OFF AGAIN ON AGAIN
GONE AGAIN JACKSON
The Same Violator with the Same
Violation Repeats His Past
Performances

Slmp Jackson runs amuck twice
N less than week, after the order
passed by Judge Morris revoking the
two probation sentences that he had
passed and ordering that jackson be
arrested and put in the chain-gang
for two years, was set aside in Cobb
Superior Court on February 21st.
These orders were set aside, and Jack
son was discharged, on the ground
that he was not brought before
Judge Morris before he revoked the
probation sentences. On the follow
ing Monday night Mr.. w. P. Mozely,
who lives at the old Richardson place
on the Atlanta Roard between Ma
rietta and Smyrna, heard some one
on his veranda; he went to the door
and it was Simp Jackson. jackson
told Mr.. Mozely that he was in
trouble; that his car was in the ditch
in front of Mr.. Mozely's house, and
that he wanted help. Mr.. Mozely
stepped into the house to get lamp.
When he came back on the veranda
he discovered that Simp was "glori-
Ioulsy" drunk, staggering and falling
about his veranda. When he saw the
condition Jackson was in, Mr.. Mozely
told him he would have nothing fur
Their to do with him, and started in
the house. Jackson asked him to
say nothing about. In short time
car came along going towards Ma
rletta, and was stopped. This car
then proceeded towards Marietta,
and in short time, two cars came
from the direction of Marietta, and
stopped at the Jackson car. 1t was
dark, but Mr.. Mozely and his family
could see that something was being
transferred from tle Jackson car in
to one of these cars. As soon as the
change was made, all of the cars left.
The next morning a large broken
glass jug was found by Mr.. Mozely
where the jackson car was stopped.
The next day, this fact was report
ed to Sheriff Swanson. He said he
would investigate it.
On the following Wednesday night.
Slmp jackson was arrested in a cell
lar at No. Auburn Avenue in At
lanta, with woman and two or three
other men, with a large quantity of
whiskey. These parties were all car
ried to the police station, and fines
were imposed upon them the next
day. Thursdays Atlanta Constitu-
ton and Atlanta Journal both pub
lished articles to this effect. Jackson,
however, is still at large.
When Judge Morris imposed the
two chain-gang sentences of twelve
months each on Jackson on June Id.
1919, and then put him on probation
on the condition, among other things,
that he should not leave the jurisdic-
ton of the court without permission
of the court; should refrain from in
any manner violating the prohibition
laws of the State of Georgia; should
not drink anything intoxicating; and
should not violate any of the laws of
the State of Georgia or of the United
States, Sheriff w. E. Swanson
agreed to be probation officer for
jackson, and was appointed as such
by the court. He signed the follow
ing obligtion, which is of record and
now on file in the Clerks office of
Cobb Superior Court, to-wit:

w. E. Swanson.
What is the matter, Mr.. Sheriff,
that you don't arrest this notorious
law violator and bring him before
the court, as you solemn obligation
binds you to do? Why haven't you
done it before now? Why didn't you
hold him when he was discharged on
the ground that he was not brought
before Judge Morris before his pro-
baton sentence was revoked, and
then Immediately bring him again be-
fore the court for violating the pro-
baton sentences, by having liquor
in his possession, and for leaving the
jurisdiction of the court? He was
arrested beyond the jurisdiction of
the court You were certainly aware
