The Constitution July 28, 1913
Rev. Crawford Jackson, prominent Methodist minister, and secretary of the 
Juvenile Protective association, who was bound over to the grand jury Saturday 
afternoon by Justice of the Peace Gerideau, ont he complaint of Miss Louvenia 
Durden, his pretty young stenographer, has called a special meeting of the 
committee in charge of the association for 4 o'clock this afternoon in his 
offices in the Third National Bank building.

AT this time he will lay before them a complete account of his alleged improper 
conduct toward his stenographer, who charges that he kissed her and offered her 
a drink, and will ask a full vindication at their hands.

"I have invited these men of my own accord to meet with me, and see that 
justice is done me."

Rev. Mr. Crawford said last night that he had done nothing improper.

"Did you kiss your stenographer, and clasp her to your breat?"  he was asked.

"I made no improper advances," he answered.

"But did you kiss her?"

"No; just a short while ago, Thursday, in fact," was the question.

"I did nothing improper," he replied.
"I am fully confident that I shall be acquitted," he said to a Constitution 
reporter Sunday night.  "In that case I shall continue my juvenile work most 
assuredly, if it is the will of the executive committee of the assocation."

"In case that you are not acquitted, what will you do?"

"Well, really, I cannot say, but I am confident that I shall be acquitted.  I 
really care to say nothing further, as all that bears on the case will be 
placed before our committee this afternoon."
