day. Thursday and Friday nights Rev.

derelictions, and the report which will be

provision Of the report was not included
in its adoption. The report was drawn by
Rev. Medbury, OF Angola, formerly chap
lain of the One-hundred-and-fi fifty seventh
Indiana, Rev. Tomlinson, of Goshen, and
Rev. Rose. Of Kendallville. Rev. Laird re-
Gently resigned as pastor OF the church here
al a time when various unsavory rumors
were current. He is about twenty-eight
years old and has wife and infant son.
de began his ministry here nearly three
years ago, coming from Hillsdale, Mich,
where he had gained honors in the college.
The specific charge against ar. Laird was
adultery with Mrs. Beall, nee Minnie Gerke
Of Michigan City, who was the wife OF
Lieutenant Norman Beall, late of the One
-hfty-seventh Indiana, and who
committed suicide by strychnine in June
a day or so after the alleged offense was
committed. An additional point raised
against the minister is that Notwithstanding
the relations that existed he conducted the
funeral services At Ligonier, while a
church convention was in progress, the pair
registered as man and wife, the preacher
using the name OF another minister. who
lives in Kentucky. Laird was met in the
hotel by an acquaintance, another preacher
and after they had chatted the clerk called
the acquaintance attention TO the name
under which Laird and the woman were
living. Naturally, the deception came 10
the knowledge of the Elkhart church mem
bers, together with rumors Of his relations
with other women, and the trial resulted
After the case had been practically proven
Laird. who had maintained his innocence
admitted the truth of the allegations "in
the main" He has declared that he will
not undertake TO rc-enter the ministry. The
cause of Mrs. Beall's suicide was a mys-
terry.
