| CARTERSVILLE, Ga, Feb. Ia
| Two sons-in-law of the late Sam
Jones. the famous Georgia evangelist.
are now in the limelight and their
troubles will soon be aired in the
| Georgia courts. one them, the
Rev. Walt Holcombe, known through
out the country as a co-worker with
his famous father-in-law. has been in
dicted on a charge OF using obscene
| language before ladies. The other.
b. C. Sloan, has appealed to the state
supreme court in an attempt to Sc
cure possession of his little son, now
in the custody of Mrs. Sam Jones, the
widow of the late evangelist.
The Holcombe case continues to be
subject of interest here and the
town is divided into warning factions,
a portion of the people upholding the
evangelist and others denouncins him
in violent terms.
The charge against Holcombe grew
out of a for men only" sermon. AT
the last tabernacle meeting held here
last September on the last Sabbath
afternoon OF the meeting about 5000
people had gathered to hear Rev
French Oliver, of Chicago, preach a
sermon to men only. This special
service had been announced daily fol-
a week, but on account of thousands
of visitors being in the city in attend
ance at this meeting Sunday. quite q
lfamiliar with the program for this
special service. Consequently ther,
were in the audiance quite a large
number of ladies.
Despite the fact that it was raining
hard Mr.. Holcombe. 1t is claimed, en-
deavored to have the ladies leave the
building, SO the special sermon fol
men could proceed. On account o.
the heavy rain, however, they were
slow to leave the building. when it is
charged that Hr. Holcombe used Ian
guage publicly that should not be useC
in the presence of ladies'.
The AFFAIR created quite a stir a
the time and the indictment is the re
) suit.
