Governor Brown offers rewards for lynchers in Pulaski County
Governor Brown authorized rewards of 100 dollars each for the first five men convicted of lynching Harvard near Cochran in Pulaski County. The case began after Harvard, involved in a dispute with W D Boothe, shot and killed him and was later lynched by unknown others. Officials did not request the rewards, and County officials argued they could not use county funds. Brown consulted the attorney general and issued the offers on his own motion.
