TILSON FIGHTS BACK
AT JUDGESHIP FOES
Replies to Georgia Senators, Citing
Precedents on Question Of
Residence in District.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MACON, Ca, March 12.-W. j. Til
son, recently given another recess ap-
pointment by President Coolidge to be
Federal Judge for the middle district
of Georgia, today issued a statement
in reply to charges brought against
him by Senators w. ]. Harris and w.
+. George of Georgia. In opposing his
appointment.
''The Georgia Senator's" said Judge
TiIson, Announced in the beginning
that their opposition to my confirma-
tion was based on the sole grounds
that / was not a resident of the dis
trict at the time of my appointment.
Cites Similar Cases.
1.-TWO of the four United States
Judges who presided over the courts
OF the southern district of Georgia
since it's creation were appointed from
the northern district of Georgia. In
the present case the new district was
created out Of the old southern and
northern districts and the arbitrary
lines bounding the new district, in
some cases, at least, were fixed, it has
been said, for political reasons.
although I was born in Tennessee,
/ was admitted to the bar and began
the practice of law 80 years ago in
Forsyth, Monroe County, Ga. which
is within few miles of the center of
population of the district. I have for
20 years lived I'm De Kalb County, in
the northern district of Georgia. but
within very few miles of the arbi-
trary line bounding the new district.
Cases i'm Both Parties.
There have been numbers of in
80 fr4fV hNy G
of both parties of United States dis.
trict judges who lived outside of the
limit of the districts to which they
were appointed, and more than one of
the appointments of the kind were
made by President Wilson. For these
and other reasons am led to believe
that there was no wrong or even any
improperly in my appointment to this
position"
