Oct. 1.—William Marion Embler and wife, Charles Clemmons and Lewis Ramson, the last a negro, were held for trial on a charge of manslaughter following the returning of a true bill by the grand jury today in which it is charged that through their refusal to allow physicians to attend 10-year-old Ezra Embler they were responsible for the child's death following a long siege of typhoid fever.Allegations made by officers are to the effort that (»hey depended on prayer to cure the lt;hild and kept physicians from the boy’s bedside. Their prayers were continuous by day and night: hut the little fellow died.Bonds for the appearance of the four defendants at the next term of Superior Court were named in the sum of $500 and the three white defendants furnished bail, while the negro went to jail. He refused to employ an attorney, statins that he will depend on prayer to save him. The white people, however, employed counsel.It is charged that a nurse who was sent to attend the child by the county was unable to perform her work and protect her patient by reason of the loud and boisterous praying or the members of the sect and Anally was driven from the house when she demanded that the prayers be less noisy. The conversion of the four to the strange creed followed an open-air meeting conducted by a visiting minister who based his hope in the future and his protection in the present on prayer.One ii(insson'toteE v enewescost oseasorprofusof theincomand e troupigravitdeath-Of that tialists f the uVHB dtguardthose executw i t h age p When by pr«dangeTtuexhihiurdayeniug,time ihe affthis v ever, f eat ur these nor mhare i tors a result gram originline.the Itday aBetat the grouti/loath ’ The gtars go clow nSelect
