If anyone blabbed, it was most likely Abigail. (In fact, in the '91 DS, they made a point of it being Abigail who told Trask.)

When I first saw this ep., I thought it was pretty strong stuff for daytime TV.
Back in the day there was quite the backlash against this episode. Not just for the simple fact that Barnabas walled up a person to die - but because that person happened to be a reverend. We as fans may see Trask more as a self-proclaimed reverend and misguided religious zealot (misguided as in willing to cross any line to convict Vicki), but there were apparently a whole lot of people who were only too happy to consider Trask the real thing and to go after the show for persecuting him, and by extension, religious leaders in general. It wasn't pretty.
