LONG TRAIL DEBTS
New York, May 20.—In a remarkable
statement exonerating his brother, H.
Allen Tupper, from any connection with
his oxtenslvo borrowing, tho Rev. Kerr
Boyce Tupper, the former pastor of the
Madison Avenus Baptist church, who
has left the etty with a trail of debts
behind him, practically makts a con
fession to the charges against hJm.
The letter confirms stories to the ef
fects that the pastor borrowed .large
sums of money from his parlahonen.
HI* scheme was to borrow from one
to pay the other, and, Incidentally, to
carry himself on paper by drawing
from one account to the othsr. And
all the time he fully expected that the
day would come when he might make
good, but It did not. Instead, the
church became disgusted and disgrun
tled, and than came the crash. Dr.
Tupper Is supposed to be In Pittsburg.
