Notes: This extradition paper was found among loose papers in Governor 
Collier’s Executive Office files in the Alabama State Archives. It was 
evidently never picked-up by the men named. William B. Hall was a witness to 
the crime. His fear, and reckless words, likely led to the gunfire. See his 
testimony and that of others in the two Alabama Supreme Court appeal 
transcripts on this site. Joseph Noles(Knowles)was captured in Dooly Co. 
Georgia by two Dallas Co. men, and tried twice in Cahaba, then the Dallas 
County seat. Apparently local details of his trials no longer exist; I found 
only brief docket entries, in a somewhat limited search in the Courthouse 
Annex. The paper shown here was a tri-folded legal document with the words 
below on the outside cover-(that image is not shown):

“The State vs. Joseph Noles

Demand on the Governor of Georgia

Iss. 4th March 1853”
