Action of Chief of Police May

fspecial Dispatch to The Journal

Especial Dispatch to The Journal,)
Moon. Ga, Jan. 27.-The action OF
Chief of Police Chapman in breaking
open a freight car in a railroad yard
and seizng ten barrels of whisky con-
signed to a man suspected of running 81
blind tiger, is likely TO lead to a legal
controversy OF statewide interest. since
his is a new departure in the enforce
ment of the prohibition law and a
method not rellshed by either the house
making the shipment, the railroad COM
pany. nor the consignee.
The seizure OF the whisky was made
Thursday afternoon. The chief and a
detail of officers first raided the place
of c. A Monroe, a negro saloon keeper
and. failing to find am liquor there,
proceeded to the depot. There Chief
Chapman demanded of the Southern
railway officials the copies of the bills of
lading Searching through these, he
found that ten barrels of whisky, con-
signed TO 6. A. Monroe, had, arrived.
He at once went to the car, broke 1t
open, and seized the liquor, loading the
ten barrels on a dray and sending them
to the police station, Mnere they now
are At the same time case was dock
eted against Monroe.
Monroe holds, and so do the attor-
neys for the railroad, that the CHIEFS
action was altogether without warrant
in law. and IL allowed by the courts will
establish a dangerous and ruinous preCe-
dent. The fight in the courts will no
doubt be- followed with general interest.
