An eight-page Journal Entry from the District Court of Norton County outlines the case regarding the criminal George A. Plowman. A separate letter from L. H. Thompson informs Kansas Governor St. John of the arrest and trial of George A. Plowman and advises him that J. W. Vining has been the only person to claim any reward for the capture and conviction of Plowman. An additional letter to the Governor requests payment for the conviction of Plowman.
