Revealer of the “Absolute Life” Found Guilty. Penalty of One to Ten Years in Penitentiary Follows Conviction. Chicago, July 14. Evelyn Arthur See, the ‘'revealer” and leader of the mysterious love cult, was found guilty by a jury before Judge Honore in the criminal court of abduction and contributing to the delinquency of Mildred Bridges, the seventeen-year-old “mother of the new race.” The penalty is from one to ten years in the penitentiary. See has noted an appeal. An arraignment of See, his teachings, his women, his attorneys, and a bitter denunciation of the sacrilege of likening him to the Nazarene marked the dramatic crisis of the trial of the “rexealer.” When the defense had closed its argument and the last word in behalf of the prophet had been pronounced, Assistant State’s Attorney Burnham leaped into the arena again for the final plea He completed his speech at 4 p. m„ the instructions of the court were read and the case was sent to the jury.
