Fish
Daniel v. Mayor of Athens
Opinion of the Court
The use, in the presence of a man, of an obscene word in an ordinary tone, without anger, and under circumstances not calculated to offend the hearer or cause a breach of the peace, does not constitute a violation of a municipal ordinance prohibiting disorderly conduct “calculated to disturb the peace of the citizen.”
Judgment reversed.
