: That Mayor Woodward is striking
^ blow at justice and crippling the
courts by his remissions of fines and
granting of pardons, was the charge
blade by Recorder Nash R. Broyles,
Vn a statement to a Georgian reporter
Friday morning. The Interview was
given out by the Recorder following
a series of pardons issued by the
Mayor, in cases which had been sus
tained by the Court of Appeals.
"The action of the Mayor In these
matters is a serious blow to Justice,”
declared Judge Broyles. "We can not
enforce the law against biind tigers
when, after they have fought their
cases through all of the courts and
lost, the Mayor presents them with a
pardon or reduces the amount of their
fines. The sentences in these blind

itger cases were justified by the facts,
and the higher courts have sustained
them.
Says He Cripples Courts.
’Such a course as the Mayor is
following is (rippling the courts in
the efforts- to enforce the laws, and If
we expect to enforce the liquor laws
in Atlanta and break up the blind
tiger cases were justified by the facts
hampered, and the sentences of tile
court should be allowed to be carried
out without interference.
"This interference and leniency not
only cripples the court, but encour
ages the unlawful ones to further
violate the law. Mayor Woodward
has acted on many of these cases
and granted pardons and reductions
in fines without even consulting me.
"In but one instance has he talked
with me regarding a case. That was
several weeks ago—the day the Court
of Apv>eals sustained my decision in
the Griff Freeman case. Mayor
Woodward called mp over the tele
phone and told me the attorneys for
Freeman had requested him to grant
a pardon. I told the Mayor that
Freeman was one of the most noted
blind tiger operators we had to deal
with, and urged him not to interfere
with the sentence.
Granted Freeman Pardon.
"The Mayor said: ‘Well, this is a
case that came up before I went into
office, anyway, so I will tell the at
torneys I can not do anything in the
matter.’ Despite this, however. Mayor
Woodward has granted a pardon of
the 30-day sentence imposed on Free
man and reduced his fine from $500
to $250.
"Such interference with the court's
work has assumed a serious stage,
and unless it (-eases the cause of jus
tice will be dealt a blow- from which
it will require a long time to recover.”
Case Which Brought Protest.
Griff Freeman was arrested in Sep
tember, 1911, for operating a blind
tiger. He Jjas been arrested .several
other times on a similar charge, but
it is this case which drew forth Judge
Broyles’ remarks. Freeman is char
acterized by Broyles as being "one of
the most notorious blind tiger opera
tors in Atlanta." and a sentence of
30 days in adltion to a $500 fine was
imposed upon him. The case was ap-
oealed and the Court of Appeals sus
tained Broyles’ decision.
Thursday, the police were instructed
to’arrest Freeman and have him be
gin his sentence. A short while after
the arrest, Mayor Woodward in
structed the police not to send Free
man to the stockade until he bad time
to consider his application for a par
don. Later, the Mayor remitted the
30-day sentence, and reduced the fine
to $250. which Freeman paid.
Dr. YV\ D. Roper, a druggist at Pry
or and Wall Streets, was convicted
of havlrfg- liquor in his store for sale,
and fined $500 or 30 days. He was
also convicted on a charge of selling
cocaine, which case is stifi pending
on appeal. Two months ago the Court
of Appeals handed down a decree sus
taining Broyles' sentence in the liquor
case.
Judge Broyles charges that Mayor
Woodward also instructed the police
not to molest Roper, as he was con
sidering an application for pardon.
Roper is still at liberty, nothing more
having been heard from the Mayor.
Another instance referred to by Re
corder Broyles in his Interview was
the Dan Shaw case. Shaw was known
as the "blind tiger king" and received
