p g. As false reports may, or perhaps have already
counteracted my endeavors in recovering the above
mentioned scoundrel, take this occasion to guard an
honest energetic community against the reports OF
light minded or designing persons, who might other
wise lessen the requisite vigilance by representing him
as secured orrestored to me- when in reality he is not;
and moreover to inform them that will announce III
this, or one paper in this District, his apprehension
or recovery by me whenever it takes place. l have
been lately informed that he contrved to obtain, at
the time of his eopement, forged papers, showing
that he was then free, and assumed name quite d:f-
ferent from that of Norragc. He will no doubt
change his former appearance as much rs possoe 10
avoid dete ction. My friends, and the honest portion
of my fellow citizens, who may be travelling IN differ.
ent parts of this or any other country, earnestly
lci,ed to notice the above description OF this artful
scoundre and aid in securing this violaor OF all law,
who exercised, even without suspicion, consi'
derable time before his detection, felon'ous n
every colour, and by these he has been assisted
1 have no doubt, in making his escape. There
is think probability Of his HAVING sought refuge in
one of the non-savc.hodng states cities OF the u
nion OF perhaps in aforeign country. The above re-
ward in every respect will be paid with great pleasure
and at short notice, IT the above advertisements DC
complied with faithfully.
