PASTOR RUSSELL SILENT TO HIS WIFE FOR MONTHS Would Address Her Only by Letter, and Then in Terms of Reproach. ORDERED OUT OF SICKROOM. Wife's Counsel's Brief in Separation Suit Charges Husband With Sending Offensive Messages by Rose Ball. (Special to The Eagle.) Pittsburg, October 31-Surprise has been expressed here by those who know Pastor Russell at the assertions conin the last issue of the People'3 Puipit, of which many coples are being circulated in this city. One feature of this issue is Pastor Russell's explanation of his trouble with his wife.

He makes in this issue the same charges against his wife for which the Superior Court of Pennsylvania has declared there was not a syllable of justification in the evidence whih Pastor Russell in court in his vain endeavor preprevent his wife from getting a separation. Some of the specific statements about Mrs. Russell in Pastor Russell's paper, which have aroused comment here, read follows: "She came under the inas fluence of what is popularly known as 'Woman's and, because she could not have her own way and write what she chose for the columns of my journal, The Watch Tower, she endeavored to coerce me and took one step after another, apparently determined that, if she could not coerce, she would crush and destroy my life and influence." To those here who recall the Superior Court's characterization of Pastor Russell's conduct toward his wife as evidencing "Insistent egotism, extravagant -praise and continual arrogant domination," and the same court's reference to Mrs. Russell as a "sensitive Christian woman," Pastor Russell's present explanation of their difficulties is not convincing. A review of this part of the testimony in the separation suit which called forth criticism of Pastor Russell's conduct by the court is contained in the libellant's brief, Porter, prepared who was Mrs.

Russell's attorby Congressman Stephen G. ney throughout the long court proceedings in which Pastor Russell was which repeatedly defeated. In this brief, WAS submitted to the Superior Court, to which Pastor Russell carried the suit after the of Common Pleas had jury in the Court rendered a verdict against him, Congressman Porter says: testimony clearly shows that the "The relations between libellant (Mrs. Russell) and respondent (Pastor Russell) somewhat strained prior to had become the year 1896, about which time respondceased speaking to his wife, and ent holding all his communications with her by letter. Letter of Pastor Russell to Wife Key of Situation.

"His letter to her of July 8, 1896, may considered the key to this be fairly case, marital as and his treatment of his wife it shows respondent's notions of life, with the spirit of that let1s in harmony ter. In the letter he is states (Exhibit 3): am convinced that our difficulty a growing mistake for strong-minded men and one generally; that it is a If they will marry, the great women to marry. strong-minded had far better marry such 88 are not too intellectual and highture of things, peace spirited, for there roe never can, under in the present naconditions where the two are on an in the letter he states: 'For the past three years you have cruelly forcing upon me the evibeen dence that we both erred when we married; that we are not adapted to each other. The last month Has fastened this conviction upon me much against my Pastor Sulked for Weeks at a Time. "While professing at all times to be by the Word of God the undisguided puted evidence 18 that he would sulk for weeks at a time and not speak to his wife, and would resort to the pen to have any communications with her; n- stead of approaching her personally to try to secure reconciliation of their differences and praying with her as a godly man would have done, he went about her associates and told them she among was under the hypnotic influence of Satan in the form of her sister, who was his father's second wife.

"It will be noted here that Mr. Russell in this letter of July 8, 1896, in stating his conviction that they made a mistake in getting married, and that that conviction had been growing on him for three years, which would make it begin in 1893. The dispute about the editorship of the paper began in 1896; therefore it could not have been the dispute about the same that forced the conviction upon Mr. Russell that their marriage was a mistake, and which conviction he says bad been growing on him for three years. "During the letter writing period Mr.

Russell refrained from ether bidding his wife good morning or good night; and though he denied this on the witness stand, his letter of July 9, 1896 (Exhibit 2), clearly contradicts him, for in that he states: 'To avoid misunderstanding, let me say, under the circumstances it properly devolves upon you to make the advances 011 the line of social amenities between us. It would be improper for me to take the initiative in the matter of amenities such as, 'good 'good etc." "The atmosphere of this home from July, 1896, to the time when she withdrew from it in November, 1897, was filled with unbearable silence and utter neglect. This, of itself, was an indignity a of such a character as to render the condition of a woman of Mrs. Russell's delicacy of feeling intolerable and her life burdensome. "Nagging and Cutting Sarcasm." "To this, libellant testifled, was added nagging and cutting sarcasm.

