BARNWELL IS HUMILIATED “Tell Even-tiling Behind It,” Advise^ Pastor’s Son. "He offered my wife fifty cents for a kin," nld C. A. London. Indignantly. "He told me there was no harm In it when 1 repulsed him," said Mrs. Lon don. “1 am deeply humiliated. I do not care te discuss It," said Mr. Barnwell. •'Go ahead and tell everything that Is behind this, papa." said Mr. Barnwell'* son, a boy of eighteen. The parties In the affair which leJ to the dismissal from his pastorate of Rev. a. L. Barnwell, pastor of the Edgewood Baptist church, on the charge of kissing or attempting to kin the pretty wife of his Sunday school superintendent, discussed the circum stances Friday night. From Mr. Lon don there came little but expressions - of sympathy for the deposed pastor. From Mrs. London them was Indigna tion. Mr. Barnwell «eemfd heart broken. The Husband’s Statement. 'It was not my Intention," said Mr. London, "to talk about this unfortunate affair, but since an Incorrect report has been printed, and since I have been misquoted, I feel that the public Is en titled to a correct statement In justice to my wife and family." Mr. London confirmed what Mr. Barnwell said In some respects. He declared the preacher had not kissed his wife—that he had only attempted to do so. "Either his cheek.” spoke up Mrs. London, “or his lips—I cannot remem ber which—touched my cheek or neck. I repulsed his effort with Indignation. He told me there was no harm In It and said he had fifty cents In his pock et for me If I would just give him one kiss." Mrs. London Indignant. While Mr. London seemed to con- elder the thing closed, not so with his wife. At every mention of the pastor's act. her eyes brightened, her lips set In a firm line and she tossed her wealth of raven hair In Indignation. "Yes, he seemed repentant," broke in Mrs. London, "but I think he waantore sorry at losing his job than In what he did." It was three weeks ago that this nt tempt to kiss the pretty wife.of the Sunday school superintendent on the part or tho pastor was made. At that time Mr. London was In Knoxville. Tenn.. on business, and It was not until n week ago that he learned of the ex perience his wife had suffered. Then he had It from her own lips. "Mrs. London told me a little at n time," said Mr. London. "She knew If the wholo truth was given to me at once, 1 would not be accountable fur myself. She didn't want me to get killed and she didn't want me to huvn the blood of another man on my hands. Went For the Pastor. ."But the more I thought about It, the more Ir — mint I became. My grief was * tinted by Indignation. I wanted to do something. 1 left home at in o'clock last Sunday night and called on ths pastor. I got hint up out of bed and told him to coma with me to my home. I didn't use any threats— neither did I have my pistol. 1 left that at home In my trunk. " 'Barnwell,' said I, 'there’s been some things going on In my home while I have been away that 1 want you and my wife to explain face to face.’ Bo he came with me and sat facing my wife. 1 then had tliem'go over the oc currence of that afternoon. I wnnt It dtetlnctly understood thst the pastor never called at my home at night. "Then I heard the whole story. I heard ths pastor admit he had at tempted to kies my wife, and I heard from hint how my wife had repulsed him and begged him to desist In his efforts." Quoted the Bible. After the meeting Mr. Ikmdon had a converaatlon with Rev. Barnwell and the two Gill brothers, one of whom hud been chairman of the meeting. At that conference, Mr. London says, Mr. Barnwell aald David hod done worse than he dld> and yet David was loved by Om “I didn't like the Idea of his trying to excuse hie conduct," said Mr. Lon don. "by comparing himself to David. It It true that David did wrong, but that was no excuse for Kev. Barnwell coming Into m.v home and attempting to take that which is dearer to me than all the world.” Mr. Barnwell waa seen by a Geor gian reporter and his son, n tine look ing lad of about 18 years, was present at the Interview. The preacher was bowed down with grief, and waa repentant. The aon was Indignant that all tbla trouble -should have been brought on his father.

L. Barnwell was dropped from Edgowood Baptist Church.
