GETTING RICH UNDER GRANT.
How and Why the Little Distilleries
In the South are Squeezed.


Knoxville Correspondence of the New
.-...s York Suh.l ....
Ali through this mountainous
country there IS carried on an i'm
mense deal Of illicit distilling by
numerous small concerns hidden
away among the hills and ravines
of a very rough section. To break
up this nest of small pirates on the
revenue, large numbers of mar
shals, deputies and others are con
stsntly employed under direction
of the United States District At
tOrney at this pOint-scOuring the
country and making captures when
ever possible. And here begins
the prostitution of office to corrupt
uses. Hundreds of poor men,
whose sole offense is that they
have made fire under a kettle, or
cut "a cord of wood, it may be,
simply as the employees OF others,
the principals in the case, are made
to share with their employers in
the jailings and acquisitions for
bail consequent upOu discovery
and arrest, though perfectly inno-
cent of sny Intentional wrong do
ing. v .....F ....e. .-....
These men in nine cases out of
ten are so poor that even in the
immediate neighbOrhOod of their
own homes they would be utterly
unable to furnish bonds for their
appearance to any amount. But,
lest they might, it is the practice
usually to take them as far away
as possible from any means of so
doing. Thrown into Jail, away
from home, ignorant. poor to
raggedness, and utterly unable to
escape the process, these poor
devils are then subjected to q sys-
TEN of terrorism for weeks which
has this result--when brought to
trial they are induced through
fear of the mighty name Of the
United States Court, and their in
ability To employ counsel, seconded
by the strenuous efforts of the Dis
trlct Attorney and his assistanta
TO induce them to do so, to submit
their cases, with a plea Of guilty,
and ask for sentence without the
formality Of q trial by jury, with
the hope of q lighter sentence.
And here comes in the profit of
the officials. For every trial by
jury, ending in conviction, the
District Attorneys fees are fixed
by statute at $40. For a submis-
sion without trial, on a plea OF
guilty, his fee is $40 only, and the
records of this one court alone for
the past five years show that over
a thousand cases that were submit
ted without trial are entered of
record as having been tried by
jury. and bills for services of the
District Attorney and his assist
ants. audited and paid by the de-
partmenr at Washington for these
bills are so paid, since ninety-nine
out Of a hundred executions issued
for costs are necessarily returned
ursatistied accordingly. This rec
ord is made up and sworn to by
the clerk, and then signed by the
Judge. Thousands of dollars have
been made in this way. abe pres
ent District Attorney, George A.
Andrews, has risen from poverty
to affiucncc, while his predecessor
in office revels in wealth.
The persons implicated do not
even deny these facts, but seek
justification in the assertion that it
is the practice with United States
courts all through the South.
