RECTOR’S CONDUCT
CONSISTORY COURT INQUIRY. OUTBURST BY EVANGELIST. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 11.55 p.m.) London, May 29. “She’s a bad, bad women. Hell isn’t bad enough for her,” was the outburst startling the Consistory Court when Robert Walton, greyhound breeder and evangelist, husband of one of the Rev, Harold Davidson’s landladies, was questioned regarding Barbara Harris. “She is an arrant liar from beginning to end. I would like to get her myself for a few minutes. I would tear her to pieces.” “Is that the evangelist or the greyhound breeder coming out?” asked Mr Oliver, counsel for the prosecution. Walton added that Miss 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’s the evangelist speaking, not the butcher,” commented Mr Oliver. The Consistory Court is hearing charges of misconduct against the Rev. Harold Davidson, rector of Stiffkey, one of the charges being constant association with women of loose character. The rector's defence is that he was engaged in rescue work.
