WATSON BACK
ON TRIAL TODAY
Georgia Publisher Charged With Hav-
ing Sent Obscene Matter
Through Mails.

Augusta, Ca, Nov. 27.-Thomas e.
Watson, one time candidate for the
presidency on the Populist ticket, will
BE- called to trial in federal district
court here today on a charge Of hav-
ing sent obscene matter through the
mails. It is the third time Watson,
Ia publisher and author of historical
works, has faced trial on the same
charges. The first Indictment was
quashed nearly two years ago on
technicalities. He was re-indicted
and last December after lengthy
trial the jury disagreed.
The publisher, whose home is at
Thomson, Ga, near here, is under an
indictment containing four counts
based on articles published in his mag
azines, which the Indictment states
violate the federal code. At his pre-
vious trial, which began year ago
tomorrow, Watson claimed immunity
for the matter objected to on the
ground that it consisted of excerpts
from works on Roman Catholic the
ology which had gone through the
mails without question. The matter
was used by him in attacks on the
Roman Catholic Church and its Of
fcials.
Watson, who previous to his re-
tirement from legal life was regarded
as one of the most brilliant members
Of the Georgia bar, acted as his own
leading counsel at the first trial and
was expected to take that role again.
Both he and the prosecution were ex-
pected to go to great lengths in Sc
lection of jury. The former Popu-
list leader stated at his previous trial
;hat his political and legal activities
IS well as his attacks on the Catholic
Church had made him many enemies,
IS we'll as many friends" making diff
