OUSTED PASTOR WAITS SCANDAL CASEJfERDICT Illinois Jury Deliberates Over His Claim for $50,000 Balm. Bn United Pres* ROCKFORD. 111.. Nov. 28 —No Thanksgiving sermon came today from the lips of the Rev. John A. Logan Warren, unfrocked Methodist minister, but he prayed in solitude that the public and a Jury had been convinced he was not guilty of immoral relations with a 17-year-old servant girL His denial rang through the circuit courtroom here yesterday as he testified in his $50,000 slander suit against seven former parishioners whom he charges with conspiring to besmirch his reputation and oust him from the pulpit of the Methodist church at Durand. 111. “I did not. sir,” the preacher said in a clear, firm voice when he was asked whether he had ever carried Hazel Lamb up the stairs in the parsonage. Smiles at Question A smile flitted across his face at the question. He seemed as much at home in the witness chair as he formerly had in the pulpit. ‘‘l did not,” he said again when asked if he ever had improper relations with Miss Lamb, whose charges against him resulted in his ouster and unfrocking and forced him to take up a pick and shovel as a day laborer. "On the morning Haze! Lamb left the parsonage, did Mrs. Warren hit you on the head with the stove poker and try to choke the girl?” was another question. ‘‘She did not,” Mrs. Warren answered. Calmly and firmly, the minister denied ever having been alone in the house with the girl, or having made any advances. He said he had not pyt his arm around her when taking her home from the church in an automobile. Mr. Warren told of a visit a church committee made to the par- | sonage in regard to a “whispering report” that there was immorality in the pastor’s house. Decision Friday Morning “We feel that your period of usefulness in our congregation is end- \ ed,” the minister quoted Everett Derwent as saying to him. “I answered that I didn’t agree with him,” Warren said, “and he went on, saying, ‘No man’s reputation ran survive a woman's attack.’ He followed with threats of unfavor- I able publicity and others in the i group said, ‘We’ll see that you 1 get it.’” Counsel for Warren rested his case and defense attorneys moved for a directed verdict of not guilty. Judge Fisher said he would give his decision Friday morning. The jury* was allowed to go home over Thanksgiving, cautioned not to read about nor discuss the trial.

EARLY MAILERS DELUGE ‘SANTA’ WITHJjEQUESTS From ‘Something to Eat/ Down to Toys Is Asked by Tots. BY I.OW’ELL NUSSBAUM “Mail early” campaigns are not needed to convince a youthful army of Indianapolis Santa Claus worshipers of the importance of eaily mailing. Taking time by the forelock, in order to get their requests in before Santa and his aides become rushed, a large number of children have begun pouring letters addressed to “Santa Claus. North j Pole,” into the Indianapolis po3toflice. Humor and pathos are found upon opening these curiously addressed missives. “Something to Eat, Too” “Father is sick and with ten children, he can’t get us any toys,” one 10-year-old boy wrote. “We would like to have some toys as well as other children. And Santa, please send us something co eat, too.” A small envelope, addressed “Mr. Santa Claus, North Pole, World, R. R. 3, from Billy, aged 4,” in an adult handwriting, contained two sheets of paper, each filled front and back with wavy lines in imitation of handwriting. One helpful youth listed ten articles he wished Santa to bring, alter each item listing the retail price. These included: “Bicycle, $10; gym set, $4; basketball, $3.50; carpenter set, $8.50; concrete mixer, $2.75; roller skates, $4.” Wants Electric Gas Stove Santa’s little friend. Lela, wrote, asking for a set of books, “electric gas stove,” table, chairs, pots, pans, mixing bowl, sled and a “pare of Panses and a vilin.” Foresighted Bobby wrote: “I heard you last night. I would like a toy gun, little fire truck, a dummy watch and a Yo Yo. That is all I want this year and will want something else next; so will close.” Another pathetic plea from a 7-year-old boy, apparently written by an older child, was: “I have no daddy and I am afraid mother can’t get everything I want. I want a scooter, a pair of shoes and a cap.” These letters, and others that may follow between now and Christmas, will be turned over to the Christmas clearing house. After conditions in the homes have been checked, the letters will be distributed to various charitable organizations of the city for response.
