ACCEPT SINNER 8
MONEY IS CHARGED

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. lathe
United States grand jury, which ad.
journed last night, produced sensa.
ton in indicting Clark Grier, of Au.
gusta and Atlanta, on three counts
of accepting money from a moon
sinner while in the employment Of
the government.
Mr.. Grier this morning made
bond in the sum of $4,000, the sum
of $1,000 being required on each Of
the three indictments. Dan c. New
ton, of ClaXton, is his bondsman. He
will be represented at the trial,
which will not be until the next term
of court, by Albert Anderson, of
Statesboro.
He is charged with acceptin g
money from moonshiner while he
was connected with the department
Of justice.
Mr.. Grier, who was in Savannah
awaiting indictment, stated this
morning, ~ have no fear for the
outcome. There is no truth in the
charges and L have no apprehension
that L will be convicted"
Mr.. Grier explained the ground
for the charges by stating he rep
resented the moonshiner in question
after he had severed his connection
with the government. Further than
this, he would make no statement.
He said he had not consulted his at
torney, who is not in the city.
There are two separate charges
against Mr.. Grier.
In one indictment he is charged
with accepting $4,000 from w. II.
Haar, Richard abbey, G. G. Tuten
and Samuel Goldberg OIL December
l, 1921, for agreeing not to tip VIC
lations OF the prohibition law that
might be committed by them. Grier
was at that time employed by the
department of justice to report vio-
lations of the prohibition law.
