charge OF having interrupted

church Sunday when Rev. Weyer
was delivering sermon against
Germany.
Scherer's case was not tried be-
cause Of delay in filing formal
charge against him, hut Judge
Graham engaged in conversation
with him to determine the pris-
oner's feelings regarding the
war.
I'm not pro-German, and
I'm not wanting Germany to win

Graham.

Bible and try to preach hatred to-

gregation If they wanted to ask
any questions. I just asked IL
he was preaching the gospel or

they arrested me-"
Scherer announced that he
would retain an attorney to fight
the charge. His case was set for
Tuesday afternoon.
