CAUTIONED.
Rev. Robert A. ElWood Counseled
To Be More JudlCious In
His differences.
FOUND GUILTY ON THREE COUNTS

After session, lasting until
midnight, the Presbytery of New
Castle on Tuesday, by majority
vote, declared Rev. Robert A. Ell
wood, pastor of the Olivet Presby-
terian Church, Wilmington, guilty
of the first, fourth and Sixth counts
of the indictment growing out of
the preaching of a sensational SER
mon on the day before the lynching
of the negro, George White, for the
assault on and murder of Miss
Helen Bishop.
These counts alleged that Ewood
violated the constitution of the
Presbyterian Church and the con-
fession of faith by not preaching
sound doctrines, charging response
bility in case of lynching upon the
courts, thus throwing criticism
upon the courts, and advocating
the lynching of White under GER
tain conditions.
He was declared not guilty on
the other three counts of the
indictment.
The Presbytery then appointed a
committee composed of Rev.. L.
McElmoyle, Rev. T. L. MoCurdy
and Rev. D. E. Shaw, all opponents
of Elwood, to make the report on
the matter of appropriate punish
ment, and adjourned to allow the
committee to prepare the report.
In addition to the Committee on
Punishment, Elders A. l.. Duyck-
inck and j. B. Hodson were added.
The vote convicting Elwood on the
three counts on which he was found
guilty was % to 20; % to 10 and
a to 15. On one other count the
vote was tie and Moderator North
cast the deciding vote in favor of
Elwood.
Just a few minutes before mid
night the committee returned and
reported that its punishment" is
that "Rev. Mr.. Elwood be caution
ed to be more careful in the future. :"
The exact text of the Judgment
of Presbytery was as follows:-
"Affectionately counseled to be
more judicious in your utterances
in the future"
