HE COUNTS THE NOSES
AND KNOWS THE COUNT
Says Story of Injustice to Jas.
Young Was Incorrect and
Not Fair to Him.
Judge Nash R. Broyles, city recorder,
writes The Georgian to state the police
court side of an Incident published a
week ago. In which .'the story of James
Young/, a consumptive prisoner, was
related. The Information published by
The Georgian came directly from Jo
seph C. Logan, of the Associated Chari
ties. and Robert B. McCord, of the
Prison Reform association, who handled
the case, and any errors of fact which
may have appeared must be ascribed to
them.
Judge Broyles' card Is forceful and
direct, and those who know him and
his court would be loath to believe
that he knowingly did any prisoner an
Injustice. His card follows: V
To The Georgian:
On last Saturday, you published in {
your paper a sensational story, headed
In -large type, as follows: “Boy In
search of health sent to Jail as va
grant-." The article went on to state
that James Young and Oscar Collier,
shortly after arriving in Atlanta from
Bedford, Ind., and while searching for
work, approached some men on a cor
ner In the center of thd city, and asked
to be directed to the nearest butcher
shop or cigar factory, and that two
policemen arrested them, and next
morning they were bound over as-va
grants in the police court, and sent to
Jail.
The entire article seemed to be try
ing to prove that the arresting officers
and the Judge of the police court had
been guilty of "railroading” two Inno
cent youths to the “pen - ," and has been
so construed by many friends of mine,
who have asked me about the article.
I do not know where your reporter
got his Information, but his story was
Ailed with Incorrect statements and
false Insinuations, and did a grave In
justice to both the arresting officers
and the court .
The facta in the cose were these, as
shown in the trial before me: About
<1:30 p m., on the night of Kovcmber
20, a telephone call cams In to the po
lice barracks from a store at the cor
ner of Myrtle and Ltnden-sts. (on the
outskirts of the city), that two rough-
looking, strange white men were bang,
ing around the store, and acting In a
suspicious manner, and the store
keeper was uneasy, as several burgla
ries had been lately commlttd In that
section of the city. Two call officers.
G. M. Gorman and J. \Y. West (and
by-the-way. they are two of the beat
and most humane men on the forge),
were sent to the scene and found the
two men still near the store.

makes reply to story given out by offi
cers of Associated Charities and Prison
Reform association.
asked their names, they gave them to
the officers as “Jim Smith” and
-Charles Brown." One witness swore
that a few minutes before the police
call was sent In, he saw these two men
crawl out from under the store. They
hod not said a word to the storekeeper
or anybody In that neighborhood about
looking for work, or asking to be di
rected to a butcher shop or cigar fac
tory. Numerous burglaries, "hold-ups"
and other serious crimes are being
committed every night In our city, and
the officers did right to send In these
suspicious character for Investigation,
•When they arrived at the police bar
racks, and were questioned further,
they admitted that their right names
were Oscar Collier and James Young,
and that they hod lied to the officers
when they said that their names were
"Jim Smith” and "Charles Brown." The
next morning they were tried on a
charge of "Idling and loitering.” and I
questioned all the witnesses closely and
listened carefully to their statements.
They said their home was In Bed
ford. Ind., but that they had recently
been In several towns in Kentucky and
Tennessee; that they had no money
and no Job. They never said one word
about coming to Atlanta for their
health, and there was no appearance of
III health about either of them. They
could give not satisfactory explanation
of hanging around that store for sev
eral hours at night, or why they had
crawled under it They admitted that
they had reached town on a freight
train Instead of a passenger train.
All the evidence, and their appear
ance, pointed to them as a couple of
tramps, hoboing their way from city to,
city—without work and without desire
to work. I thought, and still think, that
the evidence was sufficient to require
me aa a committing magistrate to bind
them over to the city criminal conrt.
When' where a Jury could pass upon the ques
tion whether or not they were vagrants.
That Is what I did. The article as pub
lished In The ' Georgia however, was
so unfair and misleading In Its facts
and Insinuations that a wrong Impres
sion bas been created, not only In this
city and state, where your paper Is
widely read, but In other states, and I
respectfully request that you publish
this card us conspicuously as you did
the fqrmer article.
Respectfully,

The Capital City club was organised
April 18, 1813. and Incorporated May

Walton-st„ until August, 1884, when
the quarters were secured at 188 Peach-

History has been enacted there, for

We believe that practically every one would be glad to
have a Diamond as a Christians present.
Our reasons for thinking this are:
They are constantly increasing in value, having little over
doubled in less than eight yearfl. This advance is sure to con
tinue, for the supply is decreasing and the demand is increasing.
There is nothing in the world so beautiful. They arc
the supreme symbols of value.
The wearing of diamonds is a visible proof of prosperity,
and people dearly love to know and do business with one who
is a success.
