Rev. Harry F. Henry, ‘the Raiding
Parson,” of the local M. E. Church,

the past week-end by the city news-
papers on account of the guard that
is doing duty at the church. Due to
many threatening letters received by
the local pastor it was decided to
place a guard to help protect the lives
of the minister's family and the church
property. It is reported that one
suspect was picked up by Chief of Po-
lice Avery one day last week when he
mas overtaken by the guard while in
the act of looking through the win-
dows of the parsonage. The victim
got away from the guard, Mr. Ander-
son, and drove off in a machine to-
wards Huntsville. He was chased by
the local police officer and was turned
over to the state police for investiga-
tion. Up until last Friday the pris-
oner was still confined to the barracks.