The erysipelas, which had been confined to head and face, thereafter involved the whole person, and was most distressing and dangerous. "Even if defendant did attend to her himself at nights when at home, in preference to hiring a competent nurse, it is evident from the testimony of libellant that he did not do it in a way becoming to a kind husband, for libellant testifles that in the midst of a nervous chill he told her himselr that it was a Judgment of God upon her, and that if she could not control her nerves he would leave her alone, for it was not his duty to attend to her. Sent Offensive Message to Wife by Rose Ball.

While respondent denies that he ever told the libellant directly that her sickness was a judgment of God, he admits that he did say this to Rose Ball, with the intention of having her repeat it to his wife. This Rose Ball is the same girl that the respondent admitted was in the habit of sitting on his knee and kigsing him, and would naturally be the most offensive messenger by whom he could send a message to his wife. And she didn't fall to carry it to the bedridden wife. "Finally, however, she did recover, after about nine weeks illness. She was again about the duties of her home in the spring and summer of 1897, when one day, in the presence of this same Rose Bail, he demands of his wife an Itemized statement of her outlays.

Something he had never required before, probably because he realized that she had made more of his money than he did. Such demand at any time would be inexpressibiy humiliating to her, and when made in the presence of Rose Ball would be inexcusably and utterly intolerable." In rendering its decision against, Pastor Russell, the Superior Court recurs to many of the above matters and partly bases its decision on the facts which they disclose. Evangelist Burridge Continues to Examine Pastor Russell's Teachings. Continuing his course of seven lectures entitled T. Russell's Teaching Examined," J.

Burridge, the well known evangelist of Bristol England, delivered the second address last evening in the Bethany Church, Clermont and Myrtie avenues, the subject, "Mr. Russell's Christ and the Christ of the Mr. Burridge took up Pastor Russell on the divinity of Christ and showed that Christ as taught by the Brooklyn preacher is entirely different from the Christ of the Scriptures. He also made it apparent that Pastor Russell's statements in his works on the subject are both inconsistent and contradictory.

4 ON DAY SET FOR WEDDING RICHESON IS IN COURT Accused Clergyman Haggard and Pale at Hearing, which Is Adjourned. RIDES IN VAN WITH "DRUNKS." Continuance of Case Due to Fact That Grand Jury Has Not Yet Reported. Boston, October 31-When the case of the Rev. Clarence V. T.

Richeson, pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, Cambridge, who is charged with murdering Miss Avis Linnell, was called in the Municipal Court, today, the hearing was postponed until November 7. The minister. was in court only two minutes. This is the day on which the accused clergyman was to have been married to Miss Violet Edmands. Mr.

Richeson appeared tired and wan after his eleventh day in jail, and he could scarcely be distinguished from any of the score of other prisoners who were crowded into the pen with him. The Richeson case was called so soon after the minister's arrival in court, and disposed of 80 quietly, that few of the spectators knew of it. Clerk Ingalls wen: through the formality of pronouncing the hearing further continued until next week, Tuesday, November 7. The prisoner then stepped down from the dock, was escorted through the door and taken to the Tombs to await his return to the Charles street jail. The continuance of the hearing this morning was 8 formality, being made necessary owing to the fact that the Sutfolk County Grand Jury, which has considered for three days evidence presented by District Attorney Joseph C.

Pelletier against Mr. Richeson, had not made a report on the case. The Grand Jury was to resume its sitting at 2 o'clock this afternoon. It has been expected that the request of the government for a continuance would be objected to by the defense, but Assistant District Attorney Thomas D. Lavelle and Philip R.

