THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
NDT TRYWATSON
IT THIS TERM
This is Practically Certain.
Probable That Case Will Not
Be Called Before Next Fall.
The news of the indictment against
Mr. Thomas E. Watson, charged with
sending obscene matter through the
mails, was given in the Herald Friday
afternoon. The Indictment was not
returned in open court until 3:40 p. m.
As the Herald was going to press Hon
S. G. McLendon, of counsel for Mr.
Watson, was asking the court that the
rase be tried as early as possible and
he stated that the defendant was
ready.
District Attorney Akerman pleaded
an engagement before Judge Grubb in
Savannah next Monday and for sev
eral consecutive weeks the district at
torney said he would be busy else
where.
Judge Sheppard announced that It
would he practically impossible to try
the case at this term of court unless he
called a special session of court or
had on adjourned term of the court af
ter he had finished with the work in
his own district in Florida.
It is believed, therefore, that the
Watson case will not be called before
the fall term of the U. S. court in Au
gusta.
The indictment against Mr. Watson
is similar to the one which was drawn
before and which Judge Foster, sitting
at Augusta last year, quashed In the
federal court. Immediately after that
Indictment was quashed by Judge
Foster the case was again presented
to the grand Jury and the district at
torney failed of procuring an Indict
ment by one vote. The case was pre
sented to the grand jury at this term
for the third time.
The indictment charges that In the
issues of Mr. Watson's paper In 1911
and 1912 In a series of articles entitled
“Tho Roman Catholic Hierarchy, the
Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties and
Our Civilization,” he printed obscene
matter contrary to the statutes of the
United States.
Besides the Indictment against
Thomas E. Watson, the grand jury
handsil down eight others, John M.
Mays, breaking open a letter and tak
ing the contents; Ed Peaks, alias
“Spartanburg,” car-breaking; Nathan
Richardson, car-breaking; Arthur
Johnson, Impersonating a United
States officer; Charlie Orlffln, car
breaking; Jim Sutton, illicit distillery;
Roy Sutton, Illicit distillery; Harry
Veal, illicit distillery; James D. Owens,
Illicit distillery.

newed their assurances of protection for
American lives and property at Tampico.

no further disorder whs expected.
Plenty of Powder. v
The constitutionalists already have
moved to avail themselves of the ad
vantages of their first important sea
port. One of Carranza’s confidential
agents was quoted ns saying that a
largo shipment of French guns was
ready to he moved toward Tampico.
That, considered with the development
that there now Is no embargo against

With “Full Power.”
During their journey through the
Southern states from Key West the
Huerta delegates have received several
delegations of newspapermen but their
Ups have been sealed beyond saying they
had “full power to act.' It was indicated
however that they might later make a
more comprehensive f*tatement.

