SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1935
CONNOR CONVICTED IN MIXED
TEST CASE; ATTORNEYS POST
BOND CERTIORARI PROCEEDING
Sharp disagreement by counsel,
the sudden kaleidoscopic change in
evidence on which the defendant
was being prosecuted and the not
unpleasant task of tasting—for the
purpose of legal testimony—the
wine in question marked the high
spots of the trial and conviction
of A. B. Connor, who faced police
court this morning on a charge of
‘doing business without a city li
cense.’
Connor was the defendant in
what attorneys for the city and
defendant admitted was a test
case. The proprietor of the small
store located at 110 E. State street,
was fined SIOO or thirty days in
jail. His attorneys immediately fur
nished bond for the purpose of cer
tiorari to the Superior Court.
Connor was convicted of selling
wine without a license. Several
weeks ago Connor’s license was re
voked by the city following dis
orders in his place of business.
Upon the advice of attorneys
Marvin O’Neal and Edward Good
win. Connor re-opened his place
of business Monday. The point at
issue brought by the attorney is
that the city is without authority
to license alcoholic beverages for
sale, therefore is without author
ity to revoke such licenses.
When the case was presented to
Police Court this morning, the first
charge read was ‘Violating the
State Prohibition Law’ .This was
promptly admitted by the defense
and trial waived. Connor was held
for city court on this charge.
When the next charge was read,
Detective Sergeant Ellis Qutlined
the city's case. He told the court
he raided Connor’s place, found

, four pints of whiskey, two quarts
of wine, and a quantity of cigars
; and cigarettes.
“I asked Mr. Connor what was
the big idea —doing business when
i his license had been revoked. He
1 told me he was acting upon the
advice of counsel. I found the two
bottles of wine on a shelf under
: the counter.”
At this point Mr. O’Neal express
ed his amazement to the court
that the city had. in violation of
an agreement with him, elected
to prosecute his client on the
charge of selling wine. Joseph Hes
ter, assistant city attorney, hand
led the prosecution.
“I had a conversation with Mr.
Hester yesterday afternoon in the
Realty Building. At that time I
, explained the wine was for Mr.
Connor’s personal use and had no
bearing on the case which we are
testing. Mr. Hester agreed that the
wine question would not be press
ed. Today, I learn to my surprise,
that this agreement is withdrawn.”
“Do you plead surprise?” Re
corder Jordan asked?
“No, I do not —but the question
now is to defend my client against
a charge other than that for which
we were prepared.”
Mr. Hester thereupon made a
statement to the court.
“It is true that Mr. O'Neal and
I had a conversation in the Realty
Building yesterday. At that time,
I told him if the detectives told me
that the wine was for Mr. Con
nor’s personal use, I would not
press that charge. Later I w-as in
formed by the detectives that the
wine was for the purpose of sale.
Therefore I withdraw that agree
ment and insist upon his prosecu
tion on this charge.”
Mr. O’Neal stated he had asked
the detectives about the wine and
they made no contention that Con
nor was arrested because of the
presence of wine below the coun
ter. He asked the court to under
stand that Mr. Ellis and not Mr.
Hester had violated the agreement.
He declared it was upon the state
ment of the detectives that he bas
ed his statement to Mr. Hester.
Mr. O’Neal then questioned De
tective Ellis as to Avhether he
would have arrested Mr. Connor
had he not found the wine and
found only tho whiskey. Mr. Hester
objected to this but was overruled
by the court. Detective Ellis re
plied that he would have done so.
The court then held that this was
irrelevant, since the evidence was
on presumption.
“How do you know it was wine?”
Mr. O'Neal asked the witness.
“From the label on bottle and its
appearance.”
The court then suggested getting
the bottles as evidence. The bottles
were quickly brought into court.”
“Do you know the alcoholic content
of that wine,” asked Mr. O’Neal.
“No, I don’t.”
Recorder Jordon then insisted that
Mr. Ellis take a drink from the bot
tle and then Inform the court If it
was wine. Mr. Ellis took the drink
much to the amusement of the spec
tators.
“If Mr. Ellis is to take a drink, I
think counsel should also be permit
ted to take one for the purpose of
rebuttal.”
The court graciously passed the
bottle to Mr. O’Neal. He took a
drink and the court then wanted
know if it was good wine.”
“No, your honor—it’s pretty cheap
stuff.”
Counsel for the city refrained from
pressing his legal right to sample
the. bottle.
“We object to the evidence on the
ground that the label on the battle
is heresay; that the prosecuting of
ficer is not prepared to state the al
coholic content of the drink in ques
tion”
The objection was overruled and
the court placed the fine for convic
tion upon Connor.
Mr. O’Neal, following the trial,
stated it might be necessary to repeat
the entire procedure, causing his client
to undergo arrest and eliminate the
wine feature from the case. The
attorney declared the defense is not
disturbed over the conviction since the
higher courts has held on a number
of such cases that the label on a bot
tle is hearsay and not admissable into
evidence. He indicated he would
either cause his client to reopen the
place of business again so that the
case might be prosecuted on the sale
of whisky or he would battle the
point at issue out in certiorari pro
ceedings.

BOYD COUPLE AND
I NEGRO DISMISSED
r' AT COURT HEARING
SLAYING OF MILES UN
SOLVED; POLICE UP
BLIND ALLEY
The brutal slaying of Dozier D.
Miles, 50-year-old night watchman
appeared headed for the limbo of
unsolved crimes today as county
police admitted they were balked
and Municipal Court Judge Eman
uel Lewis discharged three held
under a murder warrant.
Judge Lewis discharged J. G.
Boyd. Mrs. Boyd and Floyd Smith,
charged in a warrant with murder,
when County Policeman Claude
Henderson admitted six days of
investigation had led him only into
a blind alley on the case. A day
and night investigation, while
Boyd, his young wife, and the neg
ro, Smith, remained in jail without
the advice of an attorney, disclos
ed no evidence on which to hold
the three, said Officer Henderson.
W. L. Miles, son of the murder
ed man, asked Judge Lewis to re
lease Mrs. Boyd but left the re
lease of the other two defendants
entirely to the court.
Boyd and his wife both denied
any knowledge of the crime. Boyd
said he had seen Miles not more
than three or four times in his life
and had never had a dispute with
him.
Mrs. Boyd, a niece of the mur
dered watchman, said she was in
Glennville at the time of her
uncle's murder and knew nothing
of the crime until some time after
its discovery.
Smith said he had never seen
Miles in his life and had never
even heard his name until he was
arrested in connection with the
murder.
“These people have been in jail
six days,” said Judge Lewis. “They
have answered every question put
to them by police. They did not
even seek the advice of an attor
ney. There has been ample time to
establish their connection with the
crime, if they had any. All defend
ants are discharged.”
