TO TRY PASTOR
Presbyterian Assembly Probes
"Gretna Green" Charge.
"Marrying Parson" Alleged to
Have Wed 1000 Elopers.

Winona Lake, Ind, May 21.-Mary-
lands marrying parson'' went on trial
here today.
The case of Rev. J. L. McElmoyle,
accused of running a "Gtretna Green"
in his little parsonage at Elkton. Nd,
was argued before the judicial COM
mission, the supreme court of the
Presbyterian church.
Several years ago the Rev. McEl-
moyle was charged with indiscrimi-
nately marrying elopers who lodged
and Delaware.
In the case which was reviewed be-
fore James P. Goodrich. Indiana's for
mer governor, who presided over the
high tribunal today, it was charged
that the minister married thousands
of couples in the little town. One
count against him states that as many
as 1000 couples were united in one
year.
The hearing today brought out the
allegation that Rev. McElmoyle and
the minister of another Elkton church
were running a race for "Gretna
Green" honors to see who could marry
the most couples and that the former
was in the lead when the Presbytery
of Newcastle, the lowest court, stopped
the alleged marrying marathon.
DR.. Bernard Steiner, head of the
Enoch Pratt libraries of Baltimore,
was Rev. McElmoyle's defender at the
trial. Decision by the judicial COM
mission will be on whether or not the
lower courts had power to make such
a Suggestion The findings of the
court will be made public to the gem
eral assembly next Wednesday.

kenburg with an application for a re-
Strainlng order The order was issued
and was served on members of the
commission by a deputy United States
marshal. The commission then talked
over provisions of the writ and decided
to proceed with the hearing.
The suit to enjoin action by the
commission came before the federal
court because of diversity of residence
between the companies. 1t calls upon
the state commission to establish its
authority for the investigation of rates
and seeks to restrain such hearing un-

lowing conference tho, members of
the commission decided to hold their

matter of much speculation.

mission that sending companies re-
ceive rs per cent of the toll charge

pany does not participate in the reve-
nues- The toll company receives the

action of the commission was in the
form of defiance of the courts order
and bordered on contempt. He re-
piled with story to the effect that
Bob IngersoH once displayed his dis
pleasure at the order of a court. Asked