department, who met the Mexican dele

that the mission expected to arrive in

BURNS, LEHDN
Will Probably Be Cleared of
Contempt Charges By Answer
Filed With Court.
Atlanta, Ga. —The hearing of the
elmrge of ronteropt of court ugainst
■William J. Burns and Dan S. I.ehon, h s
lieutenant In the Frank Investigation,
which was set for Friday was postponed
until next week, with no definite date
fixed.
Lehon and Burns, through their at
torneys, Little, Powell, Hooper & Gold
stein, have Pled an answer to the con
tempt charge, which attorneys general
ly believe fully purges them of any con
tempt, even If there was a prlma facie
case against them, As a result, It is
expected the hearing will be extremely
short and the charge In all probability
dismissed.
The answer of Bums and Lehon de
velops the Interesting fact that they
were advised by Attorneys Luther Z.
Rosser and Reuben R. Arndld that there
was not the slightest impropriety or Il
legality In their conduct in sending the
witness. Annie Maud Carter, out of the
city, but that it was the appropriate
and proper thing to do under the cir
cumstances.
Was Aiding the Court.
The answer says: “Deponent believes
that in so doing (sending the witness
out of town) he was serving the cause
of right and Justice, and was aiding the
court In the ascertainment of truth, and
was In no wise intending any contempt
of court or of its processes, hut was en
deavoring to assist the court In having
Its witnesses brought into court free
from any Improper influence being ex
erted upon them.”
The answer set out that nothing be
yond the expenses of the woman was
pMd her, and that It is well under the
ethics of the slluat'on that where a wit
ness Ii being detained for the use of a
party that it is proper that the party
should pav the expenses actually In
curred. and that If the defendant had
not voluntarily paid the expenses that
he would have been legally liable for
them.
In Good Faith.
The defendant was acting In good
faith and honestly endeavoring to assist
rather than obstruct the court, the an
swer says.
I.ehon sets out that when the first s-w
Annie Maud Carter she was In the office
of Attorneys Herbert and Leonard Haas
and that she had Just made the affida
vit In the Frank case, and was express
ion fear that when the fact became
known that she was a witness for Frank
that she would be subjected to violence,
<fr coercion or Imprisonment by the city
detectives, and they (Burns and Lehon)
had to guarantee tlx* she would be
protected before she signed the affi
davit.
Woman Was Scared.
The woman was badly frightened, the
answer sets out, and it was feared that
if not kept under surveillance she would
run away and not he present at the
court If she was needed at any time to
give oral testimony. With that in view
two Borns operatives were ordered to
guard her night and day.
The answer then sets out that because
of the surveilsnce and protection, Le
hon was enabled to get the woman back
to the city and turn her over to the
Bher’ff of the county, when the court or
„red her brought hack to Its juris
diction.
She was a witness for the defense, the
paper sets out. and it was considered
necessary to keep her whereabouts
known to the defendant and his counsel,
and to keep her where she was free
from being tampered with by adverse
interests.
],ehon Is still in the elty, ready to at
tend any hearing, but Burns, who Is In
New York, will probably not return un
less his personal appearance in court is
desired by Judge Hill.

was rendered by Miss Ella Corrigan,
soprano; Miss Elsa Straud, contra
alto; Mr. Slauson Denton, tenor, and
Mr. Stanley Deacon, baritone, of the
Denton grand opera company. This
was one of the big features of the
evening’s entertainment, and, to say
the least of it, will be long remembered
by lovers of music who heard it.
After some extra pieces played by
the band, the next selection on the
program rendered was a polka Fan
tastique, a trombone solo by Mr. J.
Clmera, the assistant director of tho
band. Mr. Clmera is so near perfect
on his instrument that the difference
Is not observed.
"The Village Blacksmith.”
The first part of the evening's pro
gram was concluded by “The Village
Blacksmith,” a sectacular fantasie, by
Michaelis. In this piece all the lights
under the tent were switched off and
the effect from the electric anvils was
delightful. The four musicians swing
ing the hammers at the anvils were in
costume. The piece was thoroughly
descriptive of the title.
In the second part of the program
Kryl himself, who bears the reputa
tion of being one of the world’s most
famous cornetists, gave a solo, a fan
tasia on German song, written by
himself. By some of the leading mus
ical critics in this country he has been
termed as a complete master of his
difficult instrument, and last night he
certainly convinced Augustans of this
fact.
The Soldier’s Drearr\
The last piece played was consider
ed by many as the most beautiful of
the evening. A synopsis of the piece,
“The Soldier’s Dream,” arranged by
Bohimur Kryl, follows:
Tattoo. Taps (light out). Slumber.
Daybreak, clock strikes four, corporal

goodbyes. Train disappearing in the
distance. At the scene of oncoming

more.

kiddies will be there by the hundred
with their parents or adult friends and
the evening is expected to prove a suc
cessful entertainment. A concert will
also be given.
A sacred program will be rendered
tomorrow afternoon and night by the
Chautauqua. A sermon-lecture will
be given by Montavllle Flowers on the
Japanese problem in America, a sub
ject which has been much discussed
during the past year but on which few
people are fully informed. Mr. Flow
ers’ home is in California, the state
in which nearly all of the Japanese in
this country live, and he knows whereof
of he speaks. His previous residence
in the East and his extensive travel on
lecture tours has also given him the
viewpoint of the Easterner on this
topic. Mr. Flowers is an orator, in
fact, is one of the finest speakers on
the American platform. For two years
he was president of the International
Lyceum Association, of which nearly
all Chautaqua and Ljfceum lecturers
in this country are members. The
title of his lecture is “Color Line and
Picket Guard.”
