Fraser's murder. They promised to get everything
done for him through a friend in the police at Delhi, and set out for
that purpose, while Ania returned and concealed himself in the hills.
In six days 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.
