A Heretic on Trial
Driscoll, Charles B. | June 18, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the trial of William Montgomery Brown, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U.S. The lawyers, clerks, advisers and experts on gathered about their tables. The audience is composed largely of heretics who share at least some of the views of the defendant. Socialists, communists, rebels, independents, radicals of every stripe. And there is a sprinkling of orthodox ministers of the gospel, who came to see the humbling of a heretic and secretly hoping that some way may be found to get a permit from the fire department to burn the old man in the public square beside the bronze statue of Tom Johnson, another heretic, who once was mayor of this city of Cleveland, Ohio.
