Young Minister Harris Faces Undue Intimacy Charge in Montana
Bozeman reports Rev Barr Harris of the Methodist church South went before a three member committee on a charge of unduly intimate conduct with Miss Fannie M. Shulse, daughter of Rev J. M. Shulse. Miss Shulse initially testified of strong affection then intensified the claim. Harris, about 20, from Alabama, denied all statements and produced evidence contradicting a key location. The hearing also reviewed Shulse and Miss Shulse’s standing, with the minister’s side arguing the accusations arose from enforcing propriety at his home. The case drew wide interest as a potential precedent in Montana and beyond.
