In Itesponse to Gov. Mease's Request
for Certain Information Attorney
j
General States Tliat Atlanta Law
Firm Kmpowered Only to Offer Immunity.
Giving the list of those who were
promised Immunity, because of having,
either turned State's evidence or
giyen certain evidence, or giving up
certain information, a defence of the
granting of immunity and much other
lhteresting data that the general public
had heretofore been unacquainted
, with. Attorney General J. Frazer Lyon
Friday afternoon sent to Governo*
Cole L. Blesse a letter, in reply to the
one sent to the Attorney General by
Governor Mease on the day the dispensary
commission was dismissed.
The letter was "released for publication"
by Governor Mease, upon Attorney
General's Lyon's statement
that the newspaper men would have
to get permission of the Governor for
the letter to be published. i
The letter given out by Attorney
General Lyon this afternoon is the
first public statement he has made <
since the whole dispensary situation i
was revivod by Governor Mease s ]
calling for an investigation, except '
IM f I.vrm'a rnniipyf tn thn I .oir i?l fit II re

Mr. Lyon has no statements to <
make at this time. 1
Attorney General's Letter.
The following is the letter in full:
4 Columbia, S. C., March 23, 1911. }
"Governor C. L. Blease, Columbia, |
3. C.?Dear Sir: Replying to you. <
letter of the 1 4t.h instant, I will say: ,
''M. A. Goodman was indicted by <
fit
the grand jury of Richland county. 1
Upon his giving me certain evidence <
showing the guilt of former dispen- ,
sary officials, and furnishing me in- f
formation as to how other evidence of j
similar nature could be obtained, nol r
pros was, or will be in due time, en- f
tered upon indictments against him. ^
"J. T. Early and J. B. Wylie testi- j
fled as witnesses for the State in eev- t
eral cases. Their testimony has iarge- v
ly appeared in public prints. On ac' E
count of this, I shall not preso in- c
dictments against them and have j
agreed to institute no further pro- \
ceedings against them in behalf ot i]
the State. t
"Henry Samuels testified before the s
/dispensary commission, and in the j,
/(Srttninal Court as a State's witness.
I have, therefore, agreed to discon- jj
stinue prosecution against him. n
"I. W. Bernheim and others were 0
indicted in Chester and it was agreed ti
(that he, as witness, should give bond p
In the Sum of $5,000 or deposit, in w
lien thereof $5,000 in cash, and if he b<
shall not duly appear, the cash to be p
forfeited, otherwise to be turned over w
to the State dispensary commission, ol
Five thousand dollars has been de- p<
posited with the Clerk of Court at a
^heBter. fc
"I. W. Bernheim and B. Bernheim in
aid the State dispensary commission cm
t one time $53 0,000, and at another ai
3 4,000, for overchargevS on liquors b(
sold the dispensary. Taking into 01
consideration all the circumstances, I pi
have agreed to nol pros as to I. W. A
Bernheim.
"Upon indictments against D. Welskopf
nol pros will be entered, upon C)
his testifying the truth, as a witness ^
In behalf of the State, with reference n,
to sale of large quantities of labels w
sold by Nivison Weiskopf to the State ce
dispensary. p(
"J. (S. Farnura was indicted, tried vj
and acquitted. Thereafter, lie plead
guilty and was fined $5,000. Upon
other indictments against him nol ^
pros was, or will be, entered. U
At to Col. Dudley.
"C. W. Dudley, in addition to giv- in
fng evidence to the State dispensary ai
commission, testified in Chester in tl
the case against John Black and oth- d<
ars, as a (State's witness, and I have ol
agreed not to prosecute him. ai
"B. M. Wilson has furnished infor- ft
mation concerning certain transac- T
tions between the Richland Distl'leo A
Oompany and the former State dis- u
pensary and has agreed to testify in
regard thereto, and I have agreed s(
that I will not prosecute him for, or l
on account of, his connection with ii
the transactions ahout which he tes- n
tified. a:
"G. H. Charles gave informal ion v
generally as to dispensary transac- o
tions; testified before tho grand jury r<
in the case against H. If. Evans and S
was employed as a detective. On ac- c
count of the above it was not my pur- tl
pose to prosecute him, even though it p
should have been determined that an t!
action would probably lie against
him. I am informed that Mr. Charles l1
has recently died. t
"W. D. Roy testified as a witness a
for the State In the case against John p
Black, et al, and before the grand f<
Jury, besides giving assistance In li
.. working up the cases. It is my pur- e
rose not to prosecute him. e
oannot recall anyone else who d
? hdT agreed to turn State's evidence, p
or whom I have agreed not to prose- s
cute. But If I find that any name Las e
kbeen In any manner overlooked, I d
will advise you upon the ascertain- f
ment thereof. I cannot say definitely
but am of the impression that among
those whom I have agred not to prosecute
the following were suggested by
Mr. Felder, as persons who would
give evidence for the State in sucn
actions as might be instituted: W.
