Childrey, pastor ef the First 'Uaptlst Church. Hnddonneld, N. J.. Bll0t bv n ntro 1'lBhwnyman on the Whlto Horse pike, near Camden, died early today In Cooper Hospital, Camden, Tho clergyman, who was on his way to'pcrform a wedding ceremony, was shot In the breast during n strusulo with the foptpad. Had ho left n trolley car at n "stop" 200 yards farther along the Had don avenuo line, ho probably would be ,Hvo today. Tho bridegroom was wait ing for him to conduct him to the liouse. Ono arrest of a suspect was made today Willie detectives nnd pollco are scouring Camden County today. Mrs. Childrey. the paitor's wife, lies gravely 111 at tho Woman's Hospital, this city, with a week old baby. Tho shooting occurred at one of the darkest nnd loneliest spots on the While Horse pike, at City Una nvenue. Just In side Colllngswood. According to the story told before his death to I'roseculor Kraft the pastor hnd left his player meeting scr' ce to perform the wedding ccremonv. ue left the trolley car at Haddon and City line avenues to tako a "short cut" on foot to Woodlynne, where the marriage party awaited, As he was walking briskly along the highway for It was almost !) o'clock and he was late he was nrcosted by n negro. who showed a pistol. The man demanded money. The pastor gave him nil he hnd $2.S nnd his watch. This did not satisfy the bandit. Ho inlsed his gun, demanding wore. "Why do you -want to kill me?" asked the pastor. With tho question he struck the high wayman nnd grappled with him. Tho negro, a burly built fellow, tore himself loose nnd fired. He thn sprang upon the minister, hurled him into a gully nnd, after examining every pocket, lied. The shot did not attract nttentlon. for motorcar tiro "blowouts" are frequent along tho pike. But moans from the wounded minister nttractfd Severn Tyler, of Col llngswood, nnd Paul C. Uryant. of Haddon ficld, who wrro pnsslng in an automobile. The latter Is a member of the First Uap tlst congregation. Bryant called out. The minister recog nised his voice. "Is that you, Paul?" he asked. "I have been shot." "Why. It I 'Dad'l" exclaimed Bryant, using the name by which the pastor Is known to hla congregation. The P.ev. Mr. Childrey gasped out the story of what had happened. His first thought was of his wife. "Don't tell her of this, because It would kill her," he urged nnd then lapsed into Unconsciousness. While a majority of thoe who had driven Up organized Vi posse to search for the foot pad, the RevMr. Childrey was hurried to the hopltal hi Mr. Tyler's automobile. An Immediate probe for tho bullet was begun, but the pastor died shortly after 3 o'clock this morning. The bullet had ranged up ward and lodged In the left breast, near the heart. The pastor described his assailant as being about five feet ten Inches tall, weigh ing nbout 160-70 pounds nnd wearing a cap or soft hat and short dark coat. A negro. Hezcktah Allen, thirty-four years eld, 231 Cherry street. Camden, was ar rested at tho Cooper Hospital early today and Is belngheld for examination He ap plied for treatment of a slashed wrist and was arrested because of suspicious answers to questions. Chief of Police Schregler doubts whether the man can be connected with the shooting. Another negro, possibly the man wanted, passed Policeman .Tack Crosley, of Callings vi'ood, nbout half an hour after the shooting half a mllo from the scene. Crosley had not heard of the hold-up. Four unexploded shcils were found In the road where the .pastor was shot. They were of thirty-eight caliber, the slzo of the revolver used by the negro. The marrjage at which the lie v. Mr. Chlldcey Intended to offlclato was that of Franklin H. Roberts, sixty-two years old, of Hadrtonflo!d nnd Mrs. Anna Kllzabeth Dunthey, fifty-seven years old. a widow, of Marlton, X. J. They were to have been married at tho home of Leslie Reeves. 204 Evergreen avenue, Woodlynne, at 8:30 o'clock, , hut the ceremony was not per formed until an hour nnd a half later, when the Rev. Harry P. Grim, pastor of the Marshall Memorial Icthodlst Church. Woodlynne. was called in. Roberts waited In vain nt City L.lne and Haddon nenues for the Rev. Mr. Childrey, and then le turned to the house. Some time later word of an accident to the minister reached tho house. The Rev.
