s they came with a paper, purporting to be a promise of
pardon from the court of Delhi, and desired Kamr-ud-din to introduce
them to Ania. He told them to return to him in three days, and he
would do so; but he went off to Ania in the hills, and told him that
he did not think these men had really got the papers from the English
gentlemen--that they appeared to him to be in the service of the
Nawab himself. Ania was, however, introduced to them when they came
back, and requested that the paper might be read to him. Seeing
through their designs, he again made off to the hills, while they
went out in search, they pretended, of a man to read it, but in
reality to get some people who were waiting in the neighbourhood to
assist in securing him, and taking him off to the Nawab.

Finding on their return that Ania had escaped, they offered high
rewards to the two brothers if they would assist in tracing him out;
and Johari was taken to the Nawab, who offered him a very high reward
if he would bring Ania to him, or, at least, take measures to prevent
his going to the English gentlemen. This was communicated to Ania,
who went through Bharatpur to Bareilly, and from Bareilly to
Secunderabad, where he heard, in the beginning of July, that both
Karim and the Nawab were to be tried for the murder, and that the
judge, Mr. Colvin, had already arrived at Delhi to conduct the trial.
He now determined to go to Delhi and give himself up. On his way he
was met by Mr. Simon Fraser's man, who took him to Delhi, when he
confessed his share in the crime, became king's evidence at the
trial, and gave an interesting narrative of the whole affair.

Two water-carriers, in attempting to draw up the brass jug of a
carpenter, which had fallen into the well the morning after the
murder, pulled up the blunderbuss which Karim Khan had thrown into
the same well. This was afterwards recognized by Ania, and the man
whom he pointed out as having made it for him. Two of the four
Gujars, who were mentioned as having visited Karim immediately after
the murder, went to Brigadier Fast, who commanded the troops at
Delhi, fearing that the native officers of the European civil
functionaries might be in the interest of the Nawab, and get them
made away with. They told him that Karim Khan seemed to answer the
description of the man named in the proclamation as the murderer of
Mr. Fraser; and he sent them with a note to the Commissioner, Mr.
Metcalfe, who sent them
