Charges Against Trinity
Rector Dropped.
CASE CAUSES TROUBLE
Decision to End Litigation Made
in Effort to Again Secure
Harmony in Diocese. U
i
There will be no rehearing of the
contentious lawsuit brought by the
Episcopal diocese of Oregon against
Dr. A. A. Morrison some time ago.
Although a petition for that pur
pose was filed with the supreme
court at Salem Monday, the board
of school trustees, representing the
diocese, met yesterday and decided
to drop the whole thing. This writes
finis to what was, perhaps, the
most sensational piece of litigation
in church circles the state ever
knew.
In the suit directed against Dr.
Morrison breach of trust was
charged. '
Dr. Morrison, tried in the" state
courts, was cleared of any improper
acts in connection with the purchase
of a proposed site for the old Bishop
Scott academy in" Yamhill county,
the transaction involving a profit
to himself as agent in handling the
deal.
Pecfnlon Is Appealed.
Officers of the diocese, still un
convinced, appealed the decision to
tha supreme court, where Judge
W. N. Gatens of the lower court
was sustained and his opinion re
affirmed. There the matter rested for two
weeks. Last Monday was the last
day upon which a petition for a
rehearing in the supreme court
could be sought legally. It was cn
that day that C. E. Cochran, coun
sel for the board of school trustees,
filed his petition for a rehearing.
Yesterday, however, the trustees de
cided to pursue Dr. Morrison no
farther and to make an end of the
litigation.
That the case stirred up no end
of trouble in the diocese was evi
dent when it was called to trial.
Members of the Episcopal clergy and
laymen aligned themselves with Dr.
Morrison and against Bishop Sum
ner, chairman of the board, or with
the bishop and against the rector.
A breach was made In the church
that would, it was patent, be long
in healing.
Move for Harmony Made. ,
This consideration, it is believed,
moved the trustees to strive for a
return to harmony in church ranks.
The board of school trustees di
rected its counsel to take no further
action in prosecution of the litiga
tion that has been pending for years
in the courts, and bowed to the
edict of the supreme court in its
decision of the case.
Only the most formal announce
ment of the decision was made pub
lic yesterday following the action
of the trustees. Attorney Cochran
issued the following statement:
"I have been directed by the board
of school trustees to regard the re
cent opinion of the supreme court in
the case of board of school trustees,
versus A. A. Morrison as final, with
out advocating the usual petition
for rehearing which the rules of the
court and accepted procedure in all
litigation before that court permits.
The time within which such petition
could be filed expired December 11.
1022, and within that time 1 filed a
petition for rehearing, calling the
court's attention to some questions
apparent upon the record which the
court had evidently overlooked in
its opinion. A dec'sion on this peti
tion will not be requested, and pur
suant to the hoard's wishes I have
asked the supreme court for an
order withdrawing same. This will
bring to a close a species of litiga
tion to which the attention of the
public has been attracted to a more
or less degree and will finally dis
pose of the case.
"The board in taking this action
feels that the expression of the su
preme court affords opportunity to
bring to a close a matter which has
for some time been a more or less
d'sturbins element in the diocese."
