It appears by the annexed papers, duly authenticated according to the Laws of our State, that George Maxwell stands charged by Indictment with the crime of "Murder in the First Degree," committed in the county of Montgomery, in said State, on the 6th day of October, A.D. 1864, and it has been represented that the said George Maxwell has fled from the Justice of this State, and has taken refuge within the State of Kentucky.

Now Therefore, Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution and Laws of the United States, in such case made and provided, I do hereby require that the said George Maxwell be apprehended and delivered to Swift Raper who is hereby duly authorized to receive the said George Maxwell and convey him to the State of Ohio, there to be dealt with according to law.