D. Roy, B. M. Wilson, D. Weiskopff,
T. T. Early, C. W. Dudley and M. A.
Goodman.
On Ills Own Responsibility.
"I am unable to make the definite
statement that Mr. Felder suggested
that the persons above should not be
prosecuted, for the reason that I, as
Attorney General, have exercised this
power upon my own responsibility,
and in accordance with my own judgment.
"Referring to that part of your letter,
which asks what civil actions
were settled or compromised and the
terms thereof, will say: That the
civil actions instituted were iu charge
of Messrs. Anderson, Felder, Rountroe
and Wilson, Mr. W. F. Stevenson
and Mr. B. L. Abney, 'Messrs. Aoney
and Stevenson having active
charge and management thereof. Mr.
Stevenson has furnished me the following
list of civil actions, which
have been compromised. The actions
were compromised for the payment
of money, the amount of which is
stated opposite the names of the defendants
pivon halnwr
Gallagher & Burton, $11,395.94;
r.,anahan & Sons, $14,083.46; GraDfelder
& Co., $15,297.17; RoskamGerstley
Company, $3,066.37; Freidman-Keiler
Company, $1,585; MeyoiPitts
& Co., $3,437.50; Jack Cranston
Company, $802.21; American
Bonding Company, $5 00.
"Tn several of the above cases the
defendants had presented claims
against the State, which were disallowed.
Such amounts are in addition
to the amount of moneys to
which reference is above made.
"The Act of 1910 authorized the
dispensary commission to make settlement
of such claims.
l'mvfi' Ut Offpr Onlv.
"Answering your inquiry as to that
part of the contract entered into between
the State dispensary commission
and Anderson, Felder, Rountree
and Wilson, wherein it is provided
hat Anderson, Felder, Rountree and
Wilson are clothed with full power,
subject alone to the approval of the
\ttorney General of the State, to of'er
any of the parties involved imnunity
from prosecution, will say:
rhe power to offer immunity was
jiven this firm, but the power to
;rant immunity, that is, to refuse to
prosecute, or, in case of indictment,
o nol pros, was left as the law prorIdes,
in the discretion of the Attoriey
General. In view of this power
>f the Attorney General, this provis011
was inserted in the contract.
Vhether any person should not be
ndicted, or if indicted, should have
he indictment against him, remains
o far as the contract is concerned,
ust as the law provides.
"The policy of the State to allow
nmunity under the circumstances
jay be fairly inferred from the Act
f 1 906, providing for the lnvestigaon
of the dispensary, wherein it is
rovided that no testimony given r)>
itnesses before the committee shall
e used against them in a criminal
rosecution. This provision of law
as perpetuated and became a pan
f the law under which the State disensary
commission was created,
cts of 1907, page 835.) So it must
jllow, independently of the law givig
such power to the Attorney Gen- '
ral, that such of those whose names :
re mentioned above, who testified
*fore the investigating committee, *
: the State dispensary commission,
radically have immunity under this
ct. 1
Attorney General Has Discretion. '
"Hut aside from the manifest poll- ;
r of the Legislature, as contained in
je above mentioned Act, the Attor- (
zy General has discretion as to J
hen, how and against whom to pro>ed
in criminal cases. He has the
)wor to enter a nolle prosequi
rtue of his office, independently of
je Court. (Ency. of Law, 23, pages j
7 5 and 276. State vs. Howard, 15
ich Law, 27 4. State vs. MeKee, 1 '
alley, 651). The rule is laid down
t the McKee case that the prosecutig
officer may enter a nolle prosequi
L any state of the proceedings until
le jury are charged; but he cannot '
t) so afterwards, not at least in case '
F an indictment for a capital offence, '
ad if he is permitted to do so its ef?ct
is the acquittal of the prisoner,
he above rule is also recognized in
rcUbold's Criminal Practice, Vol- 1
me I, page 317.
"In Bishop on Criminal Procedure,
3Cond edition, Volume 1, Section
,020, it is said: 'If the prosecutor
l the English practice wishes to
lake use of one of the defendants
s a witness, the Court will permit, a
erdict of acquittal to be taken at
nee in his case, and thus he will be
onderod competent. In our own
tates the ready method in such clrumstances
would ordinarily be for
he prosecuting ofllcer to enter a nol
ros as to the defendant whose tesimony
ho wished to use.'

lishop, Volume 1, Section 1,076: 'In
ho United States, where prosecutions
re Instluted and carried on by a
ublic prosecutor, who acts directly
or the Government and protects Its
aterests, there is-an evident proprity
in considering it to be within the
xclusive discretion of this officer to
etermine whether or not an accoinlice
should be permitted to turn
tate's evidence, as it is sometimes
xpressed with us, and whether, if he
oes, ho Is afterward entitled to be no
urther prosecuted by reason of what
is thus done.'
