MANN WARRANT FOR
ELOPING MINISTER

White Slave Charge at an
Early Hour To-day.

United States Marshal Albert Ettel-

that this morning he would arrest the
Rev. Cornelius Densel. former pastor OF
the First Netherlands Reformed Church

into New York for immoral purposes.
The warrant was issued yesterday by
United States Commissioner Joseph A.
Delaney in Paterson, the complaint be-
ing sworn to by J. F. Holmes, an agent
OF the Department Of Justice.
Agent Holmes said he had spent
Wednesday in Passaic investigating the
elopement Of the minister and Miss
Hannenberg on November ~. The
couple left together and were gone until
December 8, visiting New York, Buff
falo, Niagara Falls and other cities.
Holmes said before he leYt Passaic
that he had learned that the girls fare
into New York was paid by the Rev.
Mr.. Densel. and 1t Is largely on this
point that the warrant for white slav-
cry is based. The Marshal said. that
the reason he did not serve the war
rant last night was because he did not
receive 1t until after four o'clock, and
the minister to be arraigned before the
Commissioner.
The Rev. Mr.. Densel and his family
expected a call from the Marshal during
the afternoon, and from soon after
noon until o'clock Densel and several
of his sons and daughters, of whom
there are eight. could be seen moving
about inside the house with their out
door wraps on, prepared to leave for
Paterson
More than twenty newspaper men
and photographers, both still and
motion picture, waited in the rain on
the doorstep Of the Densel home for
the preacher to be arrested, and the
porches of houses across the street
were filled with men and women os-
tensibly reading magazines and news
papers, but peeping over them every
once in while to see II the arrest
had taken place. During the afternoon
the preacher took a walk around the
block and was followed by a curious
crowd. He was asked to make a speech
or a statement, but declined.
Although the Marshal did not appear,
the Densels did receive visit from .
representative of the law. Deputy
Sheriff George Hoffman, attended by
curious throng, visited the house late
in the afternoon and served a summons
and complaint on the preacher In the
$4,000 damage suit filed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Marinus Hannenberg. parents Of
the girl. Mrs. Densel answered Hoff-
mans ring and said:
You here again? Why can't they let
me be?'
Densel appeared at that moment and
invited Hoffman to enter. The Deputy
Sheriff said afterward that the preacher
wept when the summons was served on
him.
