The Georgia Enterprise October 1, 1869
$1,000 REWARD
GEORGIA
By Rufus B. Bullock, Gov. of Said State.
      WHEREAS, It has been officially communicated to this Department, that on 
the night of the 24th of August, ultimo, Dr. H. H. HARLEY was shot and killed 
while engaged in wristing at his residence, in the county of Glynn, in this 
State, by a party or parties unknown: and
     Whereas, The Foreman of the Grand Jury of said county of Glynn certifies 
to me that no evidence sufficient to warrant the arrest of any party has come 
to the knowledge of said body, and that it is their desire, as well as the 
desire of all good citizens of Glynn county, to bring the murderer to justice; 
and
     Whereas, The said Foreman of the Grand Jury, in accordance with a 
resolution of that body, suggests the offering of a suitable reward as the 
means of insuring the arrest of the assassin or assassins of the aforesaid Dr. 
H. H. Harley;
     Now, therefore, in order to vindicate the majesty of the law and the 
sacredness of human life, and in order more certainly to bring to speedy trial 
and punishment the guilty party or parties, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor and 
Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia 
thereof, have thought proper to issue this, my proclamation, hereby, offering a 
reward of One Thousand Dollars for the apprehension and delivery of the person 
or persons engaged in the perpetration of this atrocious murder as hereinbefore 
recited, with evidence sufficient to convict, to the Sheriff of said county of 
Glynn.
     And I do moreover charge and require all officers in this State, both 
civil and military, to be vigilant in endeavoring to apprehend the said party 
or parties, in order that he may be brought to trial for the offense with which 
he stands charged.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the State, at the Capitol in Atlanta, 
the 28th day of September in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred 
and Sixty-Nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the 
Ninety-Fourth.
RUFUS B. BULLOCK, Governor

DAVID G. COTTING, Secretary of State
