TO THE PUBLIC
Having understood that there are some malicious and slanderous reports
in circulation through the country, tending to the injury of my
character, I am reluctantly compelled, for the purpose of stopping the
foul mouth of slander, to repel them by laying before the public the
following brief and candid statement of facts, with the annexed
certificates, which corroborate my statement.
About the 25th of July last, a footman, who passed by the name of
Fukeway, called at my house, and asked permission to stay all night,
which was granted. On the following morning, he inquired of me whether
there were any good Cypress brakes on Little Red River. I replied that
there were and mentioned some convenient places where it could be
procured for raftings. He then observed, that, if he could get any
person to join him in making a raft, he would remain and go to work. My
son, Hiram, immediately replied that he would join him. A bargain was
then concluded between them; and Fukeway remained at my house three or
four days until they could make the necessary arrangements for
commencing their raft. On their departure for the swamps of Little Red
River, Fukeway placed in my hands fifty dollars, in specie, to keep for
him until his return.
Two or three days before the late August Election, this man and my son
returned. On that day, after the Election, Fukeway came to me, and asked
for the money which he had deposited with me for safekeeping. I handed
it to him, and he counted it in the presence of Mr. James E. Graham, a
young man, who was living at my house, and at the same time observed
that it was correct. On the same day, Fukeway, and this young man went
to the house of Mr. Wm. Magness - the latter returned home about dusk,
and the former did not return until late the next morning. He remained
at my house until after dinner, then, changed his clothes, and, about 3
o'clock in the afternoon, went out, and took the road towards Mr. John
Magness, since which time I have neither seen or heard of him. The cause
of his leaving my house in this sudden manner, is unknown to me. I was
confined to my bed with sickness at the time. He left at my house, one
old suit of cotton clothes, and two 3-point blankets, which are the only
articles belonging to him left in my possession. On the day that he was
at Wm. Magness', there was a report in circulation that he had murdered
a man in Illinois, where he formerly resided, which was probably the
cause of his going off so abruptly.
When he left my house, he was indebted to me $7, for boarding and
whiskey. While he remained with me, he behaved very civilly, and passed
by the name of Fukeway. Since he left my house, I have understood that
that is not his name. He is apparently about 35 years of age, dark
complexion, about 5 feet 10 inches high, closely built, down look, and
have very dark whiskers.
The foregoing is a plain unvarnished statement of facts, and I leave the
public to judge from them, and from the annexed certificates, whether I
am guilty of the charges which have been maliciously alleged against me.

CERTIFICATES
Pulaski County, A.T. September 21, 1825
We do hereby certify, that the man who lived at Mr. Brown's (whom all
this slanderous report has been about) absconded from Johnston County,
in the state of Illinois, for murdering a man at our house, and that we
have never heard of this base villain since, until he stopped at Mr.
Brown's. This man when he stopped at Mr. Brown's, passed by the name of
Henry Fukeway; but that is not his name, for I have known him ever since
he was about eight years old, and his parents before him, and from my
own knowledge, they were all the grandest of rascals. I heard of him at
Mr. Brown's and sent him word that I was coming to see him, and I have
no doubt but that was the cause of him leaving Mr. Brown in the way that
he did. His real name is Henry Maglothling. He left his wife and 2 or 3
children when he absconded from Illinois.

