Marietta Journal/Issue of July 7, 1871
Whereas, There is now pending in the Superior Court of Cherokee County, a Bill 
of Indictment, charging James B. Cloud, William Cloud, and George P. McCraw, 
alias Lafayette McCraw, with the crime of murder, alleged to have been 
committed upon the body of Jerry Garrison in said county of Cherokee, and

Whereas, the said James B. Cloud, William Cloud, and George P. McCraw have 
been arrested and confined under said charge, and subsequently made their 
escape from jail by breaking therefrom, and are now at large, greatly to the 
danger of the peace and good order of the community.

Now, therefore, in order to bring them to a speedy trial for the crime with 
which they stand charged, I have thought proper to issue this, my 
proclamation, hereby offering a reward of Two Thousand Dollars each, for the 
apprehension and delivery of said James B. Cloud, William Cloud, and George P. 
McCraw to the Sheriff of Cherokee County.

Given under my Hand and the Great Seal of the State, at the Capitol in 
Atlanta, this 12th day of May, in the year of our Lord Eighteen Hundred and 
Seventy One and of the Independence of the United States of America, the 
Ninety-fifth. - Rufus B. Bullock
