of Justice Jennings Bailey
of the District Supreme Court to tell
the story of the controversy which has
split the church membership into two
bands, one backing Rev. Louis A.
Mossburg, the pastor, and the other
seeking to oust him.
Because of the crowded cCmdltlon OF
his docket. Justice Bailey certified the
case to Justice Frederick l.. Siddons,
and the congregation changed over TO
the other court. disappointment
awaited them there, for counsel got
into a wrangle over the right TO make
the pastor a party to the controversy.
His hackers, of course, had nCF sought
an Injunction against him, and AT
torney Austin f. Garfield, wlao is as
soeiated with Attorneys Wilton j.
Lambert and r. II. Yeathan in opposi-
tion to the pastor, contended he IS an
essential party to the case.
Justice Siddons cut the knot by
granting permission to the opposition
to make Rev. Mr.. Mossback a party TO
their cross petition and gaNe Attor-
news Raymond b. Dickey and r. e

ton. 10 days In which to file an answer
10 the cross petition on behalf of the
minister.
The litigation. was started March
when John r. Taltavull and rs other
members brought suit for an injunc-
tion against Edwin c. Crouch and
four other members. Justice Bailey
on reading the petition granted tenn
porary restraining order. preventing
Edwin c. Crouch, John e. Steele and
Robert /. Maddox from acting as trus-
tees. Andrew NJ. Steele from acting as
superintendent of the Sunday school
and James T.. Cboey from acting as
general treasurer. The defendants in
an answer denied the charges of the
Taltavull faction and asked an in
junction against the pastor and the
plaintiffs. Justice Bailey held the sit
uation as it existed under the restrain
ing order until after the Easter serv-
ices.
Hearing will probably be deferred
for about two weeks.
