 Galveston News May 24, 1884 SHERMAN Sherman, May 23 - Deputy Sheriffs Bob May and Will Kelly have just returned from the Delaware Bend district, bringing with them John Allison, who is charged by indictment with the killing of his cousin, named Allison, on the 4th of July, 1882, and also as being connected with George Belk in the killing of a negro at Pottsboro, in this county, on Christmas day of last year. This last killing occurred at the same time. He is also indicted for an aggravated assault on Bud Motchelson. Allison, in appearance, is a quiet, genial, companionable man, has a hearty laugh, and is the last man - even if for the first time...in the custody of the sheriff - that one would suspect of the crimes charged against him.
