WARRANT FOR PREACHER FOR MURDER OF PRIEST Crime Believed Committed Because Daughter Leaned to Catho- lic Church. By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 13.— A warrant charging murder was sworn out today by Coroner Russum against Edwin R. Stephenson, barber nd_ preacher, who shot and killed Father James E. Coyle, rector of St. Paul's Church, late Thursday. T coroner announced a verdict of “un- lawful homicide,” following an inves- tigation yesterday. The slaying of Father Coyle, inquiry developed, was the outgrowth of Stephenson’s troubled 'mind because his daughter, Ruth Stephenson, had become a_communicant of the Catho- lic Church. The priest was slain a few hours after he had performed the marriage ceremony which united his daughter and Piedro Gussman, a Catholic. The daughter has refused to lend assistance to her father, or see him, members of the famiiy stat- ed. The girl has not returned to the ‘| parental roof since the killing, it was stated, members of the family declar- ing they believed she and Gussman had left the city. § A great outpourng of people, em. bracing all classes and creeds, attend- ed solemn pontifical requiem mass for Father Coyle at St. Paul's this morn- ing, the Rt. Rev. E. P. Allen, Bishop of the Diocese of Mobile, officiating, assisted by the clergy from many cities.

BUENOS AIRES, August 13.—After nearly a week of heated political dis- cussion in the lobbies of the congres- sional building the Argentine con- gressional deadlock was broken yves- terday by agreement of the radical deputies to discuss the message of President Yrigoyen, sent to congress st week, relative to the homestead law Sessions in the chamber, which have been interrupted because of the lack of a quorum, were resumed when the socialists and conservatives agreed to return following the de- cision to discuss the presidential mes- sage. (The congressional deadlock grew out of a recent demand on President Yrigoyen by a majority of congress for an explanation of his failure to apply certain provisions of the home- stead law enacted last year. Last week the president replied to this de- mand in a sharp message that he did not recognize the right ot congress to question his motive for not carry- ing out the law.)
