THE CHARGES AGAINST Kev. UaiEL GRAVES.—At the ve partie ee of the Mary- land Lutheran synod at Washington, D. C., October 9, the counsel in the case of Rey. Uriel Graves, formerly pasto® of the Third English Lutheran churen of Baltimore, and now of St. Joho’s Lutheran church, were an- thorized to appoint a committees to adjadi- cate the matter of charges against Mr, Graves of unclerical conduct, schism and contuma: y. This committee was to consist of five ordained ministers and four laymen. The counsel in the case were Rev. Drs. Bar- clay and Stork, of Baltimore, for the prose- cution, and ~ Dra. Diehl, of erick, and Owen, of Hagerstown, for the defence. Since the adjournment of the synod counsel have been in Gorrespondence with each other the selection of & committee, in Hy oe to but have failed to agree upon nize men. counsel for the prose- cution claim that the instructions from the synod were that the trial should continue in Baltimore, and also claim that wit. nesses could not be induced ani certainly have been made to the mes named for the committee on the and & lelter has been written by the counsel for the tion to the counsel for the de- fense, setting forth their fiual decision in the matter, The counsel on each side were to bave equal voice in the selection of the com- mittee of adjudication. Should the counsel for the defense decline to agree to the Le sitions offered in the letter, it is believed that the committee will go by default, and the trial on the charges already preferred Will be postponed to the next annual session of the synod. Should this be the case it is understood that the counsel for the prosecu- ton will bring up new charges, based upom™ what they claim is pew and additional evi- dence against Mr. Graves, and will apply to the president of the synod, Rev. Dr. Jonn G. Morris, of Baltimore, for @ committee to try the new charges preferred. Should this be the case it cepa the same counsel wili act as heretofore — [ Bait.
