For Narrow-Mmdedness
(Continued from Page One.)
‘Radicai and radlsh' might be link-
ed together ln siml'ar :ashlon. for
both are derhed from the Latin
word ‘root.'—-but with how many
people is the Word 'radicsi' a wholly
safe word? Who interpret it to
mean ‘going to the roots of things“?
Who associate with the world the
ideas of thoroughness and strength
and patience?
“As Dr. it'osdick pointed out in
his farewell sermon. heretics or radi-
cals he might say. like Jesus and
Paul. John Calvin and John Knox.
John-Greenleaf “'lntticr and Henry
Ward Beecher were not enthusiastic-
ally popular in their day. Not all
the Christians were sorry to see
them go: there were some who
thanked God that they had seen the
last of such disturbing hcrctlcs.
Jesus was undoubtedly a better man
than all the other dealers with new
truth. He Was more patient and
lnuch more gently considerate ul
his encmics—-but they killed Him.
Who killed Him? Why. the religious
people of his day.
What Christ Did.
"They killed Him because He was
a. good man.and was doing good.
and had the courage to stand up for
what He knew/to be right.
in pointing out that Jesus stood
for the truth and for 30 years pre-
pared to proclaim it. ltev Mitchell
said that Jesus went to'the roots of
things. that He discarded customs.
even the laws and Sabbath of Jud-
aism. He did something dangerous.
the minister said. by suggesting
something new. when things had
gone along very well. The clergy-
man pointed out the difficulty ex-
perienced in separating the symbol
from the truth. and told his con-
gregation to beware of that con-
senvatism which holds that the old
forms are the embodiment of truth
and essential to it.
H. was thankful. he said. that
there are many modern illustrations
of this Jesus type of man in the
world today. who is carrying out
their policies. broke with the ac-
credited leaders. abandoned soual
distinction and' instituted a new
type of evangelism equally appeal-
ing. all of which went for a newer.
bigger. better and nobler church
and a broader Christian/community
with a vision of God as a. Spirit, to
tied for the good of thadepartment.
He thought, that the case could be
settled by Committeman Frizzcll.
and' stated that he was sure that
members of the Putnam Hose com-'
pany wished to be loyal to the Fire
department of the city and that this
company would pass a resolution to
this effect.
Committoeman Friszell will make
an eifort to see the three men who
were not present at the meeting
some time today and will then- pro-
pare his evidence in the case and
decide as to what evidence will be
presented to the Common Council
at their next meeting.
Committeoman Frineil. Attorney
Connery and two reporters were the
only ones in the room where the fire-
man were being questioned; Chief
George W. Bossfdus'was not in the
room during the time that the men
were beinghuestioned.

Rev. Mitchell then presented a
street sccno. on the right hand side
of which stood a line of "men with
earnest looks upon their faces and
a. desire to get at the work. They
are ministers. priests and rabbis
rtady to start out to preach the
Gospel. They know what to preach
for they have spent years in pre~
pnration. If you will. look at the
crowd on the left hand side of the
street you will notice that some of
them are carrying large crosses.
some have kegs of spikes. while
otlwrs have large hammers in their
hands.
“This crowd that you are now
looking at on the left hand side of
the street have ll cross for every
minister standing on the side and
they are given instructions to the
ministers that are allowed to preach
just as l/oug as they preach what
we have taught you and follow our
instructions. but if you deviate one
iota. from the line we have laid
down for you. we will nail you to a
cross and there you will die s fail-
ure. as fai- ss preaching ihe gospel
of Jesus is concerned. and many
ministers prove themselves to be
nothing more or less than a very
poor specimen of a Jelly fish, a dis-
grace to the average monkey and
a living religious parrot by looking
pleasant and saying. 'Yes. papa. thy
will not mine he done.‘ "
After asserting that no living
creature had the right to tell a min-
ister how he shall preach the"og-
he! of Jesus Christ or where he
shall preach it. thal the voice of
God with him is superior to the ad-
vice of human beings. Rec. Milch~
ell declared that it is impsossible to
please God and Mun both.

