CAscs Mnde Out Against Ceufral OF
Goorg1A, Accused OF Being
Travelling Blind Tiger.

Atlanta, Ca, June 2s.--Charged
with violating section 1640 OF the city
code OF 1910. which means IN THE lam
guage OF Decatur Street, being q
travelling blind tiger cases were
made against the Central Of Georgia
railway and Its chief clerk. J. r.
Thompson, by Detective Sergeant
The cases grew out OF the arrest OF
Doris Dean, ". A. Kahn and e. F.
Jones. several nights ago. charged
with violating whiskey ordinances at
the Kimball house. The Dean woman
was arrested for having received
more liquor, than the law allows, and
the two men, who were registered I'M
der disordtrly conduct charges, were
alleged to have aided her in securing
the liquor.
The amount of whiskey which the
Dean woman In said to have received
in shipments from the Central OF
Georgia Office was declared by de-
tectives to be in excess of the law, al
though its exact ancu unit could not be
learned, although 1t is said that the
shipment contained whiskey, wine and
beer.
Sergeant Waggoner consulted with
City Attorney James l.. Mayson. fol-
lowing the arrest of the three at the

by the city attorney that the rail-
road had violated the law In allowing
the woman to get the liquor, made
cases against Thompson and the road.
On the station sergeants blotter the
cases are registered against J. K.
Thompson and also against the Cen
trail OF Georgia Railway Company.
According to police station officials,
Thompson will in all probability an
swer both charges or the superinten-
dent OF the Atlanta division Of the
road Will be forced to answer to the
charges registered against the rail-
road.
The trial was set for this afternoon,
at 1880 O'Clock. Inasmuch as this is
the first case made in Atlanta against
railroad since the passage of the
prohibition laws May /, and the first
test case of the recent opinion of the
Central of Georgia attorneys that
whiskey. wine and beer might all be
ordered under the new law, 1t is
thought that the trial Will create wide
spread interest and be largely at
tended by railway officials and others.
