§ 9. Rewards
The governor may offer a suitable reward, not exceeding the sum of $1,000.00 in any case, to be paid to a person or persons who, in consequence of such offer, apprehends or secures a person who has escaped from any institution in this state in which he was lawfully confined and, when requested by the attorney general, may offer such a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person who has committed a felony in this state.
