Ruling Held Unfair

In the decision it was stated that
reversal Of the trial courts finding
was granted en- the grounds that
In our opinion the courts rulings
were erroneous and prejudical and we
think that prejudice against the de-
fendant Yves excited in the minds of
the jurors by comments rulings and
questions by the court throughout the
trial, and that the court went beyond
reasonable and proper limits in the
cross examination Of defendants with
ness"
The real difficulty in which Major
Divine, a minister So years cid and
r91lried found himself arose on or
about November 16, 1881. when the
State police, the county police, the
VILLAGE police and the fire department
raided his home at 70 Macon Street,
Sayville, Long Island, at midnight
and arrested 70 of his flock for disor-
derby conduct
