Gilbert. who came from Buffalo. N. Y. to accept
the position OF organist. Since his arrival In
Memphis he has been anything but an exem-

sent to a Kelley cure by the congregation. but
the gold cure wouldn't work. and for the last
six weeks he has been drinking harder than
ever. So marked was his dissipation that tho
yestry OF the church discharged him. His
fondness for strong drink was not his only
weakness. He has conducted several enter:
tainments for the benefit OF the church and
failed to turn over the money taken in.
The proof against Giloer was SO strong that
he vas arrested a few hours after the fire and
locked up in the station house. Since his ar.