Dunbar, attorney for the defense, held a short conference this morning and when the case came up there was not a rumble in the machinery of court formalities. Newspapermen in the courtroom had scanned closely the dock in which were the score of prisoners, most of them undel arrest for intoxication, in the hope of identifying the clergyman. The minister, whose neat appearance had been remarked everywhere while ho enjoyed his liberty, could scarcely be digtinguished from the other prisoners. Even when Mr. Richeson rose and faced the court he was not recognized.

His face was haggard and pale and his clothes appeared ill-fitting. His hair, however, was neatly combed. Later in the day the accused clergyman made his second trip to jail in the prison van which carries the prisoners from the Tombs. Ase on his first trip, following his appearance in court after his arrest on October 20, at the home of his fiancee, Miss Violet. Edmands, his companions 011 this ride were his ill-kempt brethren of the detention pen, who were in the court with him.

In contrast to this ride was that which the accused clergyman had originally planned for the day of his marriage to Miss Edmands. SUPT. MC CABE DINED. His Efficient Work in School Districts Nos. 36 and 40 Lauded.

Lectures Announced by Superintendent Samuel Cohen. What was probably the most interesting session of the Sunday school of the Temple Mt. Sinai was the one held last Sunday morning. The attendance was almost double over the previous Sunday morning, which was the opening day, and a number of new teachers also enrolled. After the Sunday school session was at an end, Samuel Cohen, the superintendent, announced a treat for the children and teachers for next Sunday morningnamely, a lecture by Deputy Health Commissioner Fogerty of Brooklyn.

Commissioner Fogerty is the first of many prominent men who it is believed will lecture to the children on various Sundays during the winter. The next business in order was suggested by one of the teachers, namely the reorganization of the Culture Club. This was accomplished with the election of Miss Rebecca Bloom as president; the Rev. Dr. Cantor as vice president; Miss Bertha Lewis as secretary, and Miss Hannah Ascher as treasurer, with the Sunday school board, consisting o1 Samuel Cohen, Dr.

Pulvermacher, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Lieben, Mr. Altman and Mr. Ascher as honorary members.

Mr. Mollenhauer said yesterday con- Lillian Voss. Brooklyn Pianist in Europe.

cerning the foundation of Miss Voss' skill under his tuition: "Miss studied with me for a number of years. Her progress was phenomenal. At an early age she played the piano score of Cesar Franck's extremely difficult "Sonate," for piano and violin, before a gathering of renowned New York pianists. They joined with me in the opinion that she had a most remarkable future." Mr. Mollenhauer added: then predicted for Miss Voss that she would become one of the greatest, it not the greatest, living woman pianist the world has ever heard, if she should be sent to study with some great master in Europe, where she would be in a musical At Mr.

Mollenhauer's suggestion, Miss Voss was sent by her father to Xaver Scharwenka, court pianist to the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, royal Prussian professor and member and senator of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. Miss Voss has continuously had Scharwenka's personal instruction and studying with him for the third is now year.

Patchogue, Rowse, an Ocean avenue merchant, was the most surprised man in town yesterwhen an apparent stranger came into day, his store and entered into negotiations for the purchase of a bicycle.

When a youngster, Angus Rowse left his home in Brooklyn to seek his fortune in the West. He was employed for some years as a cow- puncher on a Western ranch, and finally settled In business near Denver, Col.

He met several of them in New York and Brooklyn, and finally came out to Patchogue yesterday to pay his respects to another brother, Herbert. FERRYBOAT DECISION STANDS.

Municipal Craft May Not Carry plosives Without Federal Authority. Word was received at the United States District Attorney's office today from Solicitor General F. W. Lehman, in Washington, that the United States Supreme Court had refused to grant Corporation Counsel Watson of New York City al writ of certiorari to review the decision of the United States Circut Court of Appeals that municipal ferryboats may not carry petroleum and other explosives under toll rates unless the city has first got permission from the Government steamboat inspectors. This final decision in this matter comes at the end of two years of Federal litigation, and applies to municipal craft not only in this city, but in cities all over the country.

Colonel William J. Youngs of this Federal district was the first United States attorney to bring this question up. YOUNG BRIDE SEEKS FREEDOM Says Youthful Husband Had a Wife When He Married Her.
