Baptist DiVines' Serious Charge
Against C. C. Mason.
CONDEMNED BY MINISTER'S
Emma Scott, Whom He Professed to
Have Joined in wedIOck to J..
Quivers, VIII Prosecute Him for
Obtaining Money Under False
Pretenses

There is trouble. and lot of it, in store
for Mr.. c. c. Mason, formerly a member OF
Mount Carmel CoIored Baptist Church
The Rev. W. P Gibbons is to appear be-
fore Assistant District Attorney Null
lowney this morning, with the complainant,
Emma Scott. of Garfield avenue, to have
Mason indicted for obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Emma Scott is bride OF recent date,
and is prosecuting Mason, who performed
the marriage ceremony, for the cause named.
Baptists all over the city are burning with
indignation over Mason's conduct and es-
pecially is this so in ministerial circles, the
pastors having taken decided action on
Mason at the meeting OF the Baptists Min
isterial Union, which met last Monday.
The official declaration OF. tae union is as
follows:
MAsON'S ACTION CONDEMNED.
THAT one c. c. Mason has been per-
forming marriages in the District of CO.
lumhia unla wfuIiy, not being an ordained
minister. and is not even a member or any
church
Therefore the Baptist Minister'S Union
puts its condemnation upon the action of c.
c. Mason"
The action was the result OF full report
presented to the union by Committee OF
investigation appointed by the District con-
ference and consisting Of Rev w. + Glib
bons, of Mt. Carmel, chairman, Rev
Shelton Miller, OF ST. Luke's Baptist Church,
ami the Rev. w. j. Howard, of Zion Church.
The Rev. Mr.. Gibbons said last u$sht that
Mason had been excluded from Mt Carmel
Church.; he is not member aud has never
been even a licentiate. He has applied
three times for recognition but the councils
hsft t1gpf "A stg -
The test case will be made, said the
pastor, not from any personal feeling or
prejudi Ce, but for the protection aud
honor of the ministry.
MARRIED EIGHT COUPLES
Investigations made by the committee
show that Mason has performed at least
eight marriages. One of the serious aspects
of the case is that iu the opinion OF the
ministers the condition of these people
leaves them open to prosecution under the
Edmunds law
Emma Scott brings the Indictment in her
maiden name. the man to whom her Certi-
ficate OF marriage from Mason shows her
to be welded being Quivers.
The etminiSteTs have looked Into the law
and find that Mason is neither a Judge,
magistrate, nor ordained minister nor any
person fully authorized to solemn
ize marriages.
Mr.. Mason has some followers and has evil
IDENTITY made an impression on those who
sustain him. Several OF the marriages
solemnized by him are of record in TIE Dis
trict building.
The ministers are very much in earnest
in this matter as is the bride.
One of the ministers said it was very un-
fortunate to have this matter made pub
lie on account of the innocent people who
have been duped, but that they had remedy
and would apply il in due time.
