BISHOP SATTERLEE
SUSTAINED BY COURT
Appeal of the Rev. Gilbert F Williams
Against Deposition From Episcopal
Priesthood Denied.

The action OF the TT. Rev. Henry Y.
SatterIee. bishop Of the diocese Of Wash
ington. and head Of the ecclesiastical
court which deposed the Rev. G. F. VIII
Hams from the priesthood Of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church was sustained
by the Court OF Appeals for the District
in a decision announced by Chief Justice
Alvey yesterday.
Nj. Williams was formerly rector IF
Christ Church parish in Southeast Wash
ington. II 1897 he was accused of in
moral conduct with one Of his women
Pensioners. The charges against the
priest were reported TO Bishop Satter-
lee. and le assembled an ecclesiastical
court 70 Investigate the charges. After
q long trial. which was held in St.
Marks PTo-Cathedral. the Rev. Dr.. VIII
liams was found guilty.
Four years afterward Mr.. Williams
appealed 10 the Supreme Court Of the
District of relief He asked that g writ
of certiorari be issued against Bishop
Satterlee and the other members Of the
ecclesiastical court to compel them to
certify the records OF his trial to the
temporal court 10 be reviewed. When
the matter came On for hearing the court
issued an order commanding the writ TO
be issued. From this judgment an ap
peal was taken 10 the Court OF Appeals
for the District The most important
point involved in the appeal was the
power OF the civil courts 10 review the
findings OF ecclesiastical courts.
