ton Presbyterian church controversy
got outside the confines of the church
today County authorities took hand.
A civil court of inquiry was under
way directed by Fletcher Riley, county
attorney, who announced he would go
to the bottom of the whole dissention

side a road outside Lawton, half con-
scious and securely tied and gagged.
Filing of criminal charges, he said

his inquiry today by preparing sub
poenas for about 80 persons who had
been suspended from Pastor Irwin's
church. They were ousted by the

with the sanction of Mr.. Irwin and
have been aligned against the minister
in the movement to have him expelled
from the Lawton pulpit on formal
charges drawn up by the governing
Ell Reno presbytery.
