God Is Best Physician; Says Snake Bite Victim Hill Billy Evangelist Trudges Nine Miles With Arm Sweden With Venom to Deliver Sermon.
By L nited Press ERASTUS, N. C., Aug. 13— Albert Teester, Hill Billy evangelist, who permitted a rattlesnake to bite him twice and then refused medical attention because “the faithful are immune to death,” was confident today he had proved to his flock that “God is the best physician.”
Surrounded by his five children, his 41-year-old brother. Robert, and his 65-year-old sister, Mary, Teester told with solemn pride how he “licked the serpent with the most powerful of all weapons—faith in the Lord.” The arm which the snake's fangs penetrated twice before the eyes of his congregation a week ago Sunday was still swollen today but appeared much improved. “It'll be all right in a few more days,” he drawled. “Then I'm goin’ back to my farmin’.” Teester, a sturdy mountaineer of Scotch-Irish ancestry, arose from the bed where for several days he had tossed in agony, and walked nine miles yesterday over the winding trails of the Great Smokies to deliver two sermons. “I'll take the word of God today and preach on it,” the 39-year-old “Holiness” preacher told his flock, augmented by mountain folk of other sects who had come to witness the “miracle.” “I want to tell you and I want it to go out to all the world just why I picked up a serpent and let it bite me last Sunday. “I’m doing this for God and I explain from His book. In the name of Jesus I took up the snake and let it bite me. I have the best physician in all the world. I’ll tell you who it is. It is Jesus Christ.” A hoarse cry of “hallelujah, praise the Lord,” interrupted. “I will never need any medical attention, for I believe in God and take Him as my healer. That is why all the suffering did not matter to me. If I die. I won’t be ashamed of having picked up the snake for God.” “Hallelujah!” “Hallelujah! The Lord be praised! Amen!” “I used to believe in doctors,” the preacher said at another meeting. “But when I gave my heart to the Lord fourteen years ago. I stopped going to doctors and started going to church. “The Holiness church (as the Church of God is familiarly known) teaches that we should trust God for the healing of our bodies and this includes protection from diseases.

Palmer later boasted that “I’ve killed six men and been sentenced td bum. That's why I'm so hot. But you'll never find out who I am.” Confronted with his identity, Palmer snorted “Why should I tell you who I am: maybe I'm Palmer and maybe I'm not.’’ Palmer was arrested near a railroad track in the southern part of the city. Detectives Daily and Sheehan grabbed a .45-caliber automatic pistol that was in easy reach of the sleeper’s left hand. “The Lord had his arm around those two cops,” Palmer muttered. “If I hadn't been dead tired for sleep you’d have to bury them." He said to Detective Chief Kelley Franklin: "I ain't got nothing against you. cop. but I'm going to kill you if I get a chance—and if you don't kill me first.” Detectives today said Palmer had become sullen, declining to respond to questioning. Texas authorities are expected to arrive here tonight or early tomorrow to return the fugitive to Huntsville.

Vogel, Irving Epstein and Irving Kendall.
Inside the cell, endeavoring to console the woman in that touchingly, clumsy manner peculiar to most males, stood a young man whose bronzed features offered contrast to the jail’s somber walls. The man is Virgil Carver, 33, of 413*2 East North street. The woman is his wife, Thelma. Their baby daughter, Mary, died Saturday in city hospital at the age of three weeks and five days. Through her tears, Mrs. Carver explained that her husband can not leave the jail for the baby’s funeral unless he pays a S4O fine for drunkenness, the suspension of which was revoked when Carver was arrested Aug. 7 on a similar charge. Mrs. Carver said that she has made no arrangements as yet for the funeral as she still hopes that there will be some way to free her husband, even if it be only for the short duration of the services. “We haven’t got a cent to pay for the fine,” she said, “and they told me that unless he paid the fine, Virgil would have to stay in jail and serve forty days.” The man nodded approval of his wife's statement from behind the bars as he took a reassurring grip around her fingers. A sad smile fluttered for an instant over her face and she said, “I do hope everything will turn out all right.” TYPHOID DEATHS WITH CIRCUS INCREASE TO 4 Fifty Employes in Hospital; Wire Performer 111.
