THE HOLY ROLLERS
SCRAP IN COURT
Preacher and Flock in MiX-up Over
the Possession of Papers OF the
Church. Prayed in Court.

Church. Prayed in Court.
F. E. Lewis, the holy roller preach
err who was arrested by Sheriff Tur-
ner in church Sunday night week
ago on a possessory warrant sworn
out by some of his members, was
given a hearing before Judge j. W.
Peddy Saturday morning. Lewis had
present as witnesses the bishop, who
is his mother, and the presiding ell
der, who is his brother, and claimed
that the members of the church had
nothing to do with its property, but
that it was under the entire control
of the bishop, the presiding elder and
the pastor The members who were
seeking possession of the papers
made a different contention. Lewis,
who had been in Jail since Sunday
night, was represented by Judge j.
G.. Parks and the congregation was
represented by Col. L. G. Hoyl. The
lawyers had lively wrangle, and
the trial was full of amusing Incl
dents. During the examination OF
the witnesses Lewis kneeled in open
court and offered a silent prayer, but
the court said he was compelled to
render his decision according to the
evidence presented to him, and he
ordered the papers delivered to the
members of the church. Lewis at
torney appealed, and the papers were
turned over to Sheriff Turner for
safe-keeping and Lewis was released
from custody.

DR.. C. c. Applewhite and his
brother, DR.. j. D. Applewhite, who
assisted him, have completed their
hook worm Investigations in Terrell
county, and left Dawson Monday

JUDGE PEDDX ASSESSED Af-
nr.RANCE BOND AT $4,000.
81 Of Principals in Alleged Insur-
ance Fraud Given Commitment
rr;aI and Held for City Court.

,ca Fraud Given COHlInItInenb
Trial and Held for City Court.
~ G. C. Hill, the negro physician
ho &c mixed up in the recent alleged
'avd against the North Carolina Mu-
lo1 and Provident Association, was
..,or committal trial before Judge
W Peddy Friday. The evidence
S.foro Judge Peddy showed that Hill
pod made the examination for insur-
Ia" oo an the life of Estella Fuller,
~'bo was in the last stages of con-
ontion. and stated in the applica-
s;nn that he had known the Fuller
I'm ten years. The examination
for insurance was made on July SOth,
1914 and the woman died in a short
mbi1e afterwards from consumption.
W. Logan Thomas and DR.. j. L. Shir-
low the latter a negro physician, said
tbov visited the woman professionally
~ Nav and found her in the last
l+ooes of consumption. S. ]. Coach
man. the agent of the company. tes-
lied that he had DR.. Hill examine
Martha Suggs, a healthy negress,
thinking it was the Fuller woman.
The Suggs woman, however, swore
that she had never been examined
for insurance or otherwise by DR..
Hill In his statement to the court
Dr Hill said he did not know the
muller woman, and was not sure
whether he examined the Suggs wo-
man. impersonating the Fuller wo-
man, or not. Prince Fuller, the hus-
hand of Estella Fuller, swOre that DR..
Hill examined his wife and that he
had treated her professionally and
knew her.
After hearing the testimony and
arguments by the attorneys Judge
Peddy bound Hill over to the city
court under a bond of 500. In rem
dering his decision Judge Peddy said
some of the evidence in the case led
him to believe that Hill was inno-
cent of any intention of violating the
law and inclined him to dismiss the
case, but there was other evidence
pointing strongly to his guilt, and as
his powers were limited, the law di-
recting him to hold the defendant If
there was a reasonable doubt as to
his innocence, he would be compelled
to assess a bond.
Hill was represented by Attorneys
R. R. Marlin and j. R. Irwin and the
state was represented by City Court
Solicitor Gurr and Judge l.. G. Hoyl.
The other defendants in the alleg-
ed conspiracy will not demand COM
trial.
