JACKSON’S MURDERERS HELD UN
DER HEAVY BONDS.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, 24th inst.
Charged with conepiring against the
life of United States officers, interfering
with officers, and with manufacturing
and Bolling liquor, Will H. Garrett and
his sons, Alfred and Enoch Garrett, were
held in default of $26,000 bail each,
following a preliminary hearing yester
day before Judge Nathan A. Brown,
which lasted more than throe hours, 0.
Wadsworth, brother-in-law of one of
tho Garrett boys, is hold undor a $6,000
bond on a charge of manufacturing and
selling liquor, while Cullen Dandy and
Waltor Lockhart, negroes, are hold in
$500 bail.
The cases grow out of a battle, three
miles from Butlor, two weoks ago yoster-
day, between three revenue officers and
the Garretts,' after Wadsworth and the
negroes had been arrested at a distil
lery near the Garrett homo, which re
sulted in the death of Deputy Collector
R. W. Jackson and John Garrett, a son
of W. H, Garrett, and tho woundiiig of
Napoloon Garrett, also a son, of W. H.
Garrett. Nopoloon Garrett 4 was not
placed on trial, and is lying in a hospital
at Macon He will be given a prelimi
nary hearing when his condition permits.
The hearing began before 6 o’clock
and did not concludetuntil after 8. Eight
witnesses were placed on the stand by
tho Government in making out its case.
They were Prohibition Enforcement
Agent 8. J. Causey, Deputy Collectors
E. G. English and 8. A. Smith; City
Marshal E. J. Poole, of Butler; C. D.
Windham and Plena James, night watch
men at Butler; J. W. Shell, an attorney,
and Colbert Lewis, taxicab driver of
Butler, who transported tho officors to
the still. The Government was repro
sented by Assistant District 'Attorney
J. W, Henley, of Atlanta, and Geo. C.
Palmer, of Columbus. Counsel for the
defense consisted of C. W. Poy pf But
lor, and O. B. Marshall of Reynolds.
Testimony brought out nt the trial
wbh to the effect that Alfred Garrett
had made threats against the lives of
Capt. English and Marshal Poole, fol
lowing one or two former raids in the
vicinity of the Garrett home which proved
to be water hauls.
It developed that in looking for a
still, believed to have been located in
the vicinity, the officers searched along
branches and in likely places for “wild
On Dec. 10, Officers English, Causey
and Jackson were conveyed to the Gar
rett homo by Colbert Lewis, who testi
fied that he oporated a taxicab service.
The officers loft tho machine and found
a large illicit distillery, 493 yards from
the Garrett homo. The moonshine fac
tory gave every indication of having
been in operation for some time, the
officors testified. It was located -in a
comparatively open place—a slight up
land in a small clump of weeds. A well
had been dug to provide water for the
distillation.
Wadsworth and the two negroes were
found at the still when the raiding of
ficers flushed it. Wadsworth stated that
he was not connected with the still, and
that he was merely passing by and found
it. The still, together with a considera
ble quantity of beor and a few gallons 1
of liquor, were destroyed by the officers
and the three men taken into custody.,
In tho interval between the time the
officers wore raiding the distillery and
their return with the prisoners, Lewis,
on the stand, testified that he drove up
to the Garrett home to turn aroupd, be
cause the road was sandy and narrow.
According to his testimony, Will Gar
rett, father of the four boys, asked him
who he had brought there. He declared
that Will Garrett and Napoleon Gar
rett were supervising the unloading of
three barrels of syrup at tfie time, and
after he had told them that he had
brought three revenue men who were
searching 'for stills, something was said
about pouring out the syrup. In a de
fiant manner, he testified, Napoleon Gar
rett declared the syrup would never bo
poured out by revenue officers.
At this juncture, the witness stated,
Will Garrett called Enoch, Napoleon and
John Garrett off to one Bide and they
held a short conversation.
It was at this point, the Government
contended, that tho “conspiracy’’ wa«
hatched, and that the father and the
sons plotted to take the lives of the
officers. Alfred, it was brought out in
testimony, had threatened several times
to kill any officer who “interfered with
his business.’'
About half nn hour, after the conver
sation botweon tho GnrrottB, Lowls tes
tified, lio noticed the officors approach
ing with tho prisoners. Enoch Garrett,
it was brought out, loft tho party, going
down the road in a direction opposite
to tho officers, and that when nbout
fifty yards from tho point whoro tho
Garretts mot tho raiding party, ho turned
off from tho road,
Testimony brought out that John Gnv-
rett advanced townrd Jackson and Cau
sey, whllo Napoleon Garrett motioned
Capt. ^English off to one side, stating
that he wished to sponk with him, A
shot rang out from tho dlroctlbn in
which Enoch Garrett had disappeared,
it Was staled, after Which John Garrett
fired nt Officer Jnckson, who returned
tho flro; and that Nnpoloon Garrett turn
ed and fired nt CftViaoy, when ho was shot
by Oapt. English, who grubbed a gun
that lmd been taken from tho Garretts.
John Garrett was klllod instantly,
Officer Jackson fatally wounded, dying
nn hour later, nnd Napoloon was pain
fully but not sorlouBly shot. Tho officers
rushed the wounded officor to Butlor
and loft Wadsworth to earo for tho dead
and wounded men.
Officor Causoy was tho first to take
tho stantl. Ho described tlio battlo nB
outlined nbovo, as did Capt. English,
who followed him. Marshal Poole,
Nightwatchman Windlmm and Attorney
Shell testified as to throats they had
heard made against tho officors. Lewis’
testimony' told of the fatal shooting,
wliilo Nightwatchman James’ statement
was along tho lines of thoso of Marshal
Poole, Windham and Sholl.
Deputy Collector Sam Smith, former
Bfioriff of Troup county, toBtiflod that
since tho battle ho had investigated al
leged largo shipments of syrup, nnd had
found railroad receipts for sovornl bar
rels of syrup at frequent intervals.
“ " Ravonuo Officer Newberry,
who had participated in for-
also had boon threatened,
testified,
Albert Garrett’s automobile had boon
to bold tho Garretts on tho conspiracy
chnrgo nnd tho other throe defendants
on tho llouor ehnrgcs, nnd that tho only
question In his mind was whether bail
should be allowed, nnd, If so, In what
amount.
searched 1 one night at midnight In But
ler, officers testified, and although no
liquor was found, n considerable num
ber of pottles that had contained liquor
wore found. It was after this raid,
witnesses testified, that ho riiado throats
upon the lives of tho officers who “in
terfered with his bUBlnoss. ’ ’
Assistant U, S. Attorney Henley stress
od the soriousnoss of tho offonso with
which the men wore charged, and urged
heavy bail, suggesting . not less
than $26,000, Tho prosecution deplored
the fac't that there is no homicide charge
on tho Federal statute books and re
iterated,tho demand for a heavy bail. ,
