Capone's lawyers went before circuit Judge Uly O. Thompson, obtained a writ that released their client because no formal charges had been filed against him. City Manager Frank H. Wharton announced that Miami would adopt Chicago's policy and arrest Capone on sight until he left town. Federal District Judge Halsted L. Ritter who had granted Capone an injunction against warrantless arrest by Florida sheriffs refused to broaden his order to include the Miami police.
