Arrest of a Murderer (1836)

We learn from a friend at Selma, Alabama, that Thomas CURTIS, who murdered Thomas CASH in Anson county, in NC about the year 1823, and fled, has been apprehended in Alabama, and committed to jail in Mobile.  Judge GARROW, before whom he was examined, has informed the Governor of this state of the fact: and we learn from his Excellency that measures are now in train for causing CURTIS to be returned to this state for trial.
