SAYS POLICEMAN
AIDED PURCHASE
REPRESENTATIVE Hughs is Willing tt
Testify But Will Not ~SqueaL'

The State.
Why, gentlemen. only last week
/ got a quart of five star Scotch
whiskey through Columbia police
man, declared Representative Har-
rv Hughs of Oconee on the floor o.
the house Yesterday He added en-
phatically, And you can do the same
thing
This remark was made in a speech
on the DuRant bill, in which Nj.
Eughs had said that whiskey was
flowing rampant in South Carolina.
Mayor Griffith said yesterday that ne
would probably order compete
probe.
Mr.. Hughs rose at the afternoon
session to point OF personal prlVll-
ege, saying that certain members haa
criticized him and seemed to think
that he was going to "squeai" he
said he had seen in the afternoon
paper that city council would PROB
ably ask him to appear before it.
81 have no objection to going be-
fore council said Mr.. Hughs, but
g they think, or anybody else thinks
at | am going to 'squeal' and help
1nem enforce the laws when they can
not do it themselves, they are very
much mistaken.
Mr.. Hughs said yesterday after
noon that the statement made by him
about the Columbia policeman and
the quart of whiskey was absolutely
correct but he said he was no sneak
and would not disclose the officers
name. Mr.. Hughs did not go into de-
tails of the incident, in his talk Oh
the floor of the house, but after the
morning session he explained to re-
porters the circumstances, refralnlns,
however, from mentioning at any time
the policeman's name. Mr.. Hughs
said that he sounded negro, who was
standing near a policeman one night
last week about getting some Whis-
kew 81 don't know, boss was the
negro's reply. When the negro NOV
ed off, Mr.. Hughs said, the policeman,
who had overheard the conversation,
asked what Mr.. Hughs wanted, and
Mr.. Hughs told. him he wanted to buy
some whiskey. What kind and how
much do you want?" asked the
policeman, according to the repre-
sentative. Mr.. Hughs said he told
of his desires and that the policeman
called a negro, and after conversa-
ton, informed Mr.. Hughs that the
whiskey would be there in about so
minutes. Mr.. Hughs said the negro
came back with the whiskey and ne
gave the negro $3.50.
Mr.. Hughs in the speech on the Du-
Rant bill advocated tightening OF the
laws because of violations OF the gal
lon month law but opposed a bone
dry measure. He said the Columota
instance was one that had made hill.
change his mind as to enforcement
of the gallon a month law.
]. w. Richardson, chief Of police,
said last night, in regard to Repre-
sentative Hughs' statement:
"I will investigate this matter and
try to get to the bottom of it. II
Mr.. Hughs is the good, honest, law
abiding gentleman he should be, he
will give me the name of the police
man he has reference to. If he doesn
know the officers name, I am going
! to ask the mayor to let me have the
entire force appear at the city hall
and then let Mr. Hughs point out the
policeman he refers to. Should MT
Hughs refuse to do this, we viii lei
the public form it's own opinion as
to his statement"
