Friend of Friends Friday: Ranaway: Tasco

Daily National Intelligencer 
29 July 1829

$20 DOLLARS REWARD

I WILL give twenty dollars for the apprehension and delivery to me (or confinement in jail, so that I get him again) of a mulatto man named Tasco, who broke out of jail in this place, and made his escape on the night of the 22d instant. Tasco is a bright mulatto, about thirty years of age, five feet seven and a half inches high, spare and delicate, and has a large scar covering nearly all the right side of his face, occasioned by a scald or burn. He belongs to Miss Eliza L. Dade, of Prince William County, Va., and was committed to jail in this place as a runaway, some weeks since. He took with him no clothing except what he had on, which were only a shirt and pantaloons. He has a wife and family living in Washington City or Georgetown, (recent from Alexandria) and it is possible Tasco is lurking in one or the other of those cities, if he has not attempted to make his way to Pennsylvania.
