M’Arthur Threatened with Knife
New York Clergyman Has Letter Warning Him Against More Speech.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—“I am sorry
that it was not you instead of President McKinley who was shot. If you dare
open your mouth again against anarchy or anarchists you will be the next to
feel the assassins’ dagger.”
This is the text of a letter received by Rev.
Robert S. MacArthur, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of this city, within
the last few days. Dr. MacArthur referred to the matter in his sermon yesterday
and afterwards gave out the text of the letter. He said the letter evidently
had been written by a well-educated person. He has received other threatening
letters since he preached against anarchism a week ago.
