The Fall of a Hinister
The Rev George Buckle, who,
(wentj vears ago, was pastor of
Monterey, Pisgah, Hightown ami
Crabbottom churches, is haying hi*
picture and that of his wife appear
conspicuously in connection with
(lairing head lines, in the New
York daily papers, because at hi*
wife.
From the statements of the pa?
pers he must have secured the pas?
torate of the vety fashionable Eliz?
abeth (New Jersey), presbyterian
church (the place where he at?
tempted to take the life of his
wife), not long after leaving Mont?
erey, and it seems that he enjoyed
the confidence and respect of hi*
congregation.
His wife who was a Miss Martin,
her mother now being matron al
the Western State Hospital, at
Staunton, has been an invalid for
a number of years, and according
%0 her statement he had grown
tired of her and wished her out of
the way that another might take
her place.
The night after the marriage of
their eldest daughter to a wealthy
Standard Oil man, is the time the
murderous assault was made, and
is spoken of by Mrs Buckle thus:
"Shortly after midnight I awoke
to find my husband standing over
me. Frightened by the hatred in
his eyes I asked him. what was the
matter. He replied, "I just want?
ed to see if you were asleep."
She complained of having a
headache, and he offered to dampen
a towel, she said, and put it on her
forehead. What occurred then was
told to Police Justice Mahon b)
the complainant, as pale and still
bearing marks of a violent struggle,
she vividly described the terrible
ordeal as follows:
When mv husband offered to re?
lieve my suffering I was somewhat
surprised, as he seldom showed me
any courtesies of the kind. But
he left the room and returned in a
few minutes with a large Turkish
towel. Before bringing it to nie
he carefully closed the door leading
into the adjoining room occupied
by our daughter, Virginia.
Then he brought the towel to me.
It was dampened with warm water
instead of cold and I told him that
a warm towel would not relieve a
headache. He replied that it was
good enough and folded it in a
thick square, I noticed this, as we
always kept a dim light burning
in the apartment because of our
baby, who slept in a cradle near
the bed.
Suspecting nothing, I permitted
him to lay the towel over mv face,
but remarked to him that it was
too far down, as it covered my nose
and mouth. He said, "No matter;
you will feel better in a few mo?
ments."
I was grateful because of his un?
usual kindness, and was slow to
realize that the towel was being
firmly and gradually pressed closer.
Then came the awful realization
that I was at the mercy of a mur?
derer. His look of hatred, which 1
had noticed upon awakening, now
came into my mind and I tried to
scream. But it was useless. The
damp towel completely shut off ut?
terance and my breath was rapidly
leaving me.
In the struggle that followed I
fell from the bed. This awoke the
baby and its cries brought my 17 j
year old daughter to the room. My
husband tried to explain to her
that I had fallen out of bed while
as'eep, but when I regained con?
sciousness 1 told my daughter that
lier father had tried to murder me.
She anused the neighbors and
they took me with them for the
balance of the night.
When I returned to the parson?
age next morning Mr. Buckle was
gone. He returned at noon and
asked me to forgive him. I told
him if he would make known the
truth I .would li ye with him for the
sake of the children. He said to
tell the truth would ruin him.
He then left me, taking what
money was in the house."
No warrant has been issued for
his arrest.
A later paper adds that Mr
Buckle resigned as pastor of the
Elisabeth Church and his where?
abouts is not known, but he is
thought to be in New York. He
sent Mrs Buckle $125 and promis?
ed to support her when he got
work.
In talking for the press Mrs
Buckle said further:
'?Mr Buckle hates sick people.
He always declared he would abol?
ish all the homes for incurables
md kill off all the idiots; that it
was a great mistake to prolong life
when the person was not in good
condition physically. He frequent?
ly told me with great frankness he
wished I would die.
'?] would not mind dying very
much, life has been so hard. If he
had tried to loll me some other
way that would not have been so
as smothering to death, it would
have been different. That would
be such a frightful death. I will
never forget the horror of those
moments when he held the towel
io that I could not breathe, and
-ealized my helplessness in his
?rasp.
"In all our twenty years of mar?
led life I have never known any
eal happiness. He was always
rritable and quick tempered. I
viii sav right here, a man to be (
uccessful as a minister must have
>eeu sanctified. He has so many
mportunities, too, to do wrong and
over up his actions, by declaring
ll he is doing is for the dui rc h. j
"I haye no malice toward my \
usband, but I am so afraid of him r
that I would-never dare to lire with
iiim again. He did not show real
hatted of nie, however, until after
the other woman, one of his parish*
oners, caine into his life."
It is liardlv necessary to state
that Rev Mr Buckle's course, while
serving the first years of his minis?
try at, this place, was not fully ap?
proved by the public, or by a ma?
jority of his congregations, yet, on
his departure he left behind some
true friends who considered him a
man of real worth.
One of his sermons, especially,
will be recalled by Monterey peo?
ple, when on a Sunday afternoon
lie entered the pulpit in a thorough?
ly bad humor, and yisited his wrath
upon anything and everything.
It was during this discourse that
one of the good brothers could
scarcely refrain from rising in bil
seat and stopping him. Then it
wm that for some little figuring
it had been doing on church doc?
trine, he applied to the Highland
Recorder (Ed Sheppe, editor) the
term, "the dirty little sheet around
the corner.'1
It was not long after this ser?
mon that Highland Presbyterians
made arrangements about another
pastor. Then it was that the Rev
George Buckle dropped out of the
lives of this people, and the mem?
ory of him faded, faded, until now
the book 'of his life among us is
again open, and to it has been ad?
ded another chapter.

Weak
Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
jne hundred people who have heart troubla
:an remember when it was simple indiges
.ion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
leart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi?
gestion. All food taken Into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the)
tieart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time thal
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
