Respd Sir
Herewith I send the petition of the County Judge to gether with a copy of the indictment against James Kellar for murdering Jno Dills of this Co.
Kellar is about 23 years of age, tall and slender, hight about 6 feet one or two inches, light hair, fair complxion & blue Eyes. He generally wears weares a pair of black false whiskers. He was once connected with the Rebel army under the command of H Marshall; but roams over the County sometimes dressed as a federal soldier & sometimes in janes. More recently he has gone without his false whiskers.
Sect 22 page 374 1st Vol Rev Stat Authorizes the Gov to issue the proclamation offering a reward for the apprehension of criminals.
Yours Respy
