BEDFORD — The trial of a traveling minister accused of having sex with an 11-year-old girl in a motel has been delayed again.

Bedford County Judge Thomas Ling on Friday granted a continuance to defense attorney Thomas Crawford of Pittsburgh. Crawford had requested additional time to line up and subpoena witnesses to testify on behalf of the Rev. Walter Donald Bradshaw.

The trial, expected to last two or three days, had been scheduled next week. It has been rescheduled for Sept. 19 and 20.
