WHAT IsAS IsDEcEsT PICTURE The stersoscopic
pictures Of feminine attractions usually concealed, the
exposure of which in the wndO ws along Broadway we
have so often reprehended were the subject Of legal
proceedings yesterday The Federal law prohibits the
importation of anything obscene or indecent AL These
pictures ere imported, most of them from England
and they constitute nearly one-eishth Of oil the
Microscopic groups tod this country The pictures
placed before the United States District Court ysser
day were seized by the Custom-HOuse officers as in.
decent and the question raised to wha consti
stituted indecency in stereo,copic picture. The
officials object to liberal exhibitions of long hosiery
and great mass Of testimony was taken as to wnat
constitutes indecency One witness mad thought they
were ndeicate nearly as much go as the ballet; he
would not take his children to either Most of the
dealers testified that they had taken no pains to con-
oea this style of pictures; that ladies' ss well as gen.
tleme n, examined and bought them and that nothing
was said by anybody to their decency or indecercy
The importer in this case had bought Of two English
houses both of which lie had in his order, cautioned
against sendipg him anything immodest. The case is
still pending.
