The trial of Jacob Diamond, who invaded St. Paul’s Church on Christmas morning, wrecking the altar, which was scheduled to take place soon, will in all probability be postponed.
This was clear when the investigating judge started a new inquiry, calling the relatives and friends of the accused for interrogation. It was stated that Diamond had declared these persons had assisted him in his plan to attack the church.
Several persons who were present in the church at the time of the invasion, staled before the investigating judge that to them Diamond appeared normal.
