PASTORS WIFE BRINGS
NOT PEACE BUT RAZOR

She was not concerned so much
with the propagation of religion as
the protection of her husband, pastor
of a negro church on Travis street.
Bearing one scar of a previous re-
ligious argument, her husband called
religious conference at the church
Thursday night to try some of the
members for unbecoming conduct.
They demurred as his wife had feared.
During the harangue one of the
congregation noticed that the wife sit
ting directly behind the pulpit had
gun.
They became excited. Various ones
called for police aid, each adding hor-
rors to the impending battle until the
stations supply of officers became
exhausted.
The "war" was stopped without a
battle by a young army including
Captain of Detectives Harvey, Police
Captain Treyino, Detectives Kohr,
Dwyer and Lee johnson, investigator
for the district attorneys office.
The police matron ensured the
truce when she removed razor from
the amazon's person.
