Today he repeated that he could

been split for more than a year
when the pastor preached the
funeral sermon OF Jake L. Ham
mon, after Harmon was slain by
Clara Smith Harmon, were dis
,cussing the incident today, but
out OF the discussion nothing con-
crete for an Investigation has
come thus far.
This was one of the things
which brought about movements
for his removal as pastor Mr.

motion pictures in his church,

preached by three men as he was
leaving the church one Sunday
night and at the point OF guns
warned him to go to another city.
According to his story of the
Sunday night incident, he was on
his way to the home Of mem
Der of his congregation at about
s O'Clock when three men stopped
him and knocked him Unconscious
with a blow on the head When
he awoke he said he was in a
moving automobile, tied hand and
foot, a gag in his mouth and one
of the men sitting upon him. He
declared he heard oneeof the trio
urge the other two to do away
with him now, :" 2 while 81 another
suggested that they give him one
more chance to get out of town
before they killed him. Z
Soon afterwards he stated he
was thrown from the motor car
into a.ditch at the side Of the
road, and although he succeeded
in removing the gag sufficiently to
hail several passing automobiles,
none would stop and render him
aid when they recognized him.
Finally five tourists picked him
up and took him to the resid ence
of Senator j. e. Thomas nearby,
where first aid was administered.
He had recovered entirely today.
