Went Into Sleep Monday
Night; Orders Watchers
Be at His Side.
BY ARCH STEINEL

Life in the 300 block on West
McCarty street had for it's orbit
today a man dressed in white lying
on an iron cot in the Church OF
God, 81 West mccarthy street.
The man, Edgar K Wheatley,
81, has been in a semi-coma since
Monday night.
NeighborS whisper, Hes in a
trance"
Fellow church members say, 1.-THE
Holy Ghost is in him."
While visitors say, Hes sick"
HE went into the sleep Monday
night. He had been sick in bed.
He was healed and he walked from
his bed into the church." declared
M. C. Harvey, pastor of the parish.
Foresaw His Trance
'We were kneeling down to pray
when he fell face down on the floor
in trance. He told us he would
go into this trance and said, !
don't know how long it will be-
the pastor explained. Its the first
time I've ever seen anything like
this in my six years of preaching
Prior to entering the state of
coma, Wheatley laid down rules
which should be followed at his
bedside, rules that have been fol-
lowed faithfully by the seventeen
members of the little frame church
since the trance began.
They are:
That four members always shall
be on watch over him.
That Mr.. Harvey shall be the only
one to feed him milk and water.
Orders Electric Light
That no woman member Of the
parish shall touch him except for
healing.
That an electric light shall shine
nightly over the sign, Church OF
God" above the ediflce's portal.
Throughout the last two days and
today, four parishioners always were
beside his cot in the church, fan
ming and feeding him.
His specification that he should
be dressed entirely in white has
been carried out. A white shirt,
white duck trousers, and white socks
form his garb.
He answers questions Of visitors
by mumbling Biblical quotations.
"The soul is one" he says. Church
members pray by his side. Chill
dren play with hymn books in the
corner of the church.
Struck by Bandits
"He was struck on the head by
bandits when he was Waterman at
the Board of Trade building" whis-
pers friend.
"He forecast that doctors and
LAWYERS would come to his bedside, "
a church member explained, "and
last night a doctor came. He didn't
touch him. Any doctor can examine
him, but he mustn't give him medl-
cine or use knife. The Holy Ghost
is with him."
Wheatley is a maintenance man
at the William H. Block Company
store. officials of the company did
not know of his condition until in
formed by The Times. They said
his Job awaits him.
