DIR. BRADY RESIGNS
MT. VERNON CHARGE
Rector of Church Of Ascension
Surprises Parish - Says
Salary Is Too Small.

The Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, his
torian and author who has been Tor
about one year rector OF the Episcopal
Church Of the Ascension, one OF the
fashionable parishes in Mount Vernon,
rendered Yesterday his resignation, 20
take effect September /. unless an
earlier date is agreed upon. The an
nouncement was unexpected. DR. Brady
refused TO discuss the matter further
than to say that the salary is Inadequate
In his letter Or. Brady said in part:
THE salary, even without necessary
deductions for the various church pur-
noses is inadequate to my needs. Every
salary have ever received has been
that. and | have always supplemented IT
by my pen.
81 should not have got along this year
unless ! had drawn heavily upon my
limited resources TO supplement my
clerical income There are those who AL
WAYS strive TO read between the lines
soon after DR.. Brady took charge there
was some criticism over a slight change
which he made I'm the service. and 1t was
suggested by one OF the parishioners
that he Join the Catholic Church.
More recently, as result Of friction
between the rector and Samuel d. Pat
terson. a vestrymsn. when Dr. Brady
demanded Mr.. Patterson's resignation
saving that II Mr.. Patterson did not re-
sign he himself would resign. the vestry
at a special meeting voted almost unani-
mouslv to sustain the rector One vsstry-
man said
Or. Brady is constructive worker.
The parish has been asleep for twenty
years, and his coming was like slap IN
the face 10 sleeping man. DR.. Brady Is
a bigger man than most parishes have.
THE vestry is loyal to the pastor, and
we did not expect him to resign. The
situation is very unjust to Dr.. Brady.

Office for an hour last night. Although
their conversation was Unimportant. the
District Attorney believes that both q

would have 10 return to-day She went
10 the District Attorneys office and ar
about the same time a message from
Schmidt vas brought TO District At
torney Whitman.
The substance Of the message was that
he must see Bertha Zech at once. II
he could see her he would be willing 10
admit that he had slammed insanity
and TO tell the true story OF the death
of Anna Aumuler Meantime Bertha
Zech had been shown into the Office Of

Schmidt had asked to see District At

ney left before Schmidt was brought over
from the Tombs. leaving word tor him
that the preliminary interview must be
with Mr. Delehanty.
This did not suit Schmidt. who has
time and again refused to talk in the
Criminal Courts Building lest dictagraphs
be used TO take down his statements.
He refused to talk TO Mr.. Delehsnty or
TO Detectives Cassassa and Wood. who
brought him over.

to seek the interview. They exchanged
