burgh was being shown over the high
court Of justiciary He made some re-
mark concerning the dock and it's du-
ties, and in reply the official jokingly
said the visitor might one day be SEN

The sightseer was the notorious DR..
Pritchard. Two years later In the dock
he had so closely inspected he was
doomed to death for poisoning his wife
and mother-in-law.

SHAMROCK WILL Be
AN EXTREME TYPE

! London, Dec. 13.--The Times has a
long article this morning evidently
written by an expert, discussing the
Shamrock W, Sir Thomas Lipton's
new yacht whose keel has just been
laid down. The article has the title
Forecast but it does not go much
beyond probabilities which are how
ever likely to be based on a certain
amount of inside information. The
writer says:
THE challenger will be, without
doubt, as extreme a type as the rule
will permit, n a boat of abnormal
proportions may be expected"
He believes that the weight of the
lead keel is much under ninety tons,
as lately reported. He points out that
Nicholson's latest boats have tremen-
dously long o~verhangs, and that this
type Of craft has been uniformly sue
~cessful. but leaves the reader to draw
his own differences in~ regard to the
Shamrock ".
Some of the preliminary trials will
be held at Torbay. 1t is proposed that
they be held under conditions approx
1mating the actual conditions Of the
contest as near as possible, including
the American starting method.

He at once made up his mind to
institute the same methods he was
used to in Chicago, which he knew
the only way to develop a win

from several players in the club who
seemed to prefer going along at their
gait instead of learning the ways
of a winning team"

TRIAL OF WATSON
CLOSES ABRUPTLY
Federal Judge Sustains Motion to
Squash Indictment Against
Georgia Editor.

Augusta, Ca. Dot. 21.-The tria,
here of Thomas E. Watson, charged
with sending obscene matter through
the mails ended abruptly at noon to-
day when Federal Judge Rufus E.
Foster sustained the motion of the
defense quashing the indictment
against the Georgia editor.
Immediately upon the announce
ment of the courts ruling there was
a demonstration by the audience,
which Judge Foster permitted to pass
unrebuked. .
+ In directing that the indictment
be quashed Judge Foster said:
1T appears in this Indictment that
the publications alleged to have been
sent through the mails in violation
OF the law are extracts from a COM
p ute article. 1t is my opinion that
the Government is required to plead
the entire article and is not entitled
to pick out few paragraphs here
and there and make them the basis
of an indictment"
He added that If the Government
were allowed to pursue such course
it would be possible to indict a per-
son for sending through the mails a
copy of the Bible. Judge Foster said
that in sustaining the motion of the
defense he was not ruling upon the
question as to whether or not the ar
ticles were obscene, and that the
Government might at any time pro
ceed to reindlct.
Watson addressed the court I'm his
own behalf. The announcement that
Watson would speak packed the court
room with an orderly audience.
Watson's address TO the court was
an argument that the statute under
which he is being prosecuted was aim
ed at persons sending literature deal
ing with vicious and degrading uses
Of drugs and not at papers or pamph-
let's of the nature of his magazine.
The indictment charges that copy
of the editors magazine making an
attack upon the Roman Cathd 10
Church contained obscene language
which the writer represented as be-
ing questions asked by priests of
those in the confessional.
Watson's attorneys concluded their
argument for an annulment OF the in
dictment principally on the ground
of constitutional guarantee for a
free press. Judge Foster ruled that
the contention OF the liberty of the
press wash eside the issue.
