TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 1S.--A sensa-
tionsl libel suit was begun In the Mercer
County Court to day. 1t is church
scandal, and It is the trial OF Morris @.
Werkheiser for the alleged criminal libel
Of Rsy Elijah Lucas, the pastor Of the
First Baptist Church.
Some time ago Werkheiser published q
pamphlet In which he referred TO Mr.
Lucas as an INSCRIPTIONS blackmailer, q
yindictiye, deliberate ialsiler, Q religious
fraud of despicable depraVity, q leper
idiot, wolf In Sleeps clothing, q mon.
bter Of inlquity and hardened and infa-
nous religious impostor.
Rev. Mr.. Lucas is an eloquent preacher
and has for over twenty years been pastor
of the First Baptist Church, which is the
largest In the city. Werkheiser Is au ex-
member Of the Board of Education and
was expelled from the church on charges
Of unchristian actions. The pamphlet
was issued after his expulsion.
When ex-Judge Woodruff, for the de-
PENDANT, opened the defense, he said that
he threw the entire responsibility OF
opening such scandal TO the public
upon the Rev. Mr., Lucas. The defense,
he d, would prove that Mr. Werk-
heiser had no malicious intent, but de-
sired to have the reports agaln inst the
pastor explained, and he only wrote the
pamphlet when he could get justice TO
himself in no other way. They would
prove that In one instance Mr.. Lucas
continued TO visit the wife Of member
of the church IN the absence of the hus-
band, after the husband had forbidden
him, until at last he was elected from
the house; that In another instance he |
took long and frequent walks with a |
certain Young lady, and was seen to de
srend the stairs from her apartments
one night on tip-toe.
The clerk OF the church was the FIST
witness and he produced the minutes OF
the meeting when the defendant was ex-
PEELED. During the afternoon the de
fendant, Morris C. Werkheiser, was on
the stand. He admitted writing the
pamphlet. He gave a detailed account
of his expulsion from the church He
stated that the two ladies who had been
associated with the elerRymen were Mrs.
Grace Gesrhart and Mrs. West, and
while taking walk with Mr.. Lucas he
told the ergymen that he had beard of
his Visits To the house OF George Stoltcs
and ot his coming away by round
about way With Miss Mary Bassett the
lady OF whom some of the scandals were
10 1nt. Miss Basse;t resided at Mr. Lucas
house and was known as seamstresa.
lie did not know where she Is now. lie
lid not know where she was now. He had
'lso told him of the ttory about his rela-
ions with other women.
George Stoltes went on the stand and
estihed that Lucas came to his house TO
fisit Mrs. Stoltes. lie warned him -
ieep away. Lucas said he would come
\ heaever he pleased. Stoltes found him
here one day and bodily elected lin;
hen Lucas wrote a threatening letter, In
which he made serious charges against
Mrs. S'oltes and threatened her and her
alleged companion with expulsion from
The church. The case will be resumed.

He said that the statute under which
this Indictment WAS framed was enacted
by the Legislature 20 prevent the careless

pie to appeal to the Legislature to repeal

pass an act providing a statutory punish
ment for pers )ns who use tirearms in Jest
or otherwise. The counsel for the State
contends that in this case the pistol was
pointed toward the deceased intention
ally, and that therefore the act was felo-
NOUS.
This is ma ter that the jury will have
to decide, and Ii they believe that 1t so,
they must ind him guilty. II, however,
trey have a reasonable doubt in regard 10
the matter, they can acquit him, or II
they believe that he did not point the
pistol, and that the shooting was uuin-
territorial, they eau then find him gully of
