UNIQUE. CASE IN COURT.
Tennessee Men Accused of Conspirn-
cy to Dcfraud Uncle Sam.


Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. IA. Judge
Clark of the federal court, sitting at
Greenvilles Tenn, has decided case
which, so far as known, is without
precedent.
III. III. Gouchenour, the Democratic
county chairman of Greene county,
sought campaign contributions, and in
order to secure them he went to Demo
cratic postmasters In the county and
asked them to contribute SO each,
Gouchenour agreeing to mail enough
political documents through their Of
fees SO that their increase in pay, bas-
ed on stamp cancellations, these being
fourth class offices, would amount to
as much as or more than the amounts
asked for campaign purposes. The ef-
feet would be to increase the pay of
fourth class postmasters at the ex-
pense of the government.
Three indictments were found at the
last term of court against him and cer-
tain postmastcrs on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
TO these indictments demurrers were
filed based on the theory that no Of
fenses are charged, as person has the
right TO mail matter on which postage
has been paid in any postoffice in the
United States. These demurrers have
been sustained by Judge Clark.
An appeal to the United States court
of appeals at Cincinnati has been tax
en- by Attorney General Wright.
Gouchenour is n prominent Demo
crat and ran for congress at the last
