A NEW LAW BEING ENFORCED-Mayor Hawkins, of this city, yesterday issued the first warrant, under a late law passed by the Legislature of Kentucky, making it a penal office for any citizen of this Commonwealth, who left the State and took up arms against the Government and subsequently returned.

The warrant is for the arrest of Marion Hukill, who is alleged to have served at one time in the Confederate Army.  He was seen, a few days ago at Jamestown, where Marshal Bennett went yesterday in pursuit of him.

RECAPTURE OF A PRISONER-Marion Hukill, a citizen of Newport, who was taken prisoner by the Union Army at Island No. 10, a short time ago and subsequently escaped from one of the military prisons, was retaken yesterday by Colonel Guthrie, late of the First Kentucky Regiment, and lodged in the Newport Barracks.  A warrant for his arrest has been in the hands of Deputy U. S. Marshall Bennett of this city for several days past, but the sly fellow has taken good care to keep out of the way until yesterday, when, yielding to a strong desire of visiting his old haunts again, he proceeded to Cincinnati, where, as stated above, he fell into the hands of the Federal authorities again.

He expressed a strong aversion to being arrested by the civil authorities and upon seeing Marshall Bennett approach he instantly gave himself up to Colonel Guthrie.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, Saturday, 10 May 1862, page 3

The loyal and peaceably disposed people of Newport will be glad to hear that Marion Hukill has been nabbed and sent to Camp Chase having been arrested by Col. Guthrie. Hukill is the same man who stabbed a man in Cincinnati and helped to mob, tar and feather G F Greisner, several months ago, then fled to join the Southern Army to escape the penalty of his crime. He is a very dangerous ruffian and richly deserves hanging.
