...week as it was on the evening when a fatal volley of buckshot spattered through the study window of the headmaster of the Mount Hermon School for Boys (TIME, Sept. 24). Police of Northfield, Mass., had scoured every foot of the campus. A local judge had held a secret, ten-day inquest, examined 63 witnesses, only to report that young Headmaster Speer had died by the hand of "a person unknown."

Evangelist Brookshire retired to put on rubber boots, rubber apron for the baptismal service. His pulpit was moved aside. A section of flooring was taken up to expose a waist-deep tank of water. Evangelist Brookshire stepped in. A-a-a-men! A-a-a-men! cried the congregation. Two girls, 12 and 16, approached. Praying loudly, he helped them down, doused them in the tank. Then followed...
