WATSON ID TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL
 TECHNICAL POINTS
Georgia Author on Trial on Charge of Sending Ob- scene Matter in Mail.
 Admits Nothing

Augusta, Ga, November 27.-Thomas F. Watson, at the opening of his trial in federal court here today on charges of having sent obscene matter through the mails. laid upon the government the burden of proof that he was re- sponsible for the mailing, and also stated that he was merely president of the corporation which published the magazines containing the articles cited. Selection of jury was com pleted in an hour and a half and the trial started rapidly forward only to be delayed by a detailed examination of witnesses by whom District Attor- ney Earl E. M. Donaldson sought to prove the defendant was responsible for the mailing.
 During the trial on the same charges last November, which result ed in the jury disagreeing, Watson admitted connection with the mailing "I don't shirk any responsibility" he said then.
 Today the district attorney asked Watson if he cared to make the same admission and. without entering a de- n;al, the defendant, who, as a mem Der of the bar. acted as his own lead ing counsel, replied, make out your case, MT. District Attorney" Watson also declared that the Jeffersonian Publishing company is a corporation and that he is merely president" of the company which, he added, has other officers as we'll as stockholders

 Before Leaving for Berlin

Washington, November 27.-Ambassador Gerard had a final conference with Sec retary Lansing today preparatory to sail ing for Germany on December 5.

 While at the state department also Mir. Gerard went over the Mexican situation, presumably to be in a position to give first-hand information on the subject to Germany. which has many interests there.
 As to the submarine situation. Mir. Gerard will be in position to say that the position of the American government Is unaltered and that 1t expects Germany to fulfll her pledges.

However, after waiting as long as my patience would allow, started proceedings for my liberty The state fought this and after we were allowed bond by Judge Pugh the state appealed. or rather gave notice of appeal.'s
 Both Nails and Brooks expressed their gratitude for the turn the case took in Huntsville. when Overton sub stantiated their testimony They were more optimistic than they have been since their imprisonment, and are anx- cus to be out and about their busf- ness again.
 Praise was given the Jefferson coun- ty jail for the way they were cared for and the considerations given them by Sheriff Batson and his men.
