sending obscene matter through the

had been no technical violation of the
statute, and Judge Stevens suspended
sentence to the September term Of

fer with other judges on the point
raised. Should the defense be sus-
tained on this point there can be no
action against persons who write OBJ
scene matter in communications in

case of the Holberg girl the letter fell
into the hands of woman Of the
