IN CHURCH
Rev. o. A. Johnson Shot Down
in the Pulpit.

Rev. o. A. Johnson, colored pastor
of Wesley Chapel, was shot in his pull
pit Sunday evening and seriously
wounded by colored girl of about
10 or 20 years of age, named Hattie
Nelson.
The shooting occurred at the open
ing of the evening service during the
singing of hymn. The girl walked
into the church building and to the
front of the place. She had a shawl
or some sort of wrap thrown over
her shoulders and under. the folds of
this was concealed 80 revolver. She
walked we'll forward toward the pull
pit where the colored minister was
standing and then pulled out the gun
and fired. Rev. Johnson saw the in
tent of the girl and lodged down be-
hind the pulpit, but not i'll time to es-
cape the ball. The bullet entered the
left arm in the upper muscles and
passed back and upwards and was
cut out of the back of the shoulder.
Doctors Jerrel and True were called
aud dressed the wound and the man
is doing as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances. Had he
not lodged as he did the ball would
most certalnlyhave done deadly work.
Immediately following the shot the
girl left the church. She turned
around to see the effect of her shot
and started to fire a second time but
the door of the church was closed in
her face and she made her way from
the place unmolested, no attempt be-
ing made to follow her. The minister
was removed to apartments near the
church where the wound was dressed.
The girl is the daughter of Mrs.
Racnel Nelson, widow residing a
couple of miles northeastern the city.
She has been ia the city for ainumber
of months working here and there as
domestic, taking up this work upon
leaving school.
Gossip and talk has been current
concerning the girl for some little
time. 1t was occasioned by her con-
dition. Several weeks ago she was
delivered of child and there was
talk as to the paternity Of the babe.
Rev. Johnson was concerned in the
stories told at the time and the mat
ter came up inIcburch and a special
committee OF the members OF the

ner. She had come to him repeated
ly with her school work lessons and
the like and he had assisted her prior
to examin atoms. He had been at the
house with her in that work but he
had at no time been other places with
the girl. He had seen her frequently
and had pleaded with her concerning
her conduct in keeping company with
a certain married man, according to
report, She had on these occasions
denied the reports. Rev. johnson
did not know that the girl harbored
any ill will against him and had no
fear of violence at her hands. He
will prosecute the girl for her act Of
Sunday evening.
An information charging assault.
with intent to commit murder wal
filed with Squire Rice about 10 80 o.
clock and the warrant for the arrest

matter dropped on the part of the

church body went to visit the girl
with the expressed purpose of learn
ing of the truth of the stories in cir
culation. The girl at that time ex-
onerated Mr.. Johnson, saying that
another person was the father of
her child. 1t is claimed that since
the birth of the baby, however, she
has accused the minister of being
the father and the affair of Sunday
evening is the outcome of the charg-
es made.
Rev. JOhnson's Story.
Rev. Johnson was seen by HER
AID reporter and he tells substanti-
ally the same story of the shooting
as the above. He said that Sunday
was rally day in the church and
that ninety two dollars had been
raised during the day for the pay
ment of the church improvements
An effort was to be made at the
evening service to raise some more
of the money and there was a large
attendance. A song service had
been in progress before the sermon
should begin and the congregation
was standing singing. The Nelson
girl came in at the door and came
forward. Mr.. Johnson had known
of the girls trouble and when she
came forward he thought that she
was DESTROYS of setting herself right
again before the church and seeking
divine forgiveness. Then as she
continued up the aisle with her hands
concealed beneath her jacket the
thought of Czolgocz entered his mind
and he kept his eye on the girl. He
expected her to turn at the side when
she reached the head of the aisle
near where the choir is placed but
she came forward still and as she re-
moved her hands from beneath her
jacket he caught the CLEAN of a
pistol barrel. 1t was aimed full at
his breast and he lodged quickly
and thus probably saved his life. He
fastened toward the girl but she
turned to shoot again. Clarence
Henry sprang between. ALI was
confusion and the girl lefE the church.
Mr.. Johnson states that he has been
fully exonerated of all completely in
the affair and that the girl has before
bar FOIka atatad that ha yyaa ,uil.lass
He states also that there is in exist
auce letters showing himself to be in
nocent OF the charges aud laying the
guilt upon the shoulders of another
man.
The pastor states that the girl had
