James Coyle
James Edwin Coyle (March 23, 1873 – August 11, 1921) was an
American Catholic priest who was murdered in
Birmingham, Alabama, by a
Ku Klux Klan member for performing a marriage between Pedro Gussman, a
Puerto Rican Catholic, and a recent
Catholic convert, Ruth Stephenson. The killer, Edwin R. Stephenson, a
Methodist minister who opposed what he saw as an
interracial union, was the father of the bride.
