On February 11, 1924, 15-year-old Harrison Brown and 23-year-old Oscar Mann would get into an argument. They were arguing at a sawmill they worked at in Upson County, Georgia. It wasn't stated what the argument was in the newspapers, but Harrison was so mad he went home and came back with a shotgun. He would chase Oscar for half a mile with it before shooting and killing him, It was described in newspapers as a black-on-black crime.
The trial would happen soon after and by February 20th the 15-year-old was sentenced to hang. He would be hanged on August 15, 1924.
