Fat Follower of Father Di vine Eager to Take Stand In Answer to Young Girl's Claim of Seduction. LOS ANGELES, June S4-(AP) Fat, rotund John Quwt Hunt, ciple of negro cult leader. Father Divine, opened hi defense today against the federal government's charge that be brought 17-year eld Delight Jewett from Colorado to Cal ifornia and debauched bar. As the government closed It case Judge Leon Yankwlch denied a de fenae motion for acquittal and com mented : "I am satisfied that the facta here are such as to Justify the Jury In finding all defendants guilty on both counts of the Indictment. The evi dence shows that Hunt satisfied his lust at the expense of this mere Child, keeping up a pretense that It was being done In the name of holy religion." Others Accused Also Indicted with Hunt were H. B. Smith, Mrs. Agnes Gardner and Mrs. Elisabeth Peters. Paul J. Cotber, agent of the fed eral bureau of Investigation, was the last prosecution witness. He snld Smith told him Miss Jewett'a par ents were not notified when she left Denver and came with Hunt to ihls Beverly Hills home. He said Smith also told him Hunt spent $50,000 In a period of four months, buying, among other things, costly clothing for Miss Jewett. Testifying that she was seduced by Hunt, Miss. Jewett told the Jury that as the Virgin Mary, she was to have gone to Honolulu to give bltth to a new redeemer. "Mr. Hunt was Jesus the Chr'st, X was the Virgin Mary, and I was to have my new redeemer in Hono lulu, but they didn't tell me when," the girl testified. "Who was to have been the holy ghost?" Interrupted Judge Yankwlch. spectator ousted A courtroom spectator tittered and was ordered out. "Who was to have made the Ha waiian trip with you?" asked Jock Powell, federal prosecutor. 'Several cult, members and Mr. Ohrtert I mean Mr, Hunt,'' Dellgnt answered. The prosecutor asked her If she made a atop at Grant, N. M.( with Hunt on the alleged automobile trip from Denver to California. It was at grant that Mr. Hunt told me that I was to give birth by immaculate conception to a new re deemer," she said. "He warned me that the whole world probably would turn against me when It happened and that I would be an outcast. Then he told others In our party what he told me and they looked real pleas ed." . Enter Brush Salesman Concerning her previous testimony that a brush salesman entered Hunt's Beverly Hills home last Christmas day, when, she said, she and Hunt first had sexual Intercourse, Miss Jewett testified thst others there called him Joseph. Hunt's attorney Hugh MacBesh, asked her: "Isn't It a fact thst you were glad when you learned Joseph was not to be the father of tTie re deemer you were to bear?" "X guess so.' she answered. At one point In the questioning MacBeth, who is Liber lan consul here, asked Judge Yankwlch : "Is the Immaculate conception, as interpreted in tineology, 4 violation of the Mnnn act. your honor?' "The Immaculate conception Is not at stake." the Judge replied. "We are concerned with the matter of transportation for Immoral purposes. The government must show the Im moral purpose of the trip.' Hurt, nattily attired, expressed anxiety to take 'tine stand as the government was winding up Its case. "I love nothing better than to tell the truth,' he said during a recess. "Truth is a wonderful thing." "Peace I" echoed a follower nearby. "It Is truly wonderful I" ' ':-m T-jfimmmmd aBjajaaaa 1 1 J 1 L V x Dellrht Jewett. 17-year-old Denver. Colo., school rlrl.
