Famous Obscenity trial dring the mid 1920s.
From http://homepages.pavilion.co.uk/users/tartarus/cabell.html
In 1919 he (Cabell) published Jurgen. This was called "vicious and indecent" by a group of tumblebugs calling themselves a society for the prevention of vice. H.L. Mencken wrote: "The Cabell case belongs to comedy in the grand manner. For fifteen years...the man wrote - good stuff, sound stuff, extremely original stuff, often superbly fine stuff. Then...the imbeciles who operate the Comstock Society (of the U.S.) raided and suppressed his Jurgen and at once he was a made man."
