      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. McCrae 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.
