BARELY ESCAPES DEATH IN CELL PHOENIX May 27—William B. Ward, condemned negro, still unconscious from the beating he received at the hands of convicts late yesterday was removed to the solitary confinement cell at the state penitentiary at Florence this afternoon to prevent the carrying out of threats of prisoners to hang him in the prison grounds for his attack on Mrs J. E. Wright, prison evangelist, when she entered his cell to haunt him. Ward, believed to be suffering from concussion of the brain, was removed to the prison hospital after guards rescued him from infuriated Prisoners but prison authorities decided to place him in a closely guarded cell after ropes with a hose prepared were found in the hands of prisoners today. Ward himself asked that Mrs. Martin, Mrs J. E. Wright, another prison missionary, and W. H. Grosh, father of the slain student, be brot to his cell. The two women evangelists accompanied by Warden Sims and Jack Burke, death cell guards, entered his cell. On the pretext of asking for a hymn book the negro distracted the attention of the guards and killed Mrs. Wright to the floor with a blow. Her screams attracted prisoners in the corridor and they rushed in and began to heat the negro. Werden Sims rallied guards and took the prisoner from the infirmited felons. Prison authorities revealed today that a confession had been found in Ward's cell indicating the prisoner's intention to hold the two women and Grosh as hostages for his life. Grosh recently was refused permission to spring the trap when Ward is hanged. Ward narrowly escaped lynch-tax following his arrest near Globe for the murder of young Grosh. He killed the student and drove Miss Marline McNelly, Grosh's companion, to an abandoned prospector's tunnel, attacked her and left her for dead, according to evidence at his trial. AGED BISHOP GOES ON TRIAL FOR MERESY (Continued from Page One) bolism of Christ and that Christianism stands for goodness, kindness. It is a beautiful thing." Bishop Brown styles himself a "rath-nulist" in religion, as differentiated from "modernist" and "fundamentalist." "There is no rathonal doubt," he says, "about thelictious character of the divine Jesus." My god, nature, is a trifune divinity—matter being the father, force the son, and motion the spirit. "I have ceased to believe in the existence of a conscious personal divinity. Of course, my faith in the existence in a spiritual world and hope for future life in it went with the god. "If you ask me whether I am still a professing Christian, I shall answer: Yes; yet the brether Jesus is not for me on historic personage, but only a symbol of all that is for good in the world, even as Uncle Sam of our American literature is not an historical personage, but only a symbol of all which is for good in the United States. "The I make no pretensions of being a saint, I do claim that, other things being equal, I can be as good a Christian on my atheistic, materialistic lines as any other member of the House of Bishops on his atheistic, spirital lines and I shall be much interested in attempting to prove that such is not the case." When counsel for both sides concluded arguments over the court's jurisdiction Bishop Murray of Maryland, presiding, announced that the court would rule on the question of jurisdiction tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Court then adjourned until that hour. 47 KILLED BY TOPNADO IN SOUTHERN STATES (Continued from Page One) The dead: Ruby Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. John Broadway, Buck Broadway, Mrs. Mabel Broadway and her daughter; Marvin, and Nettie E.
