In the recent experience of the Rev. U. G. Sutherlin however, he has been cither greatly persecuted or his sins are rapidly finding him out. He has been charged with two awful crimes and the fact that be is a preacher, one above All others who should conduct himself circumspectly And in accordance with the doctrine and religion he preaches—makes the charges all the more sensational.Rev. Hutherlin was arrested last week at his home in Silver Grove by Polica Sergeant A. IX Neafus on a paternity charge preferred by Anoa Adelia Moore, who had been employed as a domestic at the home of the preacher before the suicide of his wife in 1904 and afterward. Mr. Sutherlin was arraigned before Magistrate Fogle, entered a plea of not guilty and was released on bond lor his appearance to answer today, his father, (’harles Sutherlin, becoming his surety.In her complaint the woman charged that Mr. Sutherlin was the father of a girl baby born to her December 5,11)05. at Hot Springs, Ark. This child, she says, she placed in the All-Prayer Foundlings1 Home in Louisville the first week in January. She savs that she went to Hot •Springs last October, her expenses being paid, she claimed, by the Rev. Mr. Sutherlin, who had paid out, she asserted, about $175. This assertion, she saidst they iBhe would repeat under oath at the trial.1 \1 f a6 \f AAVn n*AO An imriAhtaM tth ways1 go on. m any-a is oneind herwriting adver-read a 10m* of cs, but re real price is e pub-y.Pbib-enville is been imencMiss Moore was an important witness for the prosecution in the case of the State of Indiana against the Rev. Sutherlin for the alleged murder of his wife, Mrs. Geneva L. Sutherlin. At the January term of the Floyd Circuit Court she could not be found, it was alleged, and on this account a continuance until the March term was asked for by the prosecution, other reasons for the motion for continuance being that several witnesses, women living in Silver Grove, were unable to be present to testify.Anna Moore ia the daughter of John Moore, a farmer living in Lafayette township. Her whereabouts was aacei-tained by Col. Jacob Haager, who wss acting for Mra.

Haager was assisted in the work by John Shutt, formerly chief of police of thia city.Rev. Mr. 8otberlin after he bad ap-ang#r9| peared in the Magistrate's court declared that the allegations made by the woman in the affidavit were untrue, and that he had in his poaeseaion a written etatement signed by' her to the effect that no improper relations had ever existed between them. Just why be shonld have exacted this statement of Miss Moore, however, if he was not guilty and if be was in no wise responsible is not just exactly clear and yet he may have bad reasons for demanding it.The paternity suit brought against I him, be declsred, was the work of the I prosecution, who wss doing it for the ||g^ I purpose of injaring him in the esse to gggp I be tried next month in the Circuit BBS I Court, when be wilt answer to the charge HV | of having murdered his wife.
