JOHN S. KEDROVSKY, etc., Plaintiff,
against
ARCHBISHOP and CONSISTORY of the Russian Orthodox
Greek-Catholic Curch, etc., Defendants.

STATE OF NEW YORK,
CITY OF NEW YORK,
COUNTY OF KINGS.
SS.

Praskovia Kedrovsky, having been duly sworn, according to Law, on her oath, deposes and says:

1. That I reside at No. 191 Pennsylvania Avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, County of Kings, City of New York, and I am the wife of the Local Pastor Rev. John Kedrovsky.

2. That I know Canadian Bishop Alexander Nemolovsky, and that said Bishop has a bad reputation among this clergy.

3. That although knowing his low character, I never expected to be ofended by him, being a wife of the Pastor and elderly woman. We entertain Bishop: Nemolovsky at our house mostly to sans the Parishioners during certain Holidays.

4. That Bishop Nemolovsky once visited us in Brooklyn, on his. duties to perform services in our Church, after services my husband was delayed in the church by the people. Bishop Nemolovsky came along to our residence.

5. I greeted him waiting for Blessing as his customary in our Chucrch. Bishop Nemolovsky started to act strangely. He grasped my both hands and held them and shaked them all the time. He strated to tell me a story of a Pastor his friend who ruined a child girl of fifteen years of age, so that she was carried out of his office half dead. Then Bishop Nemolovsky shivered as in fever and strived to pull me to himself. Realizing his dirty intentions I sprang away from him liberated myself and I left the room sitting all the time in the kitchen until the return of my husband from the Church.
