United States District Judge Foster
of New Orleans, sitting at Augusta,
Ga, in place of Judge speer, re
cused, dismissed the case against
Thomas E. Watson for sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails, and
an attempt to secure a new indict-
ment by the federal grand jury is
stated to have failed. The prosecu-
ffon Of Mr.. Watson was based on
the publication OF attacks on the
Catholic church in his newspaper.
The accused argued his own case,
eontending that it was illegal to Sc
lect segregated parts of articles as
a basis for criminal prosecution
that the entire article must be quot
ed in each instance-and that il his
articles were decided to be obscene
and unavailable, the bible would be
subject to the same characterization
and prohibition.
