100 Dollars Reward.
BROKE gaol and made his escape a MULATTO MAN, by the name of Purple Touser, a noted thief, about five feet, seven or eight inches high, a stout made, well set fellow; has a scar from his nose down through his upper lip, occasioned by the stoke of an ax, which makes him show his upper teeth very much when he talks or laughs, wears his hair tied. Whoever will take up said runaway and lodge him in any gaol, and let the subscriber know, shall receive the above reward from me.
