university. The question IS, does tins Latin
as 1t stands tend 10 corrupt the public morals!
In standard histories whenever there Is an
expression which the author considers too CD
scene for English he prints IN a footnote in
Latin AS | stated, in libel case the Latin
might be translated and show malice but we
are not even charged with malice. for we can
not even get out goot intention before the
jury And in this case Mr.. Watson cannot
be charged with responsibility for anything
except what the average reader secured from
reading the matter in Latin. A dead langu-
age stands between the public and this alleged
obscenity'
Mr.. Watson here took up the argument and
asked what would be the attitude of the dis
trlct attorney IN regard to big publishing
house like Lippincott, Harper's and others
biographies with Latin footnotes
"Wouldnt the book as whole be put Ing"
he asked. cor would they be indicted just for
the footnotes?" He said almost every stand
ard history contained Latin footnotes Of mat
ter which taken by themselves might be CON
sidered obscene.

thing before the jury which no one ever did

defendant.
"Consider the eminent authors Carlyle, the
great Scotch Presbyterian, in his life Of
the Fifth" Halam's Middle Ages" all have
footnotes, like I had printed in Latin because
they were not decent enough to print in
English. There is matter in the works Of
Luther, Knox and Calvin in Latin which has
never been questioned and which they con-
sidered unfit to print in live language"
Prof. Pulliam translated the Latin after
the court had overruled vigorous objection.
The defendant charges that it was matter
which Roman Catholic priests were taught
concerning the confessional, giving questions
which he alleges were asked III the confess
sonal.
After the translation had been completed
Prof. PulIian was questioned by Mr.. Don
aldson.

The witness also said that splendid Latin
scholars had pronounced it unintelEgble,
that much of it could not be read with an or
