Reward ruling on arrest reward in Georgia case
The Supreme Court ruled that a reward for an arrest is payable to the person who actually made the capture and handed the suspect to the state agent. Hall, who arrested Maron Power in Los Angeles, had claimed the $1000 reward, later transferred to Lamb, while Sheriff Hewitt argued for the state’s entitlement. The court upheld the lower court’s decision. Meanwhile the Georgia Savings Bank and Trust Company gained an amendment to raise capital from 150,000 to 200,000 dollars, approved by Secretary of State Philip Cook.
