PARENTS CANNOT ATTEND
Not Permitted to Be Present at the
Williams Trial.
air. Denham Says That the Court is
Cruel TO His Daughter-HiS
Startling Charges.

The trial of Rev. Gilbert F. Will
( liams on charges of immortality was
J continued yesterday.
J Miss Nettie Denham. the complain
ant, was again placed on the witness
stand. She charged Mr.. Williams with
being the father of her child. She re-
cited the story of the manner in which
she was influenced. She held TO her
statement that Rev Mr. Williams
wronged her In his study at the church,
during Holy Week, directly after re-
igious service. Cross ss-examination
failed 10 impair this testimony.
Mr. Williams was present with his
wife, who was accompanied by Mrs
Schenk, a friend of the family
Mt and Mrs. Denham, parents OF the
girl, were not allowed in the court
room. This has caused considera BILE
dissatisfaction among the friends of
the plaintiff, who charge that the court
( Is attempting TO acquit the accused.
They make the point that the accused
is an Episcopal clergyman, and that as
the court and it's officials are clergy
men of the same faith, they wiII-un-
consciously it may be-giye the cause
partial trial They maintain that
they will establish the guilt of the ac-
cused by strict rules of evidence.
Mr.. Denham is much troubled from
the fact that the court will admit none
of the friends of his daughter to the
trial. To a Times reporter he said last
night:
1T is downright cruelty. They had
my daughter on the witness stand for
three hours on Friday, during the
whole session today and will probably
keep her there several hours on Mon
day. If the case were being tried in
court of law some of the friends of the
girl would be allowed near her. They
are trying to break her down. One of
the members of the court has told me
that all the efforts of the attorneys for
the defense have failed to shake her
testimony.
Everybody in the court is either an
entire stranger TO my daughter or is
an enemy to her A great deal of the
time today was taken up in reading
lot of letters which had passed between
Miss Denham and Mrs. Williams, wife
of the accused. These letters were all
gone over by the committee which
first investigated the charges and were
found to contain nothing pertinent to
this case They are just trying to ex-
haust the girl physically and then
break down her testimony in this way
if they can. 1 have asked to be per-
mitted to be near her during the trial,
but they will not listen to my plea. Ii
looks to me as if the court were trying
to whitewash Williams"
1t is alleged by the prosecution that
Mr. Williams last night sent for Sex
ton Simmonds. of Christ Church and
tried to induce him to swear against the
character of the plaintiff. 1t is said
that Simmonds refused to do this. 1t
is probable though that the sexton will
go on the stand
