ry Fitzgerald, a socialist, who violent
ly interrupted the preacher, was al
lowed his freedom by Police Magis-

in the Pastor Russell meeting to a re-
mark made by the lecturer that So
cialists were really anarchists, Fitz-

refusing to be Gained, was arrested

day he was charged with interrupt

The court agreed that Pastor Russell
was merely expressing an opinion re-
garding the hereafter, which was not
necessarily religion.
