Watson, the Georgia editor and one-time populist candidate for president, was ar- I raigned In federal court here today on an Indictment charging sending obscene matter through the malls. Watson, act ing aa his own attorney. Immediately en tered a demurrer to the Indictment and moved to quash It on grounds that It was Illegally drawn. Watson's demurrer was overruled by Judge Iimbdln and aelec- tlon or a Jury was started. Watson's Indictment contains four counts, giving dates In 1911 and 191. when the alleged obscene matter was sent through the malls In Issues of Wat son's publications printed at Thomas, Oa., ! his home. Watson was Indicted on simi lar charged In 1912 and In the fall of 1913 the Indictment was quashed on grounds that It should have contained the entire article alleged to be objectionable and not merely excerpts from It. At the next ses sion of the federal grand Jury Watson was reindicted, the chsrges being made In what waa regarded as more specific form, but not containing the language ob jected to. the Indictment stating that It waa "Improper to be spread upon the minutes of the court. Four counts of the present Indictment alleged that objectionable matter was used In sn article entitled "The Roman Catholic Hierarchy; the Deadliest Menace to Our Civilisation," and in an article entitled "Another Maria Monk Case Comes to Light In New Jersey a Few Days Ago." When he previously faced the court Watson contended the words al leged to be obscene were merely quoted from books on Roman Catholic religion. Only Oae "Brento Qalnlae."
