Bosros. April 24.-The principal figure in
| the case which Is to occupy the attention OF
| the Superior Court for the next few days will
| be the Rev. W. W. Downs. This is his Inst eff
fort to clear his reputation OF the stain which
| has rested upon 1t since August. 1885. Par
son Downs was discovered In a room with
| Mrs. Fred ]. Tabor. the wife OF one OF his
| church members. under circumstances which.
| Il was allep ed, we're so strongly suggestive Of
crime. that Mr.. Taber secured divorce. and
Mr.. Downs was expelled from the Bowdon
Square Baptist Church. over which he had
presided for several years.
Mr.. Downs stoutly maintained his innocence,
but the evidence OF the injured husband and
the detectives who broke into Mrs. Taber's
room outweighed all the denials which Mr.
Downs and Mrs Taber could utter. Tho
church not only expelled their pastor. but they
also refused to pay him the salary which he
claimed was due when he left the church. A
new and Independent church was organized
in honor OF the pastor. but 1t was known mere
ly as Downss church" Downs put on q bold
front and refused to be snubbed. He has re-
