PROBE OF CHARGES
OF MURDER AGAINST
MINISTER TO BEGIN
Alleged Slayer OF Father Doyle To
Fight Proceedings At Every
~ Step, 1t Is Said

Birmingham, Aug. 22-State coun-
sci and attorneys for the defense
alike today were silent as to their
courses of procedure on the eve Of
the date set for the preliminary hear
ing of the case against Rev. Edwin X,
Stephenson, charged with murder in
connection with the Staying of Father
James E. Doyle, pastor of st. PauPs
and dean of the Catholic church for
North Alabama.
1t is understood the defense will
rot waive preliminary examination
and is anxious TO force the state to
show it's hand. Under Alabama law,
defendant charged with murder and
not under indictment by grand jury,
may demand a preliminary hearing.
The Jefferson county jury will begin
investigation of the case tomorrw, ii
was stated by Solicitor Tate. In the
event of an indictment before the pre-
liminary hearing is held, such exam
ination would be forestalled.
State attorneys have made no an
nouncement concerning its witnesses
except that it will call Mrs. Ruth
Stephenson Gussman, whose adop-
tion of the Catholic faith and whose
subsequent marriage to communi'
cant of that church, is said to have
precipitated a controversy that lead
to the killing of the priest.

IRISH PARLIAMENT CONSIDERING REPLY
TOPEACE TERMS OFFERED BY BRITAIN
Possibility That Inquiry May Be- Made for Further Details Of the Offer
Of Dominion Satus-Absoute Rejection Not Believed Likely

Dublin, Aug. 22.-Secret sessions
Of the Irish republican parliament to
draft the Sim Fein reply to Great
Britain's peace proposals began here
today. The public meetings last week
and subsequent conferences between
Eamonn de Valera and his colleagues
were believed to have laid the ground
for an early reply.
The presence of Harry ]. Boland.
who represented Mr.. de Valera in the
United States after the Sim Fein
chieftain had returned to Ireland. was
considered as important, and his ar
rival yesterday was looked upon us
significant.
nj There have been indications that a
eertain amount of tlissension nlexisted
in the rank and file of the parliament
over the attitude to be taken toward
the British offer of dominion status
for Ireland, and it appeared probable
today that many members would
speak on the question before final de-
cision was reached.
Press comments by Dublin newspa-
pers would seem to reflect a desire
on the part of the Sim Fein not to
utterly reject the British offer, but
rather to obtain from Prime Minister
Lloyd George a statement giving de.
tails of the governments offer. OBJ.
jections have been made that Ireland,
because of her geographical position.
would not be given the same sort of
dominion government that is enjoyed
'1ty DahaiEA or Australia, and it has
been held that the lprimed minister
