FSPE uesda 1 Scorr BUILDING ]ROP CASES AGAINST GOODMAN. b -. s By Direction of Attorney General Ly- r. on, Indictments Against Morton t A. Goodman Nol Pressed, f Columbia, May 27.-Indictments t against Morton A. Goodman, charg ed with conspiracy and per- I jury in connection with the alleged I dispensary graft cases, were nol I prossed in the court of sessions for Itchland county. Assistant Attorney g General DeBruhI appeared before Judge DeVore and, upon the motion, of Solicitor Cobb, it was announcedM In open court shortly after noou to- it day that the cases against Goodman I were nal prossed. It is believed that Goodman will t appear before the grand jury here next week. Goodman was to have appeared last year, when the alleged s graft cAses were ~ in progress, 'but e he was not present. One conspiracy case involves mem bers of the last Iboard of directors ' and certain agenits of whiskey hous- C es, including Morton A. Goodman. I John -Earley, another whiskey agent, ~ testified here last fall in ;the Black ease Earley and Goodman were in- r some of the same indict The other case involved' the e immediately preceding ~ t onspiracy Nol Prossed. a ill two of the big' conspiracy ents tihat the cases againstt man are nol prossed, namely, in etents Nos. 30 and 51. hfamous "label deal" is the t of these cases. In this case it charged that South Carolina lost 2,500 because of an alleged con icy among ceitain men to de ud the State out of money, M. A. dman, L. W. Boykin, J. B. Towill, O. Tatufi, Dennis Weiskopf. On 's indictment was written today: ol1 prossed as to MW. A. Goodman, by ection of Attorney General Lyon." a is signed' by Hampton Cobb, so *r, and the orders were issued 'by dge DeVore, wNio is presiding over e term of court. In connection with the label deal it acharged in the indictment that the d eiconspired together and that lab- e s for $35.000 were purchased at one c e when the purchasing price gthave been reduced $22,500, in er words that the labels were worth only $11,000. State Defrauded of $1O9,000? The second indictment nol-pross as to Goodman, involves $100,000, nd the charge is that the State was efrauded of this amount by reason: >f a cons,i:mey on the part of the following: J. M. Rawlinson, J. B. Wy ie, John Black, J. T. Earley, M. A. mnan, H. Lee Solomons. The specific charge in connection! with this indictment is that rebates ere paid to the members of the oard and the same were paid by the ' nts mentioned above. he alleged "rebate schedule" is ade. a part of this indictment. It 1 be recalled that at the alleged~ ttrials, testimony was offered to how that there was a regular sche diele of rebates ranging from $1 per barrel to $5 per barrel on whiskies, and- from 50 cents per case to $1 per case~ on case goods. Iir the list of those indicted under this charge it will be noted that John T. Earley has already testified, and that, therefore, there is no case against him. Joe Wylie has also' b'een on the stand and testified un der promise of immunity. Some Back History. The fact that Goodman may come o:this tState and testify recalls much ~resting back history in connec We are g 30 days. N both medium the purchas ments. Ou not fail to C to buy now ROL ack $7,500 to the State. It can be tated that Mr. Weiskopf will not be ProsecQuted, Denni* WeisIopt was of he firm that sold the labels. It was igured that he had overcharged the ;tate, and the amount agreed upon o be refunded was $7,500. Morton Goodman is said to have in is possession much valuable infor ation in connection with the diS. >ensary matters. Hi:? nae was fre Luently mentioned in the alleged aft trials. Grand Jury Next Thursday. The grand jury comes back next 'hursday at 9.30 o'clock, and it is elieved that there will be witnesses n connection with one of the ;dispen ary indictments pointed out above efore the jury at that time. It has been announced that the ases- would not come up at Chester, o it is very probable that the pres nt term of the criminal court here ril'l try at .least one of the cases. Vhile this' is partly a surmise, indi ations are that this will be the out ome, especially should Goodman ap ear here Thursday in the conspi acy. The general impress,Ion here to ight in court circle is that the speci .c purpose for which the grand jury rill reconvene next Thursdlay, is the onsideration of the dispensary mat er. There is no 'understanding ,mong counsel that the cases will ome up at this term of court. If Goodman should come back to he State to testify for the prosecu ion in the alleged graft trials, he rould testify before the court in the wo cases which have been nol rossed. Should he testify at the aeeting, df the grand jury next hursday, it would be in other cases, ecause true bills have already been eturned in the two cases referred o in the announcement of Solicito'' obb.
