“Arrested”-Weekly Alabama Journal-March 19 1853, Montgomery AL-[see notes below]

“MURDERER ARRESTED--Joseph Noals, who was advertised as having murdered Geo. T. 
Sharp, at Burnsville, in Dallas Co., on the 14th ult., passed through this 
place yesterday, in the custody of Mr. B.J. McCaine. He was arrested on Satur-
.... ...(crease in original)....... 
---- at the residence of his brother, 
in Dooly county, Georgia, by Mr. McCaine and Mr. A.B. King, of Dallas, who 
started in pursuit of him the morning of the murder, and by persevering effort 
succeeded in arresting him at the time and place stated above. A reward of five 
hundred dollars was offered for his apprehension, and the crime of which he 
stands accused is represented as being of a most atrocious and outrageous 
character. In addition to the above, he is charged with the commission of the 
most revolting crime known to the criminal calender, and if all that is said of 
him is true, no (no) punishment would be too severe to visit upon him.”

The above article was published in this newspaper on the date noted. Facts 
concerning the Dooly Co. GA brother-and many other clues, were found in the 
journal of James B. Knowles of Henry Co. GA. That diary is now posted on the 
Henry Co. “Archives Project” website. Joseph Noles, and eldest son, Thomas, 
found nephew-and cousin, James B. Knowles in school in Henry Co.-before 
continuing in their flight to Dooly Co. where brother James Knowles Sr. had 
moved in 1850. Joseph "Noles" was arrested there! Find additional information 
about this intriguing, yet unfinished, story on the Knowles In Georgia website:
