McNeely, owner, was indicted here Wed- j nesday for false pretense on charges selling four gallons of gasoline for , five and charging customers for the . latter amount.

U. associational convention during its next regular meeting, which will be held Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. This banner was won by making the best attendance record at the first quarterly meeting of the convention which was held in the Bethune Baptist church some time ago. The scijtc was determined by multiplying the' number of ruiles between the Camden church and the Bethune :hurch by. the number of delegates registered at the meeting. Evidence of a good bit of interest having been aroused in the next quarterly meeting of the associational convention which will be held in the First Baptist church of Camden, Suniay afternoon, April 11, at 3 o'clock ind the fact that the entertaining rhurch can score only one point for ?ach mombcr registering indicates that it will be hard lor jMc Camden .inion to hold tho banner next qwirtr..

Murray Leslie, negro nfruiater, has hati^ the respect and confidence of Alabama negro congregations and a host of white persons in this community. 4 The minister *as regarded as an abel leader among the negroee. Today a disillusionment came to his congregation here when surgeons at St. Vincent hospital, where the minister was removed after an accident, announced that the injured preacher was a woman. Preacher Leslie thpn told the story, j She Came to Alabama from Knoxville more than a score of yegrs ago. It sqited her to assume the garb and sex of a man, and until a stree? car struck her today her plans' had carried. For years the preacher had followed the calling of a minister in and around Birmingham and insofar as police have been able to learn lived an exemplary life. Police are looking into her past. If nothing is found they said no charges would rfcst against * the woman. Her parishioners were too shocked to. make statements as to what action the church mightr^ake. | Leonard Kip Rhinelander, scion of a wealthy New York family, who a few months ago was refused an annulment of his marriage to Alice Jones Rhinelander, a woman with negro blood in her veins, has been refused a new tr%l by a New York supreme court justice.
