Reverend Seducer.-The trial Of the Rev.
William Waller, of the Reformed Baptist Church,
for seduction in the Carroll circuit court, Ken
tucky resulted in his conviction, and the jury
awarded $4,000 damages. The reverend seducer
after accomplishing his purpose, under a promise
of marriage, fled TO South Carolina. where he mar
ried a very respectable lady with considerable
property; and will, we suppose, be able TO pay
himself out of the difficulty.
1t appears in the testimony in the case that Wal
ler after promising marriage, quoted or misquoted
various texts of Scripture to quiet the scrupes OF
the girl and to lead her 10 the belief that the con-
tract was as binding as if lawfully married. II was
not until her situation threatened exposure that
he fled.
Governor Morehcad appeared for the prosecu-
ton and the courthouse was thronged that
many ofthe crowd could not even reach the outer
doors OF the house. His closing speech was power
full and its effect upon the reverend sinner is said tc
have been overwhelming.
