MEN OF SLAVONIC PARISH
THREATEN CHURCH ORGANISE
Wife of Music Director Says She
Slapped Priests Face-The Rever-
end Father Duchon Denies Story.

The engagement OF Julius Won Uhurkowicz
as organist of Holy Trinity Church. Ro-
man Catholic (Slavonic) Church in South st.
Louis, is likely to prove bone of conten-
ton in that parish. the results OF which it
is difficult to foretell. Charges OF immoral
conduct against the organist have been
numerous In the parish for some time.
They eliminated Monday last. when
Charles Hollos. a member of the parish pre-
ferred charges against Uhurkowicz at the
Second Precinct Police Station for assault
ing his wife.
HOLDS had previously reported the facts
in the case to the parish priest, the Rev
erend Father Duchon. who had advised him
to proceed cautiously In the matter. Father
Duchon was astounded shortly afterwards
when another member OF the congregation
came to him and reported that his wife also
had serious complaints to make against the
organist for immoral acts attempted in the
school building adjoining the church;
So much incensed had the members OF
the congregation become at this time that
threats against the organists life were rife
in the community. Father Duchon then
that 1t would be better for him to leave
town.
Churkowicz's wife pushed the priest away
from the DOOR She says she sappfd him II

closed tile door In his face.
