HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has been pleased to direct that a Reward of £500 be paid for such information as will lead to the apprehension and conviction of a [man] named George Daniels, who is alleged to have shot, on Sunday, the 11th February, 1912, one Arthur Cogzell, while the said Arthur Cogzell was accompanying a girl named Edith Anderson from Turkey Station, where she was employed, to her home at Bustard Head, and who, after shooting the said Arthur Cogzell, took the girl away with him, neither of whom has since been seen nor found; and that a Pardon be granted to any person who may be concerned in the crime, not being the principal offender, who may give such information.
