Denies Halliday Was Connected With the
 Christian Scientists

Despite the testimony of police of ficials, who have examined cores pondence and other effects of Will liam A. Halliday, who was arrested after fight with his partner, Francis Romero, denial that Halliday has been associated with the Christian Science Church has been received by The Farmer.
 Halliday appears to have been a many-sided man, from his correspon- dence. He had numerous affiliations The police say there were many let ters from Christian Scientists in his home, and some of these prompted one person to remark on the tremen- dous regard in which he apparently was held.
 The following is self explanatory: Editor of the Bridgeport Tar
 mer":
 Your attention is respectfully
 called to recent articles appearing
 in the Farmer" relating to the
 affairs of man named William A. Halliday in which certain un-
 true statements were made, un- Intentionally of course. as to his
 being a reader in the Christian
 Science Church. and in the issue of Dec. Is the following: Those who have investigated Halliday's past declare that Christian Science believers look on him almost as divine. His in- fluence among them was un- canny.'' !
 Such a statement as theA above denotes impardonable ignorance of the teachings of Christian Science and of the class of people who practice it's teachings-and is a reflection upon the intelligence of a large number of the citizens of Bridgeport who are Christian Scientists.
 MT. Halliday was in no way connected with the Christian
 Science Church in Bridgeport or elsewhere in, so far as we know or are able to learn. Feeling very sure that you would desire to correct any mis- statements made in your paper
 which would be regarded as un- just, and which would reflect up- on the intelligence of many of it's readers I do not hesitate to ask that a suitable correction be pub lished.
 Very truly yours, FREDERIC s. HOPPER, c. s. Committee on Publication.
