EX-SECRETAR|ES
/ TESTIFY FOR
SHELTON
Two Women, Three CIeriCs
Character Witnesses for
Accused Methodist Pastor

In an attempt to expedite the
ecclesiastical trial of the Rev. DR..
William A. Shelton, pastor of the
Mt. Vernon M. E. Church, being
tried in Alexandria, Va, on
charges brought by his former
secretary. Miss Carrie Williams, it
was decided today to limit the
number of character witnesses on
both sides.
It was at first understood that
character witnesses would be en-
tireIy barred and the case tried
solely on the story told by Miss
Williams, her friend, Miss Ida Lee
Powell. and DIR. Shelton.
Later it developed that the,
court had heard this morning
the character, testimony of the
Rev. DR.. w. J. Young, head of
the missions department Of Emory
University, Atlanta; the Rev. DR..
F. N. Parker, dean of Gambler
School of Theology, of Emory
University. and DR.. r. L. Russell.
pastor of the Druid Methodist
Episcopal Church, Atlanta.
All three. old friends of DR..
Shelton. came to Washington to
testify in his behalf.
Also testifying today were Miss
Fay Logan and Miss EsteIIe
DOZier. both of Atlanta and both
former secretaries of DIR. Shelton.
1t was decided to hear the five
witnesses, all testifying for the
defense, as it was urgent that
they return to Atlanta. They
were heard despite the fact that
the prosecution had not finished
its case.
Friends of DIR. Shelton strongly
intimated today that no matter
what the conclusion of the
church court, which is entirely
"a family affair."" action in the
public courts will be Immediately
instituted at the close of the trial.
Mrs. Shelton Indignantly denied
stories published out of town to
the effect that the friendship be-
tween her husband and Miss Will
liams is of long standing.
Said Mrs. Shelton:
''Dr. Shelf On first saw Miss
Williams when he came to
Washington in September of
last year to attend a confer.
ence."

DETROIT, Sept. % G.N.S).-
Modification of the Volstead act
to legalize the sale and manufac.
ture of real beer, within the linn.
itations of the Constitution, was
proposed to the American Legion's S
convention today by it's national
employment commission.
The commission declared legal
tged beer would put hundreds of
thousands of unemployed back to
work.
The recommendation was laid
before the convention by Howard
M. Savage, former national COM
mander and the committees chair
man.
The convention tomorrow or to-
day is expected to declare for the
le9alization of beer or possibly
even repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. provided the DOM
inant wet sentiment can be con-
centrated on single plan.
Suggestion Cheered
The declaration in favor of
legalized beer was given tu-
f11ultuous reception by the vet
Grams, who cheered and ap-
plauded.
The commission recommended
that the legiOn's 10000 local posts
devote their activities, to finding
Jobs and to keeping the unem-
pl0yed from migrating. 1t also en-
dorsed a holiday on immigration
and a campaign to spur Federal,
State and municipal governments
into initiating new public work
programs.
