Rev. F. Ernest Matthews. assistant rector OF st.
James's Protestant Episcopal Church. at MADISON
ave. and Seventy-first-st. The latter charged his
brother with continually annoying him. by calling
AT his house almost every day. ringing the door,
bell, and by insulting him every time he got the
chance either In the house or in the street
1t appears from the stories told In court by both
men that when the clergyman was In college he
borrowed 800 from his brother. Percy OF this sum
Percy says he was repaid 500 but the balance has
not been forthcoming. He says his so-called per.
secuton OF the minister Is nothing more or less
than persistent effort to collect the money due
him.
After getting the $500 he went West and on his
return he demanded the balance. He says his
brother told him he had supported their mother
while he was away. and that ought to balance the
account
Two weeks ago the minister says he gave Percy
s25 and had him sign an agreement that on the
payment Of an additional SIS next January he
would cancel the debt and in the mean time not
mediatey violated the agreement and resumed MS
unwelcome visits.
When Percy was taken before Magistrate Cor.
neil the clergyman requested private hearing:
that he made II rule 10 have al business ~ nis
courtroom done openly and he did not think no
could make any exception In this case. After
hearing both stories, the Magistrate held the
months and stop bothering his brother, and as ne
had no money or friends present he was locked up.