Pulaski County, A.T.
September 21, 1825
I do certify, that about four weeks ago, when I was at the Post of
Arkansas, a man by the name of James, told me that he came up from New
Orleans to that place with a man who called his name Fukeway, and that
when he left the Post, he went off in a very unbecoming manner, and
without paying his boarding bill for the time he remained there. Mr.
James also stated to me, that, when Fukeway left the post, he stole from
him a pair of pantaloons which cost him $8, and two silk hankerchiefs,
and tried to rob him of all his money. This statement Mr. James made to
me in the presence of three or four respectable citizens of the Post,
and it can be proven beyond the possibility of a doubt.
John P. Brown.
Pulaski County, A.T.
September 21, 1825
I do certify, that, I was at Mr. Brown's at the time that Fukeway left
there. I heard him call on Mr. Brown for the money he had deposited with
him, and saw it delivered to him. I also saw him count the money, and he
observed at the same time in my presence that is was correct. I cannot
account for his leaving Mr. Brown's unless it was in consequence of the
reports about him which were in circulation for a few days previous to
his starting. I saw him start from Mr. Brown's, about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, and he did not return again. We all thought at the time that
he had gone on a visit to some of the neighbors.
James E. Graham
Pulaski County, A.T.
September 21, 1825
I do certify, that the man, who has been reported to have been killed
for his money, by Mr. Brown, went by the name Fukeway, but that is can
be proved that that was not his name. I was acquainted with this same
man in 1808, and on the day that he left Mr. Brown's he confessed to me,
that his name was Maglothling.

CHEROKEE AGENCY
CRAWFORD COUNTY, A.T.
September 25th, 1825
A dark sorrel mare, with white eyes, a large star in her forehead, and
snip on her nose, was brought to this Agency, as an Estray, by a
Cherokee Indian, in July last. The star and snip are connected with a
very small streak of white. She is three years old, unbroken, and about
thirteen hands high; her left hind foot and both fore feet are white.
On the 21st ult. an old white or gray horse was likewise brought to this
Agency, as an Estray, by a Cherokee Indian. He is about fourteen hands
high, has what is generally termed a "Spanish Brand" on his left
buttock, and a considerable and apparently confirmed lameness in his
right shoulder.
Should these animals not be proven and taken away, by the proper owners,
within three months from this date, they will be sold, at public
auction, and the proceeds disposed of according to law.
Applications, or letters, respecting them, addressed to the United
States Agent of Indian Affairs, at the Dardanelles, will receive
immediate attention.

STOP THE MURDERER!
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Is offered for the apprehension and securing of
WILLIAM HILL,
Found guilty of the murder of William M. Perry, by an inquest held upon
the body of said Perry, at Potosi, Washington County, Missouri, on the
17th of September 1825. A part of the inquisition rendered by the Jury
in the above case, is in the following words: "That William Hill
feloniously did kill and murder the said William M. Perry, by shooting
him with a rifle gun, the ball whereof entered his right breast and
lodged under his left shoulder; and that he was shot by the said William
Hill, at a place commonly called Lambert's Diggings, in the Township of
Liberty, in the county aforesaid, about nine o'clock in the morning.
That the body of the said William M. Perry, was brought from the place
aforesaid, to the house of John Perry, where the inquest is now held."
After Hill had committed the crime aforesaid, he fled, and has not since
been heard of. It is believed that he may make off to some neighboring
State or Territories, and for the purpose of facilitating his detection,
we give the following description of his person: He is near six feet two
inch high, bony, about fifty years of age, walks a little stooped, is
athletic for his years, color of his eyes not recollected, but believed
to be grey; hair originally dark, but now considerably grey; of smooth
address, and exceedingly plausible manner; good teeth, chews tobacco,
fond of gaming and drinking, and in fine is addicted to every vice. His
trade, in former years was that of a house joiner and mill-wright. The
above reward will be paid by the subscribers, to any person or persons
that will so secure the said William Hill, that he may be brought to
justice.

LOST CHILD - We understand, that, within the last two or three
weeks, a son of Mr. Benjamin Clark, of Hempstead County, Aged about
three years, has disappeared in a very mysterious manner, and suspicions
are entertained that he has been stolen. Between 100 and 200 of the
citizens of the neighborhood had been searching for him in every
direction for five or six days, but had discovered no traces of him when
we heard last from that quarter. The child had been at play a short
distance from the house, attended by a little negro girl, who reported
that a stranger on horseback had taken him upon his horse, and rode off
with him.
