Tues. April 6, 1819,   Edenton Gazette April 6, 1819
   RALEIGH-- A man by the name of BAKER was brought to this place and lodged 
in our jail a few days ago. The public are indebted to the vigilence of M. 
M'RAE of Fayetteville, (one of the best post-masters in the United States) and 
the assiduous enterprise of MR. LUTHER of Moore County, for the apprehension 
of this old offender. BAKER, it is believed, has twice deserted from the Army, 
and has two or three wives. He was concerned (as he accomplice confesses) in 
the robbery of the mail between Fayetteville and Lumberton. -- He has several 
times altered his name. -- We forbear to state more till after the trial. --  
Raleigh Star-- 26th ult.
