Treasurer EIby of the oIivet Baptist
Church Laughs at Accusations
i. j. & Against His Honesty.
" Henry Elby, former treasurer of the
OIivet. Baptist church.. was on trial il
Justice BradwelIs court, charged with
embezzling $4,000 of church funds.
The case was not finished.
The little courtroom was crowded
with people when the case was called
for hearing, all eager to catch every
word Of sthe testimony. Elby, with his
face wreathed in smiles. sat facing
his former friends. Occasionally he
would stop putting his black cigar, and
leaning back in his chair would give
utterance to loud gunaw, which
would set the entire crowd into con-
vulsive laughter. Attorney Samuel
Morris defended Elby. i. <....& .-::p.ss 4
+ Deacon George Williams was the
first witness. He testified that Elby
announced in church one Sunday that
a certain party" had made the propo-
sition that if the church would raise
$4,000 he would donate $4,000, in
order that a mortgage could be lifted
from the property. . Il ...=t.

sisters" said Williams, began to work
to raise that $4,000. The way they
worked, sir, was a caution. Each
member tried to Guido his neighbor.
Finally the 5000 was raised and turned
over to Treasurer Elby. We never
asked any bonds from him, because
we did not think a church member
would need to give bonds. "a.
zone day met Elby downtown an1
he was joyful. asked him what made
him ST. happy, and he said he had just
had the first glimpse OF the $l5,OOO.
He later exhibited check OF some
kind with $4,000 written on it. But
the church never could get that $21,--
900 nor any partsof it. He kept put
ting us of, and finally we came to the
conclusion that he never had the SD
900. We asked him for $4,000 back,
and when he couldn't give 1t to us, we
decided to cause his arrest.
The case was continued until Sept
