J. D. Waters Testifies Lawyer Brandished Gun in Church. DESCRIBES SLAYING "I'm. to Clean Up," Minister Says Defendant Told Him.

Rev. J. D. Waters, pastor of the First Christian church, of Munhall, was grilled today as the "star" witness of the prosecution during the trial of Fayette J. Tyrrell, church elder and lawyer, charged with the killing of Philip Clark.

The minister is the head of the little parish church in which Clark was slain Sunday morning. May 13. Rev. Waters vividly described the circumstances that lead up to the killing, although he was not a witness to the fatal shots. "I went to church that Sunday morning about 20 minutes to 10," he said.

"As I went up the aisle I saw Mr. Clark talking tp another man in the rear of the church," he continued. Then he testified: "I went into the study and there met Thomas Thompson, presiding elder of the church. I left in a little while and started again to the rear of the church to talk to Clark. I was stopped as "if by an unseen force and never reached there." THREATENED PASTOR.

Attorney William H. Coleman, chief of the defense counsef took exception to the phrase "unseen force" and it was ordered stricken from the testimony. The witness proceeded, "Then I went back to the study and talked to Mr. Thompson. He called Tyrrell from the organ room and Thompson said to him that Clark had agreed not to make a report at the services that morning, if Thompson would call a meeting of the elders immediately after to hear the charges Clark proposed to make against Tyrrell.

"Tyrrell then took a gun from his1 pocket," the minister said. "This is my answer to the whole thing I am going to clean up this morning. I am going to start with, Clark and then you," the pastor says Tyrrell dramatically stated. Rev. Waters explained that Tyrrell had accused him of being "two-faced" in the matter.

"Human endurance has come to an end," the minister said Tyrrell stated. "I can't stand this any longer my wife is out there prostrated," Tyrrell continued, the wit-, ness said. Tyrrell's wife was not in the church that morning, according to the investigation. Then Rev. Waters said he stated to Tyrrell, "I have done everything I possibly can I will go out and get Clark away." PARISIIONERS FLEE CHURCH.

The preacher said Tyrrell blocked his exit from the study. Elder Thompson was there and remonstrated with Tyrrell by telling him he had accused the pastor wrongfully, the witness asserted. Rev. Waters said that he then went to the basement of the church, where he took off his frock coat and sent his son up to the first pew where he had left his other coat. In a few minutes Rev.

Waters said he left the basement and went to the street, where he saw people fleeing from the church and shouting for police.

0. P. EXTENDS LEAD IN MAINE Democrats Beaten by cisive Margin. De- By KENNETH G. CRAWFORD, United Press Staff Writer.

Portland, Sept. II. The Republican margin of victory -in Maine's "barometric" state election grew today to approximately 77,000 votes. With only 49 out of 633 election precincts missing, returns gave: For governor': William Tudor Gardiner, Republican, 144,108. Edward C.

Moran, Democrat, 66.228. For Senator: Senator Frederick Hale, Republican, 142,772. Herbert Holms, Democrat, 65,448, Although the Republicans polled the biggest majority in Maine's history, the total vote, which was expected to Dreak all records, fell far short of predictions. Based on the almost complete returns, it was estimated that the total vote would be between 220.000 and 225,000. compared with the 907 votes cast in the Brewster-Pat-tangall contest for governor in 1924.

Republicans today were elated over their majority, which exceeded predictions. Party leaders feel that the G. O. P. showing in this state would have a decidedly important effect in the November election.
