This declaration was made Sunday night by
Miss Sallie Wllltams of Kansas City a good
looking 'oung'mulatto woman , as rho stood
In front of the pUlpit In the Zion Colored
Daptlst church 2207 Grant street , holding
a wee bit of a baby In her outstretched
, arms and accusing the s minister . Hev. H. T.
Hoffman wIth being the cause of her 1I0wn-
fall. The evening sermon had just been fin- :
hihell allli the colored divine was stalllllng 111 :
t his pulpit , ready to announce the ' closing ! ,
hymn , when the young woman arose In the
rear of the crowded church , and amidst the .
greatest confusion and excitement , made the
atartllng charge against the ' popular parson
of the congregation.
The congregation , after the hysterical
young woman had : been led to a seat called
for an explanation from Hev. Mr.
Hoffman , who emphatically denied
the serious charg and asked that
nn Immelliate Investigation be made.
Before quiet had been restored some
dozen persons , who were violently opposed
to , tba calling of Hev. Hoffman to this mia-
eton , which occurred some two months ago ,
arose and began to hurl all kllllis of abuse
at the minister , and for a few minutes the
aspect of the two church factions looked riot-
ous and the service broke UII In great dls
order amid a passage of arms between the
/ two factions. Hev. David Phelps of Omaha
Is the preacher who was supported by eleven
members of this parish at the meeting In
May , but he was outvoted by some thirty
majority and "Dr. " Hoffman was called from
1 Kansas City to minister to the spiritual
i wants of Zion's big flock of worshhlers.
Trouble has been brewing ever since allli the
feeling has been of thu most unfrlenllly
nature and outbreaks have been of frequent
. occurrence
. hOFFMAN ENTERS A DENIAL.
a % Rev Mr. Hoffman said : "Thesc
charges have been made against
mo at the Instigation of those
at this congregation who opposed my
appointment here and were devised for the
sole purpose of ruining any character and
blasting my rt'IJUtation. I know this young
woman has been induced to come Into our
place of worship and make the sensational
charges that she did just to gIve me news-
paper notorlett' and to ruin me In this COI11-
munlty. They will be sorry for their defamatory -
amatory acts , too. It has only been a month
or so ago sInce Sallie Williams was carry-
log a loaded revolver around In her pocket
In Iansu City , . . where she made pastor
she would kill evCe Peter Jackson , Ilastor
of the Mount SinaI church of that
city. When she found that
he could not be frightened , she dropped the
matter. She and her mother have Intimate
friends among the dissatisfied memlllrs of my
a charge and they have brought this girl here
W for the purpose of vilifying me and making
this awful charge against me. The whole
thing was prearranged. The girl and her
mother arrived from Kansas City Saturday
night at 6 o'clock and were met at the
depot by friends. The girl. when
she entered my church , took a
rear sut and waited for the time between
the sermon and the last hymn before creat-
lag a .enutlon. lIer mother first came up

her to sit down , whIch she did , and then the
girl ran screaming up the able , making a
show of herself and bringing the entire
audience to Its feet. Quiet couU not be
secured and I was powerless to make the
violent disturbers pay any heed to my re-
monstrances and I left the church In com-
pany with the deacons and others and went
to lilY home. I told them to call a meeting
at once and Investigate the charges so as to'
clear my good name. "
The congregation will hold a meeting this
week to determine the truthfulness of the
charge made by the woman.

wrought np over the dramatic scene enacted

opinion Is that It was a plot of those nn-

prefer legal charges against the preacher and
have the matter settled In the courts

Case Nut AI1t1cllllltc"
Il Is understood at the legal headquarters
of the city that an early decision -
ch'lon of the Jefferson square case Is not
looked for. There Is a likelihood that this
suit will not be heard before the next term
of the supreme court instead of at the Sep-
tember term , which convenes toclay.
The controversy arlses.ln the nature of an
Injunction , the aim of which Is to prevent
the use of $200,000 worth of bonds is the
ereetLon of a city market-house on Jefferson
square Park Commlsl'loner Tnkey , for him-
self and others fights the purpose expressed
by the city council for appropriating this
square for such UBe. The city Is placed In'
the attitude of claiming It has the right to
change the use of the land from that : of a
public park to a meat and vegetable vending

was the test suit .cf Tom .Wagner against the

morning for further arguments and the tlee- !
son ! was handed down at their eoncuslcn. !
It appears that the city charter was loaded : :
with a provision empowering the clerk of the
polc ! court to Issue warrants . PrevfoJs to
the passage of this provisIon It had been often
a. mooted question.of li1w In tw : cur s
whether or not the clerk could exercise such
a unction. This contentJDn'was made on the
theory that the judge : alene' contltu ! the

With the bringing of , the habeas corpus
case of Wagner the whole field was opened
In a different quarter Attorney for the
prisoner took the position that the arrest
of his client was Illegal and void on two
grounds ; first , because the clerk hall no authority -
thority to sign a warrant , and second be-
caure the warrant did not show that the
offense was committed In the city of Omaha.
The warrant Is a prInted form and recites In
each case that Eo-and-so ( naming the cul-
prit ) did on a certain day commit the particular -
ular offense In the county of Douglas. It
further states that information : of this
beIng the case has come to the police judge ,
but the warrants are signed , and endorsed \ by'
Joseph Michael , clerk of the police court.
It was under such an Instrument that :
Wagner was arrested September 3 for having .
Ing too fondly embraced two young girls
with whom he was going home , The trial
resulted In a. fine of $15 , In default of which
Wagner wend to Jail
The criminal judge held that the provision
In the city charter giving Michael the right
as clerk of the police court to Issue warrants
was unconstitutional null and void , "for the
reason that It requires the exercise of a ju-
dicial determination which can only be exercised .
erelsed by the court. " The printed ! I\lanlls

committed In the county , and not the city , liS
