TRIED TO TEAR OFF ROBES. Ushers Dragged Her from Chancel Rail as She Climbed Pulpit—Ae- sistant Rector Says She Is Insane and Has Threatened His Life. ‘The Tey. 3. W, Henkel, asststant rector of the fashlonadle St. Andrew's Church, at Fifth avenue and One Hun- dred and Twen had a summons issued to-day In Harlem Court for Robert Morrison, of No, 233 One Hundred and Twenty-second street, to come into court and show why his wife should not be restrained, Mrs. Morrison is the woman who tried to climb upon the altar of St Andrew's Church in an effort to teas the priestly robes from the Rev H Kettle, who was occupying the pulpit. Mr. Morrison appexred before Magis- trate Meade and refused to produce his wife or take any action. A subpoena therefore, was issued for Mrs. Morréson. and she will be “examined as to her sanity. Dr. Henke! went to-day to Magistrate Zeller and asked that Mrs, Morrison be taken*to court with a view to having her restrained. The Judge referred him to Magistrate Meade, who {ssued tha summons for Mr. Morrison, and sald that If the ‘husband declined to act the only alternative was to have the women arrested and examined, ‘Mrs. Morrison {s {nsane," kel sald to-day, ‘ placed where she cannot harm any one. She has been making all sorts of trouble fn the congregation for about a year, Dut no one felt Ike taking any drastic action, Threatencd to KIM Him, “She has threatened to kill me and to throw acid on several prominent mem- bers of the congregation, who, she claims, are persecuting her, She has repeatedly threatened to harm Miss Jessie Hixon, the President of the King's Daughters, who has appealed to Mr. Morrison for protection. It seoms to me that the thing has gone far enough. Miss Hixon, whose home {s at No, 116 East One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street, is also indignant. She sald: “I have known Mrs. Morrison for eighteen years, She went to live in Col- lege Point some years ago, and on her return to this city two years ago I no- tloed she acted queerly, She has been a great annoyance to myself and other members of the church. She is vio- lently insane and has called at my office two or three times a week, and on each occasion has threatened some member of the church. One of her halluctna- tions is that she is the daughter of the late Bishoo Littlejohn, and that he left her a fortune with which she built the Garden City Cathedral. e Gave Al Boy $5,000. “Her insane charge against Dr, Hen- kel is that he is married and abuses his wife. The fact is Dr, Henkel Is a bachelor, She also gave an altar boy $5,000 gome time ago and now wants to polson the boy and get the money back." When Mrs. Morrison was seen at her home to-day she sai “I would have shot Dr. Henkel on Sunday night if I had had a chance, These people have $500,000 belonging to me which they refuse to turn over. You see, I have a wife's right in the matte} “In what way?" she was asked. “Well, you see, Bishop Littlejolin was my husband and so was Dr. Henkel I will make trouble for them all yet. ‘The members of the congregation fuse to diacuss the matter, Tho latest disturbance occurred when it was announced that Dr. Van de Water would occupy a pulpit in Brook. lyn_and that his piace would be taken St. Andrew's by one of his two as- sistant rectors. Just before the services Mrs, Morrison entered the church and inquired of one of the ushers if Dr. Henkel was to preach. The usher re- plied that he did not know. Well, if he do was Mrs, Mor- rison's ‘reply, will rush up ‘to the altar and teat the robes from his back.” Dragged Back by Ushers. Then she passed to her pew and the Incldent_ was forgotten for the time being. Dr. Kettle occupted the. pulp! He had finished his sermon and the con: regation was singing the last hymn when Mrs. Morrison was seen to leave id advance rapidly up the direction of the altar. She was singing as she went and seemed greatly excited. ‘The congregation watched her movements in amazement, Just as she reached the altar and had started to climb upon the rail with her hand outstretched in the direction of the assistant rector, several of. the ushers, who had followed her, solzed het suddenly and led her back to her pew, Where she sat glaring at those about er. ‘Then she started to leave the church, but was stopped on her way out by two physicians, who detained her for a few moments while they could talk to her After a few moments’ conversation she disappeared. foe Ee THE OCEANIC GETS COAL.* Plent 1 Supply for Big.
