Transcript: | The governor’s office has offered $400 reward for the first arrest and conviction of a person implicated in the lynching of Reuben Sims, a negro who confessed to the murder of C. D. Cole, at Little River, Baldwin county, last Tuesday. Rewards of $100 each were also offered for the second and third arrests. The governor is not authorized to convene a special term of court, but he has written W. S. Anderson that if he desires to proceed to Bay Minette and convene a grand jury to investigate the lynching he will direct Supernumerary Judge Alston to go to Mobile and relieve him in holding the Mobile circuit, which convenes Monday. |
