylvania, attended to testify to her being free-born, and that she was not the person she was claimed to be; although, in great bodily terror, she had, after her capture, confessed herself the alleged slave!  So complete and strong was the evidence in her favor, that, after an eight days’ trial, the claimants abandoned the case, and a verdict was rendered for the freedom of Rachel, and also of her sister, Elizabeth Parker, who had been previously kidnapped, and conveyed to New Orleans.

—­> McCreary was demanded by Gov.  Bigler, of Pennsylvania, to be delivered up for trial on a charge of kidnapping; but Gov.  Lowe, of Maryland, refused to surrender him.  See Standard, July 2, 1853.
