Evangelist Convicted of Using
Vulgar Language in the
PRESENCE OF LADIES
The Georgia Court Of Appeals Do
cides Against Rev. Walt Holcombe,
Son-in-Lav OF the Late Rev. Sara
P. Jones, Who Had Appealed Esosa
Lower Court.

The defendant was clearly guilty,
and the record presents no, revers.
ible error" declared the Georgia
State Court Of Appeals in sustafs-
ing the-Verdict of guilty against Rev.
Walt Holcombe, Of Cartersville, Ca.
convicted Of using "profane, obscene
and vulgar language in the presenee
of females"
DR.. Holcombe, an evangelist, and
son-in-law Of the late Rev. Sam
P. Jones, was indicted for certain
remarks he made at meeting ia
the Gainesville tabernacle, in tg
presence Of ladies. He appealed the
case, and the higher court sustainei
the verdict Of guilty.
'It was not the rinaldry Of some
low grade comedian in a second class
theatre" said the court 1T was the
indescent jest Of minister Of the
gospel, made in q house devoted tn
the services Of God, in the presence
Of some three thousand worshipers,
aimed at female member Of the
congregation, whose excess Of adj
pose upon an unmentionable part Of
ner person happened to excite his
attention"
The case against Evangelist .Hoi-
combe has been in the public eye
at intervals for several months, and
las attracted wide attention, becaussE
Of its unique features and the prom
ileuce Of the minister.
The annual tabernacle revival
meetings were in progress in Car
tersville, and Evangelist Holcomba
was in charge OF the services. A
meeting fer men only had been ad.
vertised and arranged for partie-
ular Sunday afternoon and it Is re-
corded that great crowd gathered.
Rev. Mr. Oliver was to address the
men.
Following the services for men the
regular services were to be held
On this particular Sunday after
noon it began to rain very hard just
before the meeting for men was to
begin, and a number of women
sought shelter under the tabernacle.
The court record shows that Mis-
lister Oliver, who was to address tbs
men, suggested to Evangelist Eol-
combe that the women retire, so .ths
meeting could proceed, as peg sched-
ule.
Evangelist Holcombe advised the
women to retire, and his remarks
we're such as to lead to- his indic.-
ment and subsequent conviction Tor
using "profane, obscene and vulsas
language in the presence of females.
The minister's remarks, accord
Ing to the record, were aimed at one
particular woman, whose back was
>.urned to the rostum from which ke
vas talking. She was a particularly
large woman, and his remarks re-
Serred, in part, to her adipose.
In passing on the case, the court.
Of appeals declares that the word
profane" Is regarded as surplusas..
where the language set forth is, as
matter Of law, not profane, but Is
obscene and vulgar.
''As used in the code, obscene
and vulgar language includes aHy
toul words which would reasonably
offend the sense of modesty and de-
cency of the woman, or women, or
my CT them, in whose presence they
we're uttered"
Evangelist Hclcombe will have tc
oay the fine Of $500 and cost, which
was imposed by the trial judge a.
Gainesville.

OLDER BOYS TO Be LET IN
TO BE CONSIDERED IN NEW
SCHEME FOR FAIRGROUNDS.
Plan to Be Proposed at Conference
of School and Association Rep
resentatives This Afternoon.

Some scheme. to permit older boys to
use school Fairgrounds. for which they
raised much money, will be evolved at
a conference to be held this afternoon.
Those present will be Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey. chairman of the board
of education's committee on Fairgrounds;
Capt. James r. Oyster. president of the
board; Henry S. Curtis, supervisor of
Fairgrounds for the Washington Play
ground Association. and A. r. Stuart. su-
perintendent of schools.
Except at the smallest of the school
Fairgrounds. it is believed some ar
rsngement will be made, either by divi-
sion of time or division of space. whereby
older boys will be given chance for
their games. BY using the schoolyards
of both girls and boys at several of the
schools, it Is declared, the space can be
divided so that both the small children
and the older boys can have room to play.
This will necessitate gate between the
two yards and other small alterations.
These details will be discussed this after
noon.
Supervisor Curtis announced this morn
ing that it has been found practicable TO
allow the older boys to use parts of the
school Fairgrounds at eight schools
Ross Henry. Curtis. Jefferson, Towers.
ketcham, Edmonds and Birney. At four
other schools. he added, it is expected
some arrangements for the older boys
can be made. These schools are the
Arthur. Dennison. Magruder and Bell.
Supervisor Curtis was busy this morn
ing loking over the ground plans of the
school Fairgrounds in the city and exam
ming each to determine what arrange
mefits can best be made to accommodate
the older boys. He will outline his plans
and then present them at the conference
this afternoon.
The school authorities at the confer
ence will. it is understood. be strong in
their demands for accommodations for
the older boys. They maintain that the
older boys we're asked to contribute and
to help raise money for the maintenance
Of the Fairgrounds this summer. and
were not told of the rule that boys over
thirteen years of age are not to be al
lowed to use the school Fairgrounds.
to promulgate the rule now and keep the
DOyS out.
