1929-10-18 Correspondence from E.B. Williams to Florida Governor Carlton Regarding Failure to Arrest a Criminal

A series of letters from E.B. William's of Madison County, Florida reguarding a situation in which the sheriff of Madison County and the sheriff (Douglass) of Columbia County fail to arrest W.L. Haines convicted of operating an automobile while intoxicated. Each sheriff claims the man cannot be found in their county, when at given points he was known to be present. Williams claims that "both of these Sheriffs are liars" and implies that they are deliberately avoiding making the arrest.
