REWARD PROBLEM
TRIPLE AfORDER CHARGE
MOTHER GIVES INFORMATION
SAN FRANCISCO, September 28. Police officials are discussing the problem whether they must pay a mother £250 reward for having given information leading to the arrest of her two sons on a triple murder charge.
Afrs A. J. Brite, 64 living in the mountainous country near Eureka, California, recently led the district attorney to the place where her sons John and Coke Brite, were hiding. Her only condition was that they should be protected from lynching and this the police agreed to do.
Later the district attorney expressed the opinion that Airs Brite was entitled to the reward : but the sheriff contended that she had no moral right to it.
The sheriff claims that the parents were communicating with their sons during the three weeks the police were searching the mountains tor them.
