| The widow having determined to increase the rewards |
| heretofore offered by me (in my proclamation of July 29), |
| and no result having yet been obtained, and suggestions |
| having been made that the rewards were not sufficiently |
| distributive or specific, the offers in the previous |
| proclamation are hereby superseded by the following: |
| |
| A REWARD of $30,000 will be paid for the arrest and |
| conviction of the murderer of BENJAMIN NATHAN, who was |
| killed in his house, No. 12 West Twenty-third Street, New |
| York, on the morning of Friday, July 29. |
| |
| A REWARD of $1,000 will be paid for the identification and |
| recovery of each and every one of the three Diamond Shirt |
| Studs which were taken from the clothing of the deceased on |
| the night of the murder. Two of the diamonds weighed, |
| together, 1, 1/2, and 1/3, and 1/16 carats, and the other, a |
| flat stone, showing nearly a surface of one carat, weighed |
| 3/4 and 1/32. All three were mounted in skeleton settings, |
| with spiral screws, but the color of the gold, setting of |
| the flat diamond was not so dark as the other two. |
| |
| A REWARD of $1,500 will be paid for the identification and |
| recovery of one of the watches, being the Gold anchor |
| Hunting-case Stem-winding Watch, No. 6657, 19 lines, or |
| about two inches in diameter, made by Ed. Perregaux; or for |
| the Chain and Seals thereto attached. The Chain is very |
| massive, with square links, and carries a Pendant Chain with |
| two seals, one of them having the monogram "B.N.," cut |
| thereon. |
| |
| A REWARD of $300 will be given for information leading to |
| the identification and recovery of an old-fashioned |
| open-faced Gold Watch, with gold dial, showing rays |
| diverging from the center, and with raised figures; believed |
| to have been made by To
