shot to death her 16 year old daugh-
ter, Rosa, when she found Rosa
holding in her arms n new born
babe, believes the dead girl still
living and at home, she testified to-

Mrs. Stoble was called as the first
witness in her own defense at her
trial here, after "JeIsey Justice -
far famed for its speed, had seen
completion of the STAT" > case in a
matter of but a6out thrcc hours.
The case against Mrs. Stoblc consist
ed chiefly of her own confession
that she shot the girl to death, fear
ing disgrace to the family name.
She in sisted she had no memory
of the crime whatsoever, and in
crude English attorneys drew from
her the puzzling declaration that
Rosa was still! alive. Mrs. Htoblc
was a confused figure as she sat in
the witness chair, seemingly having
little comprehension Of what the
proceedings around her all meant.
Her opening evidence laid th"
basis for an insanity defense which

Rev. Dr.. c. Wilson Becton, Conducting Revival Here.

which have calculated to bring about
much dissatisfaction among quite a
few of our members relative to. your
coming to US. To be plain, it has
been brought to our attention that
there have been held in our city by
Sister Becton, meetings of spiritual
istic nature at which certain fees
were charged.
AS a Christian church of the Bap-
tist faith, we do not subscribe to such
teachings, nor those who proclaim
such; we are strong in the belief that
such doctrine will bring about much
disruption of our flock; while we are
endeavoring to bring them closer to-
gether.
After a prayerful consideration by
the pastor and deaconS of our church,
the clerk was instructed to write you
advising that because of the reasons
set forth in the beginning of this let
ter, we could not, as we had hoped,
open our church for the services as
had been arranged for Nov. 27, 1927.
1t is with much reluctance that we
could but arrive at this conclusion.
We pray that the Lord may ever bless
you and yours, and that this world
shall soon become the Kingdom of our
God and His Christ.
