CASE APPALLED,.
NJ. p. Ministers In Fayette Comfy Pa,
not vet out of Trouble.

We learn from a private source,
that the case of the Commonwealth
against Rev Shepherd and others,
has been appealed from the Fayette
county court to the Superior court
of the State, 1t will likely be re
membered by our readers that Rev.
Shepherd and number of his broth
er ministers of the NJ 2. church,
were arrested and arraigned before
the Fayette county court, on
charge of conspiracy, Rev. A. w.
Robertson as plaintiff. The grand
jury reported ''true BILL but when
the case came up for trial, the in
dietment was quashed on the tech
inal ground that the defendant
preachers had not been given a pre-
liminary hearing before a Justice OF
the Peace. To common, everyday
man, the fact that the defendants
gave bail for their appearance at court
without submitting themselves to
preliminary hearing before a justice,
would seem TO indicate that they
considered the. charge of sufficient
Importance at least to warrant jnstiee
in recommending them to the courts.
The further fact that they were so
quick to take advantage of legal
technicality to have the Indictment
quashed instead of standing trial, is
not, by any means, evidence of their
"a - Mt mo
is charged of a crime or misdemean,
or, he usually compels the fullest
and most complete hearing possible
for the purpose of indication. 1t
is not only his privilege, but his
duty, to demand it. So these Rev
erend gentlemen may yet have to
stand trial in Fayette county for
trying to debase the character Of
brother minister, and from what we
have heard, theve may be some inter
esting Developments.
