Most of the persons who have dis
cussed the matter with me have been
Of the opinion that he could be fairly
tried in Georgia, but there has beea
some expression of opinion to the coz
trary.
IF l should at any time conclude
that Editor Watson has violated the
statutes of the United States outside IF
Georgia, and that he could not be pun
ished for so doing within that state,
and that cindication of the law re-
quired that he should be tried else
where, l should not hesitate to take
steps intended to bring about that re-
suit.
ISLANDERS, false statements and
threats such as are being INDUCED in,
have not in the past and will not in the
future, affect my duty as a public Off
cial. The only effect they can con-
ceivably have is, in some sense, to in
dictate that possibly the federal govern
ment might be substantially impeded
in enforcing criminal laws within the
limits of the state of Georgia. l have
not yet convinced myself that the ex-
pressions referred to are more than the
talk of irresponsible and reckessl in
Gividuals, and I still believe that the
reputable and right minded people of
your state respect the laws of the
union and stand for their enforcement
Il have not at any time made any
public statement of any character in
regard to Editor Watson or his prose
oution, but in order that the people OF
Georgia may not be deceived as to my
attitude, l am giving a copy of this
