Chicago, Juno 21. "They may
crucify me on the cross of public op
inion and place on my head the
crown of condemnation and thrust
my sides with the spears of malice
but they cannot force from me a
single word hurting Mr. See. He Is
Iny light." This statement was made

on statutory charges in which the
girl is mentioned. Before the trial
was resumed today Stephen fridges
pleaded with her to dusrt See. She
rcfused to do so. That there has been!
a quarrel between tho "Two Lights"
was seen today when Mildred snub
bed Mona Rees. Mildred admitted
that she believed See's teachings but
Fhe could not remember any religious
rlti-s practiced at the Junior com
monwealth that were damaging. She
could not recall reading a passage In
the book of truth which said: "Mil
dred ! the IJght of my house; tho
house of the Lord, and she shall not
depart therefrom." She cleverly par
ried any questions concerning rela
tions with See.

this day I'll pick up my life and en
ter the rpirlt of wifehood and bo a
true wife. No matter where you may
be always remember that there Is a
little girl at home loving you your
girl-wife. Evelyn. T love you." The
state now hopes to break down the
witness and force her to give the de
tails of the "rites" practiced In the
"Commonwealth." During the recess

gan talking to Mona Roes and Mil
