THE MORNING ' OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1920 9, WITNESS TESTIFIES IN TONGUES OF FIRE Member of Apostolic Faith Surprises Court. JUDGE THROWS SUJT OUT Opinions Expressed I'rom Bench TUat Both Tartlcs to Divorce Application ' Are Unworthy. Graphic demonBtratior. the re ligious fervor aroused in the minds of the disciples of the Apostolic Faith mission was given in Circuit Judge Gatens' court yesterday morning when A. E. Davidson, in testifying for Mrs. Hattle - Michael in her divorce suit against B. F. Michael, suddenly broke away from his line of even voiced testimony and began talking rapidly and excitedly in an unknown tongue. The witness spoke loudly and wildly in what he described as the tongues of fire: a language which comes "unbidden" to the lips of the true believers In that particular sect. Court Stenographer Van Horn gasped when the witness began sud denly to shout a jumble of words that none could understand. The court advised the stenographer not to at tempt to take down the fervid but unintelligible sermon. Case Ik Thrown Oat of Coart. Despite the impromptu tongues of fire Judge Gatens threw the case out of court because of what he char acterized as the gross immorality of both the man and the "voman. "This court has consistently re fused to wash the dirty linn of any family, and I will not hear any other witnesses in this case." The husband sought the divorce de cree on charges of infidelity a-nd on the further grounds that the Apos tolic Faith mission had alienated the affections of Mrs. Michael from him. Mrs. Michael in her complaint alleged cruelty. "If this woman has reformed and is now leading a new life, I am glad of it," said Judge Gatens, "but her own testimony In this courtroom this morning shows she is, so weak men tally or is so immoral that she is not entitled to any relief. And the hus band likewise has shown that he is no better, if not worse, than his wife." Ilunhand Denies Compulsion. The husband denied that he had compelled any improper conduct on the part of his wife. He admitted he had never taken any decisive action to protect his home, but said he had refrained for the sake of his chil dren. "Any real man would have taken the other fellow by the neck and broken it." said Judge Gatens.
