AIMEE'S MATE BRANDS NURSE'S STORY AS 'BUNK' Awaits Chance to Deny Betrayal Charge; Gir! Faints. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Pr* SUIT Correspondent LOS ANGELES, June 22.—Corpulent David L. Hutton, husband of Almee Semple McPherson Hutton Impatiently awaited today his chance to strike back at charges that he betrayed a comely nurse under promise of marriage. “The worm must turn,” the 250pound choir singer said. Myrtle Hazel Jean St. Pierre, seeks $200,000 from Hutton for asserted breach of promise. Mrs. St. Pierre neared the end of her direct story and Hutton hoped his attorneys, on cross examination, soon could prove that her recital was “bunk, all bunk,” as he Insisted to newspaper men. The evangelist's husband whispered that phrase even when the nurse collapsed on the courtroom floor after she told Intimate details of the alleged betrayal. Got Baby Blanket Mrs. St. Pierre told of the time Hutton had a cold and she nursed him. "I went over to his home to rub his chest,” Mrs. St. Pierre said. “On the way over I stopped at a store and bought a baby blanket. It was baby blue. “After I rubbed him, I cut a hole in the middle of the blanket, put his head through the hole and slipped the blanket over his shoulders. Then I fixed it under his arms with pink ribbons so that it wouldn't slip ofT.” Mrs. St. Pierre’s collapse came at a most dramatic moment. She had Just finished telling how Hutton met her, made violent love to her and swept her off her feet with amorous acts and phrases. "He st down on the divan that night," she said. "He took me into his arms, crying that I must prove my love for him. He covered me with kisses, and swore we already were married in the sight of God.” The nurse was sobbing hysterically. Judge Lester Roth ordered a recess. As Mrs. st. Pierre stepped from the stand she collapsed. Finishes Her Story She was revived and, after the judge cleared the courtroom of all spectators, Mrs. St. Pierre finished the story. The nurse said that she suggested they get married as he had proposed, she began to see him less and less often. Finally he disappeared and the next she knew of him was to hear his voice as it came in the now famous broadcast from the nuptial chamber he shared with Mrs. Mc-Pherson-Hutton alter their marriage in September, 1931. Mrs. McPherson - Hutton heard none of the testimony, for she was in a sanitarium recuperating from a recent illness. It was Hutton’s singing of “my faith in you” which caused her heart to flutter, Mrs. St. Pierre testified. “It was,” she said, “something about his love being deeper than the deepest ocean and bluer than the bluest se.a. He said to me, ‘darling, I composed that just for you.’ ” FIGHTS TO FREE MAN IN ROBBERY PLOT CASE Lawyer’s Theory Is “One Can Not Conspire With Himself.” “A man can not conspire with himself," is the theory upon which release of John Clendenning from the Indiana state prison is being sought by his attorney, T. Ernest Maholm. Hearing on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus will be held Saturday in La Porte circuit court, before Judge Alfred J. Link, who granted an order Tuesday to Maholm against Warden Walter H. Daly of the prison. Clendenning was given a two-to-fourteen-year term on a conspiracy to rob conviction before Special Judge Gerritt M. Gates in Marion criminal court, on May 18. Judgment was withheld in the case of Frank Stinnette. Clendenning's codefendant. The two were arrested by police who charged they had plotted to rob a bus and were in possession of a revolver and some liquor. Maholm maintains that in a conspiracy case all defendants must be either convicted or acquitted. FOUR ARE INJURED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS 8-Year-Old Girl Bruised and Cut When Struck by Auto.

I sues that confront the country and will figure most prominently I in the coming campaign.

taxes.’’ Trullinger said, “and they’re all sore.” Walking down the street and into the jewelry store owned by W. H. Replogle, the visitor received further enlightenment along the same line. a a tt “'TpHE big issue today is to reJL dute expenses in government," Replogle said. “Cut out the officials that aren’t needed, just like business has had to do.” He was convinced, however, of the injustice of a tax that classed watches as a luxury and argued authoritatively that the measurement of time was a necessity. Frank Tuttle, who operated a grocery store until the chain stores became too potent, then owned an automobile agency until

people, according to his account, stopped buying motor cars—and now is in the insurance business —was convinced from personal experience that the people's only concern today is one of jobs and better business. Frank Racine, in the real estate and loan business, nearly had resigned to the futility of either until the government could dtt something to assure better fam. prices. None of the men interviewed considered prohibition of any importance as a political or economic question.

BORAH FIRM IN i ‘HOOVER BOLT,' HE INDICATES Powerful G. 0. P. Dry Can't Be Swayed From Stand, Observers Believe. BY JULIUS FRANDSEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 22—Senator William E. Borah, powerful Republican dry leader, appeared to be turning his back today against an- J ticipated administration efforts to win him over to support President

Herbert Hoover’s re-election campaign. The Idaho orator more than once has split with other party leaders, sulked for a while, and then in the end gone out on the stump for the Republican presidential nominee. His thundering voice was the siege gun of the 1928 Hoover campaign. But he shows no disposition to compromise his declaration that he can not support Mr. Hoover on the Republican convention prohibition plank. The hope of administration leaders lies in arguing with Borah that the Hoover “straddle" plank does not stand for repeal, but merely proposes to let the states choose between federal and state prohibition. They also point out that the plank specifically provides that no member of the party shall be bound by it. Borah kept his own counsel as to what he will do in the campaign.
