BISHOPS TRIAL
MOVES SLOWLY
IN LEGAL MAZE
Hearing Temporarily
Halted By Browns
Heart Attack

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 2S.-(By
the Associated Press. THE trial of the
Right Rev William NJ. Brown, who is
facing a court of Protestant Episcopal
bishops on charges of teaching tenets
not held by the church, failed today
to get beyond the technical stage.
At one point it had progressed so
far that Charles Dibble of Kalamazoo,
Mich. church advocate, had made a
brief opening statement of what he en-
pected to show in the way of testi-
mony. But before he could call his
first witness the court recessed for
luncheon and after that interval first
temporary indisposition of the de-
PENDANT. then a fresh technical lombard
ment by his attorneys, halted prog
ress.
Earlier in the day three motions and
a demurrer by the defense had been
overruled.
Seek Indefinite Continuance
Tonight the case is awaiting deci
sion of motion for indefinite contin-
uance, based upon the defendants de-
sire to collect dispositions from ali bish-
ops of the church.
The situation arose at the start of
the afternoon session. Joseph w.
STARTS, Dayton, attorney for the bishop,
announced his clinet had suffered re-
action from heart stimulants and
would be unable to appear for half
an hour. He then presented the mo-
ton for continuance and two-hour
recess was ordered while the attorneys
prepared arguments.
BishOp Receivers
Bishop Brown had recovered suffi-
GENTLY to attend court when it recon-
vened. His counsel meanwhile had per-
fected the wording of its motion.
This recited that request had been
made on Bishop Murray of Maryland,
president of the court, Il month before
the trial began. for the appointment of
commissioners to take dispositions from
defense witnesses for whom summons
had been issued without effect. 1t add
ed that all the witnesses resided out
side of Ohio and that the defense had
no way of procuring their attendance.
The argument revolved around the
right of the court to know in advance
what testimony the defense wished to
adduce from the witness in order that
it might determine whether the testi-
mony was admissible if the witnesses
were present.

bargain! They were made up from

@The Relationship of DIR. Fosdick to
