Miss l’ratt Is a school teacher at Norwich. : 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.

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 Venezuela Conceals Trouble at Capital NEW YORK, May 23.—Venezuelan Government officials yesterday with held a telegram to the correspondent of the Associated Press at Caracas, Venezuela, requesting details of the arrest of many Venezuelans there, i and the reason for the flight of Dr. j Leopoudo Baptista, former Secretary i General to President Gomez, and of } General Juan Pablo Penalosa, from !the Venezuelan capital to Curaco.i, where they arrived in a small sailing boat on Wednesday.
