officers left for Spartanburg tonight, taking Harrell with them.
 Following the visit of Nashville minister to Harrell's cell last night, Maj. Rutledge Smith went to the jail and talked with Harrell about the case. Major Smith then turned the case over to his son, Albert Smith, and directed him to act as Harrells attorney. Major Smith offered to pay all of the expenses of such litigation. but Albert Smith said that he would charge no fees for his services.
 Albert Smith obtained from Harrell statement telling all of the circum- stances of the killing of Major Me Leary, substantially the same as con- tained in Harrell's confession. This statement, Mir. Smith said, he will send t0 some ex-service man who is an at torney at the place of trial in South Carolina, with the request that such ex-service man act as Harrel's attor- ley without fee. In case no such lawyer can be found there, MT. Smith said he will go to South Carolina and himself conduct the case.

RUSSELL CREED
 WILL CLAIM 700
 AT ONE BAPTISM
Amid Side Show BallyhOO, Immersion Will Be In
 Public Pool

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 24.-Avow- ing in eight different languages their faith in eternal life, approximately 700 persons will be baptized in a public swimming pool here Saturday after noon amidst the ballyhooing of a Northside amusement park.
 They are the followers of the late Pastor Russell. whose words, millions now living will never die," expressed his religious philosophy. All those to be baptized are attending a meeting here of the International Bible Stu dents association.
 Seven Pastors Necessary
 With the raucous shouts of the side show advertisers ringing over the wa ters, seven pastors will immerse the Russell followers. Brother McMillan, one of the leaders, explains that num- ber is provided because most pastors collapse after baptizing 100 persons.
 Standing waist deep in the water, barefoot, but wearing an orthodox back ministerial robe, the baptiser will meet new members of the faith at the water edge and lead them in. Then. pro- rouncing a short prayer for the cleans ing of their souls, he Will lmmerse Ineni'
 Trained nurses will be on hand to care for those who may strangle Tn the water. While awaiting their turn, the candidates will wear long black robes, the brothers on one side and the sisters on the other side of the pool. Each convert will be immersed separately ana the service will last several hours.
 Bleacher seats have been provided tor the spectators, and Brother McMlllan expects crowd larger than that drawn by the Recreation park.
 The hurdy- -gurdy of the park will be quiet during the service, but other amusements will be running full blast.
 Prior to the baptismal, Judge J: F. Rutherford, successor to Pastor Rus sell, will deliver the baptismal sermon, outlining the doctrines of the Russell ties. They believe the millennium IS dawning and that those who die rest in their grave with their bodies, await ing the second coming of Christ.
