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. , Mr. Marshall mado a plea for bis clients, Wfter Judge Brown announced „ that ho ‘boliovod tho evidence sufficient | of thy death, NOTHING BUT AN OFFICER.
