From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, August 22, 1914. According to the full story, the police stopped the showing of the Photodrama half way through and arrested Pastor Russell who was present in person. The issue was showing moving pictures on a Sunday. Also Adam and Eve weren't wearing any clothes! He was arrested on Sunday night and "discharged from custody" on the Monday. Did he actually spend a night in jail? The case was thrown out.
The history of the 19th century Bible Student movement, with occasional more recent developments among those who stayed with the Watch Tower Society. A place for historians who love this subject. Not a place for polemics or for debating beliefs; simply history written as neutrally as possible. Enjoy! Some reprinted pieces first appeared on: truthhistory.blogspot.com
