Keeping "A Watch.
After Mrs. Reilly had cast Harms off
absolutely, Harms and another man
kept watch of Mrs. Reilly's visits to
the church, and some time thereafter
went to DR.. Tiff at his house late in
the night and stated to him the sub
stance of their accusations against DR..
Mabry, and Dr. Tiff, after hearing the
story, said if they would come again
the next thing he would have two men
go with them to watch DR.. Mabry and
Mrs Reilly.
He selected Rev. Gillian and Mr. c.
NJ. Woods, the Sunday school superin-
tendent of the Tiff church. The under
standing between Mr.. Harms and his
companion with DR.. Tiff was that they
should be very careful not to let Mr..
Reilly know what was being done, and
it was further understood that they
should only go far enough to secure
evidence that would compel DR.. Mabry
to resign his paStorate and that no
arrests or publicity was to follow.

out the chief Of police, asked him if he

far enough to make a case against DR..
Mabry and then have it suppressed.

in filthy privy at the rear of the
church and Rev. Gillian secreted him.

across the street. Finally, desiring to
secure better proof than the circum-

plant was sworn out by Rev. Gillian
and the warrant put into the hands of
the policemen, so that they would be
authorized to break into the room and
thus attempt to get further evidence.
