Nedula Brittain Described as 'Deserter and Criminal' by Bruce Craven, Oct. 22, 1921

Stops Randolph County Man in Conference

High Point, N.C., Oct. 22—Nedula Brittain, Randolph County, was refused admission into the Western North Carolina Methodist conference today after he had been described as a “deserter and criminal” by Bruce Craven of Trinity in a speech to the conference in which is now in session here. Craven charged that Brittain went to Canada at the outbreak of the war and evaded the draft law.

Craven made his attack on Brittain in the presence of about 500 delegates.

Monroe was selected as the next meeting place for the 1922 conference after Winston-Salem had withdrawn an invitation.
