postponed. in order that two motions
might be presented to the court.
The first was petition asking that
the government be directed to file a
bin of particulars supplying issues of
the Watson magazine, the Jefferson
ian, in which the alleged language APP
peared. This was complied with.
The second motion, upon which ar
gument was uncompleted, asked the
quashng of the Indictment.
Augusta. Ga, Oct. 20.-Thomas e.
Watson, a lawyer, publicist and one
time Presidential candidate of the
Peoples party, today, was placed on
trial in the United States district
court here on a charge of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails. The
specific charge against Watson is that
he published, in July, 1911, and April
and May OF 1872, certain alleged ques
tions which he claimed were asked
by Roman Catholic priests TO persons
in confessional. which questions, the
Indictment alleges, We're obscene.
These questions appeared in series
of articles attacking the Roman
church and especially the
priesthood. It is the plan of the de-
Tense to conduct it's fight upon the
ground that the articles published in
magazine We're written by
Watson as editor and that his convie
ton on the charges. as set out in the
indictment would be in violation of
the constitutional guarantee Of free
iom of the press.
After hearing a long argument by
Watson's attorneys on a motion to
luash The Indictment the court re-
served decision and adjourned, until

really suffered from the effects Of the
storm seems to be r. c. Howard, the
rural free delivery carrier on route No.
2 from Gaffney. Mr.. Howard had only
traversed q few miles Of his route
when the storm struck him, overturn-
ing his mail cart. Before Mr.. Howard
could escape from the cart the second
blast struck him, rolling the cart over
again with the unfortunate carrier in
side. Mr.. Howard was finally forced
to knock one of the windows out OF
the side of the cart to escape, the exit
being effectually closed by the side OF
a steep embankment. The carrier was
not seriously injured, but the mail,
exposed to the heavy rain, was almost
ruined. Quite number of papers were
reduced to pulp and some Of the let
ters Jared almost as badly. Mr.. How
ard came to Gaffney and secured as
sistance and the substitute carrier
finished the route with what mail re-
manned after the ravages of the storm
