PROVED RIGHT TO DRINK BY BIBLE

Hammond, Ind., April 20.—David Manuel, a colored minister from Chicago, pleaded a successful case when he was arraigned in the court of Judge W. A. Reiland this morning of drunkenness. He quoted many passages of scripture to prove, not dniy his right to drink, but to become drunk. After 15 minutes of scripture Judge Reiland was convinced of the man’s right to drink and freed him.
