Watson Case Again
Is Continued

The case Of Leslie Watson, To-

have been tried last night before
Assistant Trial Justice L. P. Louis
was continued until next week at
the request of j. Henry Leroy.
Walson's attorney, who could not
be present last night because Of
other business. Watson is charged
with reckless driving, speeding
and driving under the influence
of liquor.
1t is reported that Attorney Le-
Roy will question Assistant Trial
Justice Louis right to try the
case. Mr.. Louis agreed to try the
case after Trial Justice w. c.
Morse, Jr., had excused or dis
qualified himself on the grounds
that he was a witness. Louis ad-
mitted that he was in the police
station when Watson was brought
in and that he stated a that time
that the Negro was drunk, but he
argued that this would not pre-
vent him from giving the defend
ant a fair trial and to render a
decision according to the evidence
presented.
