ing away from Harrington. lie had a
satchel with him. lie went toward Dom

Tho case of Pastor Carpenter IS one
OF the most singular on recod in Dela-

which "a forvent love missive got IN AN
envelope that made IT'S way TO Recorder

In an interview this morning the
pastor made an explanation, declaring
that during the thirty years of his
married life God had intended a young
woman 20 be his "afipity."
Whom God has united, let no man
put asunder" he said.
Mr. Carpenter has been for five years
pastor of the Apostolic Holiness Union

leadership. had increased frNn a mere
handful of worshlppers TO one now
large I'm numbers and including some
of the most prominent families In Har-

Late last night he was visited by the
trustees of the church who, few hours
before had received his resignation.
1t was last Saturday that the event
occurred. on that day he oficiated at

the town, to Ernest Edwards, a young
farmer living few miles distant. Ac-
cording to his own statements, he went
on Monday morning TO the postofiice 20

.SUPREMECOURT.
Hears Important Grim
inal Case From Col-
umbiana County.
Big QUESTION INVOLVED

Special to Morning News.
Columbus, o., May 29.-The su'
preme court today heard a criminal
case from Columbiana couaty invoiv'
ing the important question OF tho
rights OF an excepted person under
the constitution. II was the case OF
Clarence Tate and Thomas Taylor vs
the state. Tate and Taylor were
accused OF setting fire to a straw stacb
with the intention OF burning a barn.
that stood close by.
The constitution provides that per-
sons on trial for felonies. cannot be
required to testify. They may volun-
tarily do so. however. The Ohio
statute goes further, and provides
that the attention OF the Jury mus
not be called TO the fact when such
an accused person chooses not TO taxi
the stand In his own defense. The
jurymen cannot help noticing the fact
but the state must not remind them
OF II. II appears that in the trial o.
this case the attention Vt the jur1
was, called TO the fact that Tate an, I,
Taylor did not embrace the oppor-
tunity TO take NE stand and tell their
side OF the story. They we're con-
victed and Tate sentenced TO three
years In the state prison and Taylor
one year. They are trying TO escape
now by showing error in the trial
The decision will be watched with Id
terest all over the state.
