ters a trial. All but one of the men de-
clined the invitation. much to the as

the morning after the slumber party
did he understand the reason, for he
rose after a sleepless night, during
which his one guest snored so vocifer-
ouSly that his host held his breath mo-
mentarily expecting the other to
strangle to death. There was none of

Church Court Cancelled.

Especial TO The Times Dispatch.l
Roanoke. Va, July 2S.-It developed to-
day that a court which had been APP
pointed by Bishop y. NJ Randolph. OF
the Diocese of Southern Virginia, to
hear charges preferred by an investi-
eating committee against Rev. Charles
steele Davidson, formerly of Trinity
Church, Buchanan. was not organized
because OF ina bility OF certain members
to be present. kilograms canceling
the call for the court to meet in Roam
oke to-day were sent out by the
bishop.
Two members of the committee which
has investigated the Davidson charges
gave out the following statement to-
day:
The Charlottesville correspondent of
the Richmond Times Dispatch, under
date OF July 90, reported an interview
concerning the denouncing of the Epis-
copnl Church on the part OF the Rev.
Charles Steele Davidson. The CORE
spondent quotes Mr.. Davidson as hav-
ine said on July %: renounce and
repudiate the ministry of the Episco
pal Church
Members of the Episcopal Church
and others have expressed consider
able interest in the somewhat remark
able utterances OF Mr.. Davidson. y
peculiar phase of the matter is that for
some time il has been understood in
Buchanan. in Botetourt County. that
a committee OF investigation had been
appointed by the bishop of the Diocese
of Southern Virginia last spring TO in
veStigate certain charges OF a hnan-
cial nature rejecting upon Mr.. David
sons ministry in buchanan. The COM
mittce reported the result of its in
vcstication, and steps were taken by
the ecclesiastical authority TO proceed
with trial. and il was arranged to
hold the sessions of the court in Roam
oke beginning July IS.
Wide Variance in Statement.
1T appears that there is wide vari-
ance in the statement which Mi.
| Davidson has issued as to the grounds
for his voluntary action and the ma
ture OF the charges preferred by the
committee OF investigation. The
charges contained in the prescntment
! were not referred to in Mr.. Davidson's
statement He has for some weeks
been in possession of a copy of these
! charges.
