U A. WELSH. Local Korecaster,
Tom Watson is on
Trial for Alleged
Misuse of Mails
AUGUSTA. Ga., Oct 10.-Thomas K,
Watson, lawyer, publicist and one time
presidential candidate of the People's
party, today was placed on trial In the
United States district court here on a
charge of sending obscene matter
through the malls. The specific charge
against Watson Is that he published In
July, 1911, and April and May of 1912.
certain alleged questions which, he
claimed were asked by Roman Catholic
priests to persons In confessional, which
questions the Indictment alleges were ob
scene. These questions appeared In a series of
articles attacking the Itoman Catholic
church and especially the priesthood. It
is the plan of the defense to conduct
Its fight on the ground that the .articles
published In Watson's magastne were
written by Watson as editor, and that
his conviction on the charges as set out
In the Indictment would be In violation
of the privileges for freedom of the press,
as guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States.
United States Attorney Ackeririan says
no church officials had been summoned
to testify for the state and it was said
no witnesses will be introduced by the
defense.- f
After hearing 4 long argument by Wat
Son's attorneys on motion to quash the
Indictment, the court reserved decision
and adjourned until tomorrow.

tesolutlon approving- In the main the cur
rency act now before congress, but sug
gesting revesat amendments. One was

Another -suggested that membership In
the federal reserve banks be "made of

notes be retired as promptly as possible
by the purchase by the government nt
par of .outstanding 2 per cent bonds or
by some equitable arrangement by which
the federal reserve banks would take over
the bonds from the national banks.
The. fourth amendment proposed that
no moro than flv members of the fed
eral rescive board should be appointed
by the president; the fifth that the fed
eral reserve notes be Issued by the fed
eral reserve banks without' guarantee by
the government. s

I now Intend to go back to the lepers.
Iam an outcast from society. A num

and reported that I am free from leprosy,
but my friends refuse to believe. If I go
to any gathering the crowl netr me

alone.
"I have taken an Inventory ot my life
and I can see no ray' ot hope, I sent
letters today to a number of lfer con
