WHILE RICHMOND TALKS
Gates Padlocked and Persons
Objectionable Are Not AL
lowed to Enter

The siege at st. Johns Episcopal Church
has been resumed, with the Rev. George
Chalmers Richmond "holdng the fort"
The gates to the church were padlocked
yesterday and men we're on guard to pre-
vent the entrance Of persons objections
able to Richmond. A policeman fingered
near the gates, having been instructed
TO remain there In case Of trouble, while
n plaln-clothes man heard the sermon.
All OF this was the aftermath OF the
Rev. Mr.. Richmonds suspension from
all exercise Of the office and functions Of
the sacred ministry" for one year Bishop
Rhnelander read the sentence OF suspen.
sion last Friday
"1s this jail?" asked tall man, APP
preaching the gate. lie was a stranger at
St Johns, and Robert l.. Keene, rector's
warden, who held the key to the paddock,
regarded him suspclously. The stranger
had a companion and the two gave their
names as George and John Miller saying
they were trustees of the Daniel l.. Crafty
estate. Mr.. Crafty. who was a vestryman
OF ST. Johns Church, died few weeks
ago, He bequeathed $4,000 to st. Johns
Church
This is not Jail" said Mr.. Keene;
'it Is n church"
THANK YOU" said the spokesman OF the
Milers; "seeing these barred gates and
padlocks, l was somewhat in doubt"
The NGillers retreated to the clicking of
the cameras of newspaper photographers.
The next visitor to be challenged was
Thomas Gale. n member of the so-called
"curbstone vestry." consisting Of the Rev.
Mr. Richmond's opponents,
II want to see Mr.. Richmond" Gale
said to Mr.. Keene.
Hes too busy to talk to you,' was the
rather contemptuous reply.
Mr.. Gale responded by saying something
to the effect that he was glad to see
Keene where he belonged. behind the
bars" and went on his way.
Mr. Keene was expecting the Rev.
Henri NJ. G. Huff. who on former oc-
Casion was sent by Bishop Rhinelander
to preach in the Rev. Mr. Richmond's
pulpit. In his pocket Keene had spicy
communication which he proposed to
read to Mr.. HUFF. But Mr., Huff failed
to appear, so the paper remained in Mr..
Keenes pocket.
Meanwhile large congregation as
semblcd in the church to hear the Rev
Mr. Richmond The rector appeared in
the chancel wearing surplice and cassock,
but without his stole He explained that
Church, and since he has been suspended
from the office of minister for one year,
he will not preach in st. Johns Church
during that period.
"But as director of parish affairs 1
shall speak to the congregation every
Sunday morning and evening" Mr.. Rich
