Because Atticus was trying to defend Tom Robinson and protect the mob from causing harm to him. They even had to change him to another jail because of the people of Maycomb trying to get at him. (They weren't so much after Atticus as they were trying to get him out of the picture, in order to hurt Tom Robinson...)
I hope this helps a little :)
