Escaped from my custody, in this city on the afternoon of 26th July, 1861 James'o. Davis, at present on trial at Louisa Court-House on a charge of defrauding Mrs. Mills of two slaves.
Davis was brought to Richmond on a writ of habeas corpus. He hails from Memphis Tenn.
Said Davis is about 5 feet 10 inches, or 6 feet in height: dark complexion, with black hair and eyes; wears a goatee; very bad teeth.
Had on when last seen, black cloth coat and pants, black satin vest, and a black slouch hat. It is probable that Davis is yet in the city.
