Rev. Leonard Koehler has brought snit
for $4,000 damages against number of
his former parishioners of St Stephens
Lutheran church, Chicago. For causes of
this action he says he was assaulted by the
defendants. dragged from his pulpit.
kicked upon divers parts Of his person,
beaten with fists, scratched with finger
nails, and finally and forcibly elected from
his church without proper provocxtion.
At this point no explanation is offered as
to what would constitute proper provoca-
ton" Tor such conduct by members of a
Christian congregation toward their min
lister, but the defendants i'm their answer
measurably I'LL the hiatus by stating that
the plaintiff, during his ministry, got the
big-head. wanted to run the church accord
ing to his own sweet will. which was vari-
able. and that he courted. captivated and
was about to marry young lady OF the
congregation after having made similar
overtures to another. As this Is the gist OF
their defense it would appear that these
members OF the st. Stephens Lutheran
church. Chicago, regard the big-head and
promiscuous attentions TO young females
of the congregation as sufficient justifica.
ton for kicking, pnmmeling. scratching
and ejecting q pastor. II is we'll enough to
know just where the line between safety
and danger is drawn.