Greenwich Murder
(Continued from Page One.)
a park not far from the lndian liar-x
bot Yacht club. The first report the
poll“ here had of'tho shooting was
when U'Msbo'ngy gave himself up
at Police headqudrters with the
statement the! a. use Juli shot his
sweetheart. He turned over his re-
volver to the police. it showing that
five shells had been exploded. He
then led the police to the woods
nearby waero the body of the gin
was found with five bullet wounds
in her head and breast.
OIahoney mused to make any
statement furtnet lhan to admit that
he had done the shooting and that he
had then carried the body into the
bushes where it was later found. He
was to be questioned further today.
“Killed My Sweetheart"
“I have killed my sweetheart:- said
O'Mahoney, as he threw a .25 call-
bre Mauser revolver and three empty
shells on the desk at the Greenwich
station house. “I am giving myself
up because I know I can't get away
with it." ,
That was the greeting with which
Captain Patrick Flanagan of Green-
wich learned of the cold blooded
murder that shocked the entire town
as soon a. news of the shooting had
leaked out.
Self possess“! and betraying no
weakness. U'nahonsy told Captain
Flanagan that he had coins to Green-
wich with the girl le- than two
hours before and that the body would
be found in s clump of woods a
short distance below the railroad
station. '
Will I‘evelI Tell
“Why did you do it?" asked Cap-
tain Flanagan after the man had
thrown the gun on the desk.
“Well, th‘t is something i Will
never tell." explained U'Mahoney
"I intend to carry‘the
reason for my deed to the grave
and I will. i will." .
"\Nhere were you when you shot
the girl." questioned the officer.
"I can't say exactly but i think
I can direct you to the spot. if you
desire." he explained in a steady
. voice.
Summoning Medical Examine:
John A. Clarke. who hurried to the
police station, Captain Flanagan in
company with the self confesse:
murderer went to Indian Harbo.
Drive at 1", direction of Oil-honey
He called for them to stop and
slighted from the machine.
"No. this is not the place.” he
said. "It seems to me that it was
further down the road."
Captain Flanagan together with
Dr. Clarke and U'llahoney then
walked down the road and as they
neared the entrance to the E. C
Benedict estate U'hiahoney walked
into the woods. About one hundred
yards from the road. hidden by
deep underbrush. lay the body of the
girl. Her body was still warm but an
examination by the medical examin-
er showed that death had been in-
stanlanoous.
Throughout th’e entire trip to the
scene of the murder and the return
to the police station. O'Ishoney os-
hibited no sign of remorse but walk.
ed erect to when the body was lying.
"Here is the body." he mid
quietly. .
Sheds‘ s M
Only once during the ordeal fol~
lowing his surrender did O'Mahoney
show any sign of nervousneu. Vi'hen
he was made aware of the serious-
ness of the crime he hastily nicked
a tear from his eye and looking up
to Captain Fianngsn'snd Dr. Clarke
who were in the sergeant‘s olflce at
the police station and muttered a
few meaningle- words under his
breath.
Questioning of O'Mahoney at the
police station by Captain Flanagan
brought no satiscaction to the of-
ficers. .
"What reason did you luvs for
committing such a deed 2".
“i never can tell. I will carry
any reason i may have had for the
crime to my grave."
"Why did you come to Greenwich?
Have you any reason for that?"
"No. I don’t like to answer any
questions.”
"Were you ever in Greenwich be.
fore?"
"No sir. I was not."
O'Mahoney refused to answer any
more questions that were put to
him by the officers. explaining that
he couldn't clear things up much.

O'Mahoney is 6 feet tall and stands
erect. He speaks In a well modu-
lated voice which is possessed of a
slight accent. To glance at him he
would not be taken as a cold blood-
eli confessed murderer.
In speaking of the murder last
night. Captain Flanagan. to whom
Mahoney surrendered. stated that
never in his career nau ho seen a
man. a self confessed murderer. dis-
play such apparent uninterest ova
a crime such as he had committed.
“O'Mahoney seemed to be possess
ed of nerves of steel." explained the
captain. "Only once during the
questioning did he break down and
then it was only momentarily. His
courage in the face of the crime
that he admits’doing. is worthy of
comment." ,
Coroner John J. Phelea was noti-
fied of the murder by Medical Ex-
aminer Clarke. He will conduct an
inquest in the Borough Court this
afternoon.
“Fire in High Street,”
lst Dist, Not ‘pnd
A phone call came in at the Cen-
tral Pire station about noon yester-
day and the party on the other end
of the wire stated. "there is a fire
in High street. '
The firemen who
answered the
phone thinglng that ‘flre was in
Couch street formerly High street.
in the Second Di-trict. turned in
the alarm for Box 15 in that street.
The apparatus went to that box
only to find that there was no fire
in Couch street. An investigation
brought out that the tire was in
High street in the First District and
the one ailing the hm department
had neglected to state this fact.
in the meantime the uptown fire