"It is not easy to say what, in act,
is the practice on this point in all the
States, but it is believed that, in
most of them, the prosecuting officer
acts in such cases upon his own dis(Continued
on second page.)
cretion, which is little, if at all, controlled
by the Courts
Authorities Cited.
"That the discretion is reposed In
the prosecuting officer independently
of the Court in this State is shown in
the McKee case and others hereinafter
referred to. In the case of Rogers
vs. Hill, 2 2 R. I., page 498, it is
said: "The practice of entering a
nnlln f\t*Acnmil r\ In fnrtnnMnnu ia
Il\/I IV pi VOVVJ Ul t\/ 1111 VI lllllti Vl VC1 1Q
very ancient, but to indictments it began
in the latter end of the reign of
Charles II.' It is further said in this
case that 'there are three periods of
a prosecution in which a nolle prosequi
may be entered, before a jury is
empanelled, while the case is before
the jury and after the verdict. In
the first, it is perfectly clear that a
nol pros may be entered at the pleasure
of the prosecuting officer; such
is the constant practice. It may be
that the Indictment is defective, and
he may wish to procure another; he
may discover that the evidence will
turn out indifferently from what he
expected and he may wish to vary
the charge to make it conform to the
proof, or he may have good reason
for not wishing to prosecute at all.
" 'There may be innumerable causes
for discontinuing the prosecution,
all of which he may judge upon his
official responsibility. In many cases
the discontinuance may operate to
the prejudice of the defendant, but
never to the injury of his iegai
rights. It is not to be presumed that
this officer will violate his duty or
act oppressively.' And it is further
said in the case that he exorcises that
power wholly upon his official responsibility,
without the advice or
permission of the Court.
"In the case of the State vs.
Thomas, 75 S. C., 479-480, the rule
in the McKee case as to the power
to enter a nolle prosequi is reaffirmed.
In the case of the State vs. Cardoza,
11 S. C., 1 97, it appears that Richard
H. Gleaves, Samuel J. Lee, Josephus
Woodruff, A. O. Jones and Francis
L. Cardoza were indicted for conspiracy.
The Attorney General, the Hon.
Jas. Conner, called this case for trial
and entered a nolle proseque as to
the defendants, Samuel J. Lee Josephus
Woodruff and A. O. Jones;
Richard H. Gleaves not having been
arrested, the trial proceeding against
Francis Cardoza alone. (See Page
201.) It appears from the case as .
recorded that Gleaves, Woodruff and
Jones were used as State's witnesses.
It will also be noted with interest
that three of my most distinguished
predecessors in office, the Hon. Leroy
Youmans, the Hon. James Conner and
the Hon. C. R. Miles appeared as attorneys
for the State.
During Reconstruction. ]
"The following quotation from 'A
Voice from South Carolina,' Leland,
thrown an interesting light upon the
practice of the prosecuting attorney
in this State granting immunity. It .
is in reference to prosections for <
frauds committed during the Reconstruction:
"More than thirty true
hills have been found by grand juries
of Richland County, not very much
varied in their character, and cover- .
ing a long list of names. Sometimes ^
five or six names would be embraced
under the same indictment and sometimes
the same name would be found
several times repeated. For instance,
the name of Cardoza will be found
on nine separate indictments.
" 'With this explanation, only the (
following names can now be found on
the docket: H. H. Kimpton, D. H.
Chamberlain, R. K. Scott, F. J. Moses,
N. G. Parker, F. L. Cardoza, Robert
Smalls, J. Li. Neigle, F. S. Jacobs,
(Solomons Bank), B, F. Whittemore, .
3olomon L. Hoge, Y. J. Powers, Thos. i
(J. Dunn, R. H. Gleaves, Samuel J.
Lee, Josephus Woodruff, A. O. Jones
ind L. Cass Carpenter.
" 'Of these, Parker, L. Cass Carpenter.
Cardoza and Smalls have
been tried and convicted on one in- iictment
each; so far, the other crim- i
Inals have not been accessible.
" 'Immunity has been granted to
very many, mostly members of the
Legislature, as in the seventy-five
examined in Patterson's case. In oth3r
cases, as Woodruff's, Jones . Mash's
and some others, promises 01 1
restitution were exacted and complied
with, and thus the State was
relieved of a large amount of indebt
odness by the surrender of papers.
IIow much, If any, money was refunded,
has never come to light.'
"On page 228 of this book it is ^
stated that N. (}. Parker was tried
and convicted in the summer of IS75,
under an indictment of larceny and
breach of trust with fraudulent intent;
escaped from jail, was recaptured
and finally pardoned for that offence,
on the promiso to tell all he \
knew.
"I have qdotcd at length from the
above ahthorities, in order that it
may appear that it has always been
the law and the practice in this State
or the prosecuting officer to deter- mine
who should, and who should \
not bo prosecuted, and whom he
should allow to become State's evidence.
