NAN Held on
$1,000 BOND
Activities Characterised AZ Uanil-
isated Crime. Admits Rsis-
ins Fund.

A man has the legal right to
test the constitutionality Of any
law during wartime or any other
time, but he must obey that law
in the meantime. Commissioners
Joseph A. Craft said yesterday
in regard to holding Pete Kauf-
man. a wealthy farmer of the
Bardstown road, near Fern Greek
to the October Federal grand
jury under s5. 900 bond on the
charge of interfering with the
draft.
By circulating a petition for
funds to test the law and using
a copy of the Jeffersonian to
obtain subscriptions, Kaufman
undoubtedly interfered with the
operation Of the law. The JEFF
fersonian which he carried to
induce the farmers in his locality
to donate contained statements
against the draft and has been
denied the mails by the Govern
m .nt.
Commissioner Craft character
lied the defendants activity in
wartime as an ''unmitigated
crime" He fixed the bond at
S., 200, although Assistant Fed
eral District Attorney s. Merrill
Russell requested only a small
) have in view Of the fact that
al. aaae,,cn a.cn, an seemed to have
sSashe was within his rights
in soliciting ,n~.s,,,ds.
Kaufman, who w not "a.
presented by counsel. pieaded
guilty to the charge of circulat-
ing the petition, with the ex.
PLANTATION that he had never
heard that the law had already
been held constitutional by q
lower court, and he thought it
within his rights. He denied
having talked to anyone, even
his three sons. who were drafted
against the law. Kaufman said
he had been unable to secure bic
regular lawyer. He was released
on bond furnished by L. c.
Fryer, q neighbor.
]. H. Mccullough. q rural mail
carrier, testified that the defen-
dant had asked him to contribute
to the fund on one occasion. but
he declined. He said that he
had never heard of Kaufman
seeking to obstruct the draft in
any other way.
