A PROCLAMATION.
YI7IIERF. AS I have received information of
'* a murder committed in the month of
August last, in Chester district, on the body
if William Storment, of the same place, by
three persons of the following descriptions,
to wit;
THOMAS STORMEXT, who is about
thirty-four years old, five feet eight or nine
inches high, his eyes full and grey, his hair
brown, and beard sandy 1 his face full and
marked with gun powder, speaks slowly,
with simnStlung of an Irish accent, lie Was
born and married in this state, and has two
children. It is supposed that he is in the
western parts of the United States.
DAVID HESBROOk’S, (a Shoe-maker)
is about 23 years old, five feet six or eight
inches high, dark hair and eyes, a round face,
with scarcely any heard, horn in Virginia or ,
North-Carolina, and came to this state three
or four years ago ; lias no family, and is sup
posed to have gone hack to the pHice ofhis
birth, as his father still lives there.
HOIVF.L R. MARSHALL, is about twen-
ty-one years of age, six feet two incites high.
Ids eyes, eye brows and hair are black, and
his skin dark. He has what is generally
termed a cow lick in his forehead, and Is of
down cast looks: Upon examination there
will be found a large scar around the middle
ofhis body, occasioned by a scald when young.
It is said that he was horn in this state, ami
thought that he will go to Rowils in Geor
gia, who is his uncle, and is known by being
an owner of part of Beach Island. He will
probably go from Ihrere to Natchez, or some
other place in the West of the United
States : And whereas it is highly expedient
that persons of such evil disposition and a-
trocious conduct should be speedily brought
to punishment; Now therefore, I have thought
proper to issue this my Proclamation, offering
a reward of SIX BUXBRED DOLLARS,
to be paid to any person or persons, who
shall deliver the aforesaid murderers to the
Sheriff or Jailer of Chester district, or the
sum of two hundred dollars for the delivery
of either oftlie aforesaid assassins to the per
sons afrfresaid.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
