subsequently ~SEt lItO tuO Aoooo, an
while in there WAS arrested and taken
to the police headquarters. Trial JUS
tice Milan was sent for, and the prls-
cner turned over to him. Later in the
6ay Mr.. Legare gave bond and was re-
leased to appear before tbs Court,
Mr.. Legare was seen By a reporter
for the News and Courier, after bis re-
lease from custody, and asked for
statement Of the facts ii the case.
He said that Mr.. Jordon'S son came
to his Office and told him that his fath.
er wanted him around at his place OF
business. He hastened 70 comply With
| the request. When he reached MI.
,Jordon's place he found Chief Consta-
hle Gaillard outside Of the door, which
was being guarded by two policemen.
He requested permission to enter and
! vas refused. He explained to Consta-
! bic GalllarG that he had been sent for
: bv bis client, and he conceived 1t nlS
duty to comply with his request. Con-
stable Gs!tlsrd still refused him en-
trance and ordered the officers at the
door to keep him out. Shortly after
Constable Gallard had entered the
house be went into the room. The
conssables, headed by Chief Gaillard,
FASTENED towards him. Chief Consta.
BILE Gaillard ordered him out and he
declined to 60. The chief constable
then requested Lieut.. J. Il. Fordham,
eff the police force. to arrest hlna. The
officer reminded Chief Constable Gail
Hard that the premises we're in his tGall
ilard's) possession, and that he was the
| one to perform the Office. Chief Con-
stable Galllsrd then laid bis hand on
| Mr.. Legare and told him to consider
hlmsvlf under arrest. he replied Ger.
taiuly be would, and was turned over
to Lieut.. Fordham. Outside the build
| ing the police wagon was rung for and
MI. Legare was put in it and taken to
the Guard House.
When Chief Constable Gaillard was
asked for statement regarding the
raid and the arrest incident thereto be
said: 81 entered F. Jordan's place, So
King street, at 1880 o'clock yesterday
morning. l found Mr.. Jordan near the
door on the Inside sitting on stool. |
told him nv busisess. AS soon as l
ibid so ne said: "Have you g search
warrant?" told him I had. Mr. Ell:
lott, who held the warrant, presented
It to him moment or two afterwards,
and the search began. [ closed the
front door and stood outside of 1t. Two
police officers were stationed at the
! door and requested them not to allow
lanyone to enter. I observed Mr.. Le-
| care approaching very rapidly. He de-
sired admittance. l refused to allow
him to enter, and after few words of
explanation he demanded his right to
enter, suggesting legal reasons to me
for keeping him out. He then with
drew from the door after little obJec-
tion. I went inside and closed the door.
A few minutes afterwards Mr.. Legare
opened the door and forced himself IN.
II stopped him Immediately and asked
him to Withdraw. He declined TO DO
/ so, saying he desired to make a ques-
ton Of it. I called in Lieut.. Fordham
and requested him to arrest -Mr. Le'
care and take him out of the store, so
that nv search could proceed without
interference or disturbance. 1t is
: probable that this is the beginning OF
!. another big lawsuit for the State OF
tSouth Carolina. No contraband goods
wore found on Mr.. Jordan's place.
ONE OF THE MOB SHOT.
/ The first blood which has flowed IN
, Charleston in consequence OF the clS'
peneary law was spilled last night, and
as far as can be known, it was spilled
by representative Of the State con
stabulery.
, The excitement caused by the Incl
! dent IN Vanderhorst street grew as the
day wore on, and by nightfsll the feel
, ing Of indignation was intense. Scores
, of men visited both depotS at the time
| for the arrival Of the evening trains
!; expecting that the constables would be
present but instead the depots were
provided with extra police.
About 9 O'Clock meeting Of citizens
!, was held and after brief debate those
J present adjourned. Shortly after this
= a crowd OF men, about five hundred 1r

street in the direction of Spring street
; where it is known that there is BOARD

When the crowd reached Spring street
lit numbered over five hundred. They
we're determined men and seemed in

But such was not to be. The meet

A squad of twelve men was quickly
