CHARGES AGAINST RECTOR
* WOMAN WITNESS ATTACKED EVANGELIST’S OUTBURST. , li.iurd Pleat. Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.; LONDON, May 29. “She’s a had, bad woman; hell isn’t bad enough for her,” was the outburst that startled the Consistory Court when Robert Walton, greyhoundbreeder and evangelist, the husband of one of the Rev. Harold Davidson’s landladies, was questioned regarding Barbara Harris, a witness in the case in which, the rector of Stiffkey is charged with immorality. “She is an arrant liar, beginning and end. I would like to get her to myself for a few minutes —I would tear her to pieces.” “Is that the evangelist or the grey-hound-breeding coming out?”, asked Mr Oliver, counsel for the prosecution. Walton added that Barbara Harris would never have been in his house if he had not heard she was fatherless and that her mother was in an asylum. “That’is the evangelist speaking, not the butcher,” commented Mr Oliver.
