BIasphemy and Rot.
The court read sentence after SEN
tence of blasphemy, sacrilege and pure
rot from q drama, "WOrld Peace"
written and published by Mrs. O'Hare,

Maybe it is good for the American
people to get that stuff now in this

place on American soil in times of
war or in peace.

She attacked the conduct of the
case; Judge Wade's rulings on points
of law; the integrity of the court; the
honesty of the prosecution and the in
telligence of the jury.
She told of having delivered her
Bowman speech in North Carolina,
when the draft riots were at their
