PREACHER DENIES WOMEN’S CHARGES Declares That He Did Not Kiss Her or Act in Improper Manner

Dennisvllie, July 1 Allegations of unbecoming conduct msde by Mrs. Elmira Bcull, wife of a farmer, against the Rev- Nicholas V. Cosaaboon, pastor ot the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Dennisville and Bo nth Dennis, are not likely to be the subject of further Investigation by the church authorities. On three separate occasions, Mrs. Scull declares, Mr. Cossaboon made proposals to her which caused her to request him to leave her home. The Rev. N. J. Aright, superiotendat of the Bridgeton district of the Methodist Episcopal Church, said tonight that the matter had not been brought to his attention offlically and be did not vxpecj that it would. "Unless the affair assumes s more erions phase," declared Mr. Wright, I will take no actinn. I understand that the Boards of Stewards have paid no alien lion to the womans assertions, deeming them without foundation. No charges have been made and the stewards attach no significance to Mrs. Scull's statement*. The stewards will stand by the pastor.” Stewards of the two churches were to have held a joint meeting last night In Denniaville, at which it waa expected accuser and accused would meet face to face. The three church officers from South Dennis did not attend. Their brethren informed Mr. Cossaboon that they would take no action, at least for the present. At this moment Mrs. Scull stepped up and grabbing the pastor by the ilstoeve exclaimed: "Mr. Loess boon, I hear you deny that you misbehaved at my house?” “I d.>,” replied the minister. “You deny that you Insulted me?" “Yes.”

Well, you may deny it before theee ■Uemen," raid the woman, "but you cannot deny It to your Maker." Mr. Scull, who stood by hla wife, said after her colloquy with the preacher: Recalled at my bouae the first time, the Friday after Decoration Day. He said aomeJUng then that my wife ted and twice after that he visited her and raid things he ahoudn't aay. If I could have met him,alone when told me about it, I would have trounced him." Mr. Caeaaboon, after the meeting, lid: “Nobody wbo knows me believes
