John T. Holifield

If John T. Holifield Is Alive Please Produce Him

It having been alleged that Dave F. McGuire, John I. Sharp, Oscar Higgins, of 
Hernando County, Florida, Shaw Thompson and W. J. Bledsoe, formerly of this 
county, in the month of November, in the year 1884, in Hernando County, 
Florida, did kill one John T. Holifield, and on said charge they have been 
tried recently in the state of Florida and acquitted, and we, the relatives of 
John t. Holifield, from our knowledge of the case, believe said Holifield is 
dead, and was killed at the time slated in the charge.   The defendants plead 
not guilty, and to sustain their plot endeavored to prove by J. M. McMichael 
and J.M.D. Bond, of this county, and Rufus Cruse and Thomas Weaver, of Newton 
county, that they had personally seen and talked with said Holifield since the 
alleged killing, in this Butts and Newton counties.  Now we, the relatives of 
John T. Holifield, to more fully prove the sincerity of our belief, and to 
induce those who say he is still alive to produce him, we will pay, in addition 
to what has already been offered, a liberal sum of money for the live body of 
John T. Holifield delivered to us at Jackson, Ga.  Confer with us as to the 
amount of the reward; we will go into a written agreement with you to produce 
him and deliver him to us.

J. H. Holifield, Henry Holifield, Wm. Holifield, J. B. Holifield, McCajor Duke, 
E. L. Duke, T. J. Holifield, J.M. Holifield, Jr., Wyly Holifield, J. M. 
Holifield, William Duke, and others.
