of Camden county, in which he was confined under a charge of having
murdered one Protector Caps,
Now, therefore, I, John C. Edwards by virtue of authority in me vested
by law, do hereby offer a reward of Two Hundred Dollars for the
apprehension of the said Augustine Wolfe and his delivery to the Sheriff
of Camden County.
