The grand jury in the federal court at
Creston last week returned an indict-
ment against Henry Doris, of this city,
for sending obscene letters through the
mail. One of these letters was adj
dressed to lady in Mt. Ayr and the
epistle was turned over to Post Office
Inspector John Mahin, when he was in
Mt. Ayr about two months ago. Mr..
Mahin reported to Lewis Miles, United
States district attorney, who brought
the evidence in the case to the atten-
tion of the grand jury in the federal
court, and as result an Indictment was
returned. Mr.. Doris has been regard
ed as well meaning citizen, and has
always taken a part in camp meetings.
However, during the meetings held in
Mt. Ayr last summer, he grew repentant
and confessed to large audience one
Sunday evening that his conduct had
not been entirely in keeping with the
moral teachings Of the Scriptures. His
case will come up for trial at the next
session of the federal court in Creston.
