Show BIBLE SOCIETY HAS UNSEALED WIRELESS Successor to "Pastor' ' Russell Tells Officers Plant Was Installed for Amusement of Members. NEW YORK, March 7. A dismantled wireless appartus which had not been sealed in accordance with orders issued by the government several months ago, was found by officers of the army intelligence intel-ligence bureau, who yesterday made another an-other search of Bethel home, the headquarters head-quarters in Brooklyn of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract society and of the International Inter-national Bible Students' association, it was announced today. Both organizations formerly were headed by "Pastor" Russell. Rus-sell. The apparatus was not seized. The search was made in connection with the federal investigation of a volume of papers taken in a raid on Bethel home and the Brooklyn tabernacle, another Russellite establishment, ten days ago. This examination is being conducted, it is said, to determine whether the records contain seditious matter. Officers who found the wireless plant said they were met at the door of Bethel home by a man who said he was 'Joseph A. Rutherford, successor to "Pastor" Russell as head of the several religious organizations. He told them the apparatus appa-ratus had been installed for "the amusement" amuse-ment" of a number of young members of the Russell sect who live at the home. |
