original proposition was that he should otter

arrangement should be made for exhibiting

myself TO discover the identity of the persons
negotiating with me in this matter nor to
convey to any other person any hints or clews
by which any accusation, or even suspicion.
shall be directed against them. The parents
of the child uoite with me in this pledge, aud
agree, if their darling child is by this means
restored to them. tc abandon all attempts to
punish any person connected with his abduc
ton or concealment; they agree never to ap-
pear against such parties, and with myself
will use every endeavor 10 shield them fror
exposure For the last three years these
parents have suffered more than death, and |
now that Mosber and Douglass. the real /
abductors are dead, il is hoped that the !
persons who have the child 10 custody will be 1
willing to accept This reward aud immunity \
The reward shall be paid in current mooey |
