Petition for Injunction Dismissed on
<;roiln<Is Slate Had not Pul up j
liMni iMdeiue to Prove Thai
(luii Was n Common Nuisance.
The third and probably the- last
step was taken Monday afternoon in
the petition to enjoin the Eagle's
Club from receiving, storing and
s.iiing alcoholic bevsragas and
liquors when Judge DeVore dtemlss
?d the petttton for Injunction on the,
grounds that sufficient evident had
not been produced by the State to
prot/t that the Eagle'* eluh was aj
common nulsanee and to show that
as such should be perpetually en?
joined from receiving, storing and
otherwise disposing of alcoholic
itqUOfl and beverages.
The reply to the petition for per
petnal Injunction was that the flub
v as not a common nuisance and
that nothing Illegal or Irregular was
done In the club rooms. The re?
turns first stated that the service
had been made on Mr. C. H. Dorn, as
proprietor of the club, when In fact
Mr. Porn had nothing more to do
with the club than any other mem- J
mi rt ho having resigned as steward ;
and the present steward being J.
Murray Nelson. The defense,
moreover, set up the plea that the
service was not a good one as It had
been made to a member of the club
In the club rooms and not to the (
manager of the club. Judge DeVore
overruled this plea, stating that he '
considered this a good service.
The case was then continued and
the defense set out to prove that the
club was not a common nuisance as
was alleged In the petition for In?
junction. To do this, affidavits
from various merchants, members of
the grand Jury and others were read,
all of them going to show that the
club was not a common nuisance,
but was an orderly .social club In
good standing with the chartered
head of the order. Affidavits were
given by Messrs. Perry Moses, Jr.. V.
H. Phelps, J. It Mercer. H. K.
Brown, and others having offices or
business headquarters near or ad
Joining the club rooms, all of whom
Stated that they had n-\er been di*
turhed i j the .lit) mem her a It was
further shown that the club roomsI
wer?* <,j n to tadlet if the city who
... ..... v.o. ? ..in*
clal gatherings. It was maintained
that the club had done nothing Il?
legal In allowing Its members to
keep their private lockers, wheie
they could keep any whiskey that
they had If they desired to do so, or
in having a refrigerator for the use
of the members when they desired
to cool their private liquors. It also
stated that while it kept glasses and
a counter for them to be placed on,
for the convenience of the club
members. there was no open bar
room kept, as was alleged In the pe?
tition for inunction, and, especially
was this true as the club was not
open to the public at large.
Mr. Oeo. D. Levy, who represent?
ed the Eagle's club, then went on
to read affidavits from members of
the grand 1ury stating that they did
not know the club to be a common
nuisance where alcoholic liquors
were sold, several of the members of
the grand jury having submitted af?
fidavits to this effect.
It was claimed that all of the af?
fidavits submitted by the State wire
based upon hearsay and none of
them was sufficient to call for the
Issue of a perpetual Injunction. An
affidavit was then read from Detec?
tive Adams, who was here In March,
mo. to hunt up the blind tigers of
the city and who stated that he had
searched the club several times and
had found nothing to lead him to |
behexe that it was a regular ' l.nd
tlKer. but that he had always found
it In every way what It claimed to be
?a purely soc ial orgnntnstlon for
benm olsnl purpow a
J. Ii. Ilracey also submitted an af?
fidavit that he had been to the club
at the request of Mayor Jennings
to sec if there was any unhv fid
sale of liquor going en and t'.. I In
had failed to And nnythlng thai In
any wny led him to the conclusion
that Iber?- was. Mr. Levy then
start, ii out to read a loni list of
names of persons who had stated
that the Club was not to their knowl?
edge a common nuisance as it was
alleged to be. but Judge DeVore in?
terrupted Mm, saying that he had
already heard sufficient to lead him
to a decision in the case,
lb- tlo-n went on to state that in
Injunction, which he admitted was a
Very harsh remedy, was first used to
atop ths Illegal sab- ?.f liquor in
Charleston, where the sentiment wa?
in favor of it and where it was lm?
possible to fei a Jury to bring In a
erdlcl of guilty against any of the
known blind tigern, He said thai
the alhinvtls put in *vldenc< mi ?bis
l>o> malt? Were nil" i i t
severe measure of the Injunction ask*
< ii for, especially at the evidence put
up by tho State was mostly hearsay
and as detectives, hired for that
special purpose, were unable to And
anything wrong or against the laws
of the State in the club's methods of
operation.
The return made by the Uank of
Sumter, which, as the owner of the
building in which the club has its
rooms, was also enjoined, was that
.Indue DeVore had no right to order a I
perpetual Injunction it) chambers un?
der the pr -s -at circumstances, that
no proceedings for an injunction
OOUld he brought except where crim- j
inal proceedings had already been ,
started and the person or party en?
joined would he tried as a criminal
offender at a subsequent term of
the criminal court. It further al- |
leged that no summons had been j
made on the respondent and that i
therefore no action could be taken;
that there was already one petition
by the same parly for the same pur?
pose against the same respondent
and that two actions for the same j
thing could not he brought by one j
party against another party al the
Same time. Mr. Moise, w ho repre- j
scnted the Uank of Sumter, then
made a strong plea for the dismis- j
sal of the injunction on the ground
that government by injunction was
not a democratic procedure; was
against the doctrine set forth in the
platform of the Democratic party j
and against the doctrine ol free gov- j
eminent. He dwelt on the fact, and j
cit 'd from various authorities that a
circuit Judge had no authority in
? '. ambers to grant a perpetu I in- \
junction under circumstances as in I
this case.
Judge DeVore In ruling ? n the
( ase stated that he conside'? \ that
he had jurisdiction to grant i le in?
junction asked for. The evidence
put up on behalf of the State as
submitted by Solicitor Stoll ..as in
the form of affidavits from arious
parties In the city, chief among
whom was Mayor Jennings, stating
that they believed the club to be a'
i
resort where alcoholic liquors, wcro1
sold and was what the laws of *he
State call a common nuisance. iT. j
I>. (I. Muldrow and Chief Bradford
submitted affidavits stating tii fact
that the club had the appearanv] of
being a bar room when they raided
It last fall. A list of names of
those to whom liquor had been sd ip
ped to t the club .va Bttbml' od, j
sith the affidavit of the auditor,

aca. R'as owiubiiuiud b) the ttagle'f
Olub showing the names of members
of the club to whom the liquor* was
shipped, the list of names h^inq
similar to those with certain cf tho
initials of the persons left out. Jujge
DeVore stated that the State should
have gone further than to merely
state that the place had the appear?
ance of a bar, that It should have
enumerated In detail the vrticles
that gave it the appearance of being
such.
The petition for a perpetual in?
junction was therefore dismissed,
and the effort to prevent the club
i
from continuing operation as at
p' ^sent was unsuccessful.
Mr. D. D. Moise represented the
Dank of Sumter, Geo. D. L?v/ and
K. Dozier Lee, the Eagle's club and
Solicitor Stoll appeared on behalf of:
the State.
