<br />
<br /> 1st ~ "On September 23rd, 1936, I received the following communication from
<br />V.C. Cassell, Jr.:
<br /> 'I am writing you in regard to the-fifty dotlar~ re~
<br /> ward for the information leading to the arrest and con -
<br /> viction of three negro men, namely, William DaVis, Wiley
<br /> Bell and Joseph Kelly, for turning in false alarm on
<br /> night of Sept. 20th, at 2:12 A.M., from County and Godwin
<br /> Sts. They were arrested by Policemen Soule ~nd TurlinEton
<br /> at Elm Ave. and High S~ on information furnished by me,
<br /> and fined $50.00 and cos~ each in Police Justice Court.'
<br /> In. reply to my inquiry, the Chief of Police reported as follows:
<br /> ~In reply to your letter of Sept. 2~th, relative to
<br /> claim of Mr. V. C. Cassell, Jr., for the $50.00 reward
<br /> usually paid for information leading to the arrest and
<br /> conviction of anyone turning in a false fire alarm, I
<br /> wish to rep6rt the following.
<br /> On Sept. 20th, Mr. Cassell saw ~illiam Davis turn
<br /> in the first alarm from County and Godwin Sts., and gave
<br /> this inform~tio~ to Officers Boule and Turlington, who
<br /> caugh~ William Davis, Wylie Bell and JOseph Kelley, later
<br /> turning in ~n alarm at High and Elm Ave. All three men
<br /> were found ~uilty by the Police Cour~ and fined $50.00
<br /> and costs each.
<br /> Trusting this is the information you desire.~
<br /> Police Court records show that Willie Davis, Wylie Bell and Joseph
<br /> fined $50.00 and cost, each, on Sept. 20th, and are now serving Jail terms, in de-
<br /> of the fines.
<br /> The Council records show ~he following resolution, adopted on March
<br />
<br /> 'Tb~t,~sfter this date, a reward of $50.00 be
<br /> given to any person who will furnish information that
<br /> will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person
<br /> giving a falae alarm of fire.'
<br />
<br /> It appears that Mr. Cassell is entitled to a reward of $50.00 and I
<br /> ~he payment be authorized. No appropriation is necessary."
