perform an Illegal operation urged by the minister. The girl broke down and cried. “I’m wild about him. I love him. It is a crazy love. I did anything for him, and would do it again,” she cried as former parishioners, other reputed girl friends, a fellow pastor who had testified against the accused minister, and townspeople gasped their astonishment. The relationship, the girl claimed, began when she was 15. The girl admitted she signed a release, denying the minister was the child’s father. This testimony came under cross-examination. Dr. Alfred E. Jones, Leanordstown, Md., minister, testified he had several reasons for remembering Pr. Estornelle. In the St. John’s rectory party, Dr. Jones said, Estornelle “put more and more gin in the girl’s ginger ale glasses, and delighted in telling unsavory stories.” At another party in the home of Carl R. Evered, Jones testified Dr. Estornelle had his hostess sit on his lap. Two members of a choir in a previous parish testified the minister had kissed them. One said the minister “taught me Spanish.”

SLASH IN STATE TAX IMPOSSIBLE, REALTORS TOLD Rate Fixed by Budget for Next Two Years, Points Out Leslie Aid. There will be no reduction in the state tax rate, it was indicated in a letter received today by Albert E. Uhl, president of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, from the office of Governor Harry G. Leslie. The state rate is determined by the Governor and state auditor in co-operation with the state tax board. It now is 29 cents on each SIOO of taxables. L. O. Chasey, secretary to the Governor, wrote the letter to Uhl, having received one from him asking that the state tax be cut 25 per cent. Chasey s letter points out that the legislative budget determines state expenditures and, therefore, there

can not be reduced expense during the next two years. Cuts in tax rate must be made by local governmental units the letter contends. It points out that the state rate is but a small portion of the total.
