SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 14.—The
United States grand jury, which ad
journed last night, produced a sensa
tion in indicting Clark Grier, of Au
gusta and Atlanta, on three counts
of accepting money from a moon
shiner while in the employment of
the government.
Mr. Grier this morning made
bond in the sum of $3,666, the sum
of $1,066 being required on each of
the three indictments. Dan C. New
ton, of Claxton, is his bondsman. He
will be represented at the trial,
which will not be until the next term
of court, by Albert Anderson, of
Statesboro.
He is charged with accepting
money from a moonshiner while be
was connected with the department
of justice.
Mr. Grier, who was in Savannah
awaiting indictment, stated this
morning, “I have no fear for the
outcome. There is no truth in the
charges and I have no apprehension
that I will be convicted.”
Mr. Grier explained the ground
for the charges by stating he rep
resented the moonshiner in question
after he had severed his connection
with the government. Further than
this, he would make no statement.
He said he had not consulted his at
torney, who is not in the city.
There are two separate charges
against Mr. Grier.
In one indictment he is charged
with accepting $5,666 from W. H.
Haar, Richard aßiley, C. C. Tuten
and Samuel Goldberg on December
1, 1921, for agreeing not to tip vio
lations of the prohibition law that
might be committed by them. Grier
was at that time employed by the
department of justice to report vio
lations of the prohibition law.
