Mrs, Bell Says Her Ministerial Husband
Plead For Forgiveness
OLDBURY, England, April 29.-The
case of Rev. Jonathan Bell, the Metho.
dist minister who was implicated in the
events that led to the recent death at
Detroit, of Emma Hall, an English girl,

TO attract much attention in the circles
where Bell was known. Your CORE.
spondent had a long interview with
Mrs. Bell, the wife of the missing
clergyman. She is in terrible state of
mental distress, but finally told the
whole story. She said: my husband
had been acting in strange manner
for weeks. l thought he had some.
thing on his mind that was worrying
him, and l questioned him. He first
told me of Emma's death ON Monday.
That night he confessed all to me and
pleaded forgiveness on his knees.
II forgave and encouraged him. He
seemed to be paralyzed with the fear
that he would be arrested. He said:
i must go and hide. / agreed to this
and he said: You must not tell where
sgo. God will provide for you l
don't know what money he had. He
had $40 the week before, but do not
know whether 1t was his or the church S
money. l have not the slightest idea
where he has gone. Neighbors tell me
that the girl had none too good repu.
tation. They thought my husband was
too fond Of her. ! did not know why
he went to Detroit. He told me he
wanted to visit America in order to lee.
ture about the great country where
there was so much wickedness. He
was ever kind to me and the children. 4"
The church officials say that Bells
accounts are all right. Many persons
speak highly of Miss Hall They say
they never noticed anything wrong
about her, and merely thought her
active in church work.
