ON TRIAL FOR MURDER OF
LECTURER
GADVB8TON. Texas. April 26. —
The trial of George Tier, opening hpre
April 24, is the first of the so-called
Father Black trials, in which three
residents of Marshall. Texas, are ac
cused of the murder of the antl-Cn
tholic lecturer. The cases were re
moved to Galveston on December 13, j
1!* 15, on a change of venue from Mar
shall, where the indictments were re
turned. Cases alleging complicity
against Harry Winn and Frank
(('Deary have been dismissed because
of lack of evidence.
Tier was indicted for complicity in
" (lie killing of William Black, whoj
, claimed to have been formerly a priest
on the night of February 3, 1!»15. The
j night before he was killed Black had
| delivered a lecture in Marshall, en
titled ‘‘Romanism; a Menace to Civl
' lization." He was to lecture again I
that niglit. Marshall had been stirred
’ by the lecture of the previous night,
and by hand bill advertising of Wil
liam Black's work against the Roman
Catholic Church. He was advertised
‘‘one who knows." and the hand bills
referred to Roman Catholic Instltu-j
| tions as “The Old Beast.” They also
1 contained charges, cartoons and al
1 leged oaths of the Knights of Co
■ lumhus.
About supper time Black went to his
hotel room, where he was joined by
the other members of his party: Clar
ence F. Hall, of St. Rani. Minn., and:
Miss Sadie Black, a young woman j
whom Black had adopted at her home
in Arkansas a few days previously.!
Three Marshall men. John Rogers, j
John Copeland and George Ryan,!
called on the Black party.
Tier, the defendant, according toi
testimony at the examining trials, was j
present at the shooting, but did not |
accompany the trio, who first went
to Black's room. It was declared he
followed shortly after, and remained
near the door during tile fracas.
