CJrics, sharped with assault and battery on the minister," was, sentenced t IS dayair An informal request by the bastor ta Suspend the Jail sentence retulted In a Busnenslen ef 14 days of- (he term. Judge Ekwali said, tn partially grant ing tne pastor s, pies, jot leniency,- utu Mrs. Grice would -be benefited by a rood look; at the Inside of the city fjuL" '.- Testimony showed two cliques with in the church, one backing the pastor and the other- supporting tha ousted trustees. pLCMVS ABE STECCIC ' ine nri witness was r ran iiugncs, a member of (he Mount Olivet flock, i "I saw Mrs. Grice hit Brother An- (erson, and then the sister was hit by he pastor, "Hughes explained. "Then Sister Grice made a pass at the paste? ith a little tool that was either one f f these things you use in cutting corns r picking nuts, I don't know which." E Sheldon Grice, husband of the ac cused woman, testified he arrived Qfv the scene too late to see much of the fray. i Mrs. Dolly Parr is, the immediate eause of the battle between Mrs. Grice p.nd Anderson, was the chief witness for the defense. She related that the pispute was over statements made by the pastor that fhs was net a "fit" Member to be in the choir. She and Mrs. Grice confronted the pastor with the statements' immediately after the Sunday night services, she said, and the battle started. f Mcs. Grice, on the stand, declared she did not strike at the minister until tie made a pass at her, SfTAII, FILE WEAPOlf; . , Her weapon was a nail file, she de clared, and she produced one from her purse as evidence. Mrs. Grlce's te.sti--enony bore out that of former witnesses (n most details. " r The star witness of the whole hear ing was Mrs. C. II. Bin ford, an elderly negro woman of the type called a untie" in the South. : Instead of giving the usual "I do" after having; been sworn in by the judge, she replied In broad Southern pegro dialect, "I always tells the truth" and I always will, so help me God." ; When told to sit down In the 'witness chair, she snapped back, "I don't want S chair; I can't talk sitting down." " "Sistsr Grice came Out of the church door and walked up to the reverend. she testified. "They began to talk, and, the reverend called Sister Grice a liar. -.' - v "Then I said. "Reverend, where's yeur conduct? '.Then they began to fight and I ir'ed to stop them. Somebody ran up ber hind me and said for roe to go and sit down.: And I said T can't sit down In the middle ef the street.'! , "What did Mrs. Grice Jiave in her hand?" an attorney asked the witness . "pood Lord, man., ens was goin' like a -wheel-horse 6a a:flr wagon, and I couldn't see." .. - 8EYEX ABE DISMISSED i Mrs. Binford's testimony concluded that of the assault case, and the seven members of the :? Mt. Olivet flock charged with disorderly conduct at the meeting preceding the fray were placed on the stand. All of the seven were de-i clared not guilty by the Judge, and the eases were dismissed. Dave Heburn, a member ef the ousted hoard and said by the pastor to be' the Chief trouble maker, testified that his conduct at the Sunday night services . and all others, hi fact, has been noth ing short of saintly. Rev. W. Anderson, the chief witness for the prosecution, was called on the stand half a dozen times. ; "The church records show, he said, "that a board of trustees must be ap pointed by ma and confirmed by the Liuuuic. nooo iuuB uwt mm m uviw body and elected a board without my having anything to say about It, which Isn't according to the hooks.
