J. i-ruuuir., t. wn,r Treasurer, HISTORY Of HOLEY Holy Rollerism, as taught by "Joshau" I Creffield, had its inceptkn at Corvallia, Ore., in the spring of 1903. Creffield neld campmeetings 4 oocoeedod in gut ting a group of followers at once. Previous to this b had been a Salva- uoa Army worker. He was born in Germany and was a deserter from the Uermanarmy. Unto night of January 4, 1904, hi fanatical teachings had gone to such lengths that indignant fathers end hut bands of Corvaiiis women took him out nd gave hir. a coat o. tar and liUir. i nay gave eimuar tratmen( to oo ot his male followers, C Brooks. The men were warned mat they woid be killed snouid 4.ney ever return to Corvallia. Tne nexi day Creffiolo returned covert ly and was secreted oy tne Hurt women under the floor of tbeir borne, tier he dispensed w.tn tits clothing, proclaimed1 himself a nrrtrthpt nf Oirl r,8 rarrir1 no nis revoi'jng orgies in tbe name of relig ion. -July 28, 1 904. Creffkid'a hiding place -became Mnon ana e was taken out and out in jaiL In uie tnaa time, Esther Mitchell, be--cauMt oi nis induence oer her, had been sent to the Boys' and Girls' society. After being kept their a few weeks, she was sent to her fatoer's borne in Illinois. She was not permitted to return to Oregon until Cremeio wassent totne penitentiary. Other women, including Mrs. O. V, Hurt, Mae hurt and Maud Hurt, were sent to the uisas aasylum for a abort time be cause of Creibeld'e influence over them while he was secreted .under tbe Hurt residence. Creffield, a few .days after his discov ery, was hi ought to Portland and tried on a statutory coacge preferred by Bur gess E. Starr, bus band of uiitcoeii's eld est sister, a Creffield victim. In August, Creffield was .found .guilty. He refused to have a lawyer and tried to clear himself reading passages from the Bible. Wfleo found .guilty ha mad no effort to secure leniency, simply stating that, like Christ, he was misunderstood. Soon after Creffield went to prison, his wife, Maud Hurt Crefheld, secured divorce. There were no .further Holy Roller demonstrations, and aeamingly the dangerous cult was broken up. Early in February of 1906, -Cremeld'e sentence was commuted by .good behavior, and he left the state prison, goinjg to California. From there oe gal in correspondence witn his former wue, wns had remained with her father O. V. Hurt at Corvallia. A reconciliation was eitectad. Creffield returned to tne vicinity ot Corvallia and .got a number of women and on man Frank Hurt, tog j u a lonely spot oo the .beach in Lincoin county. His purpose was to found a Holy Roller colony. H made particular efforts to secure Esther Mitchell to his keeping, saying she was to .be the mother of a second Christ, who was to be born to the world. Late in April of this year, Mitchell, after being released from the Good Sam aritan hospital in Portland, where he had been .confined with an attack of measele, .declared to close friends his intention of killing Creffield. He told several persons Hod had told him to remove the Holy I Roller. from the earth for ruining his sis ters. About May 1 Mitchell went to Albany in search of Creffield. While there he saw Maud Hurt Creffield, and by following her learned that Creffield was in Seattle. The Holy Roller prophet hadone there supposedly for the pur pose of raising funds or the camp on the .coast. May J, early in the morning Creffield and Maud Hurt .Creffield. whom he had remarried, started down town to do om shopping. A they passed down First avenue. Mitchell stepped suddenly behind Creffield and shot him dead. Ester Mitchell at one denounced the act, and seemed to car nothing as to the fate of her brother. She maintained this attitude throughout his trial. July 10, after being pn trial for 21 days. Mitchell was acquitted by a jury in the superior court, after an hour and 25 mi iute of deliberation. July 1 1. about 4 o'clock in the after noon, Esther Mitchell, at the instignation of the widow of Holy Roller Creffield, treacherously shot and killed her brother George in the depot at Seattle. fVIDtflCt CHANGES JURISDICTION (Scrlpps New Association) Cleveland Ohio, July 1 7 The District Attorney this morning issued a statement saying he and Moody, while in New York had reviewed the evidence obtained here and concluded the testimony fixed the jur isdiction elsewhere.
